Tetley is hiring someone to drink tea all day while getting paid

If tea is your go-to brew, this may be the dream job for you: Tetley Tea is on the hunt for someone to drink tea and travel the world for a living.

The popular tea brand is looking for two people with a ‘clear passion for everything tea related’ to be one of their graduate trainee tea buyers.

Though it is worth mentioning that this unique job opportunity includes tasting up to 300 types of tea every day to develop your palate, organising and prioritising tea tasting alongside admin work, building relationships with suppliers and hitting weekly deadlines… But that sounds manageable alongside a nice brew, doesn’t it?

And better yet, while the job role will be based at the Tetley headquarters in London, after completing training the successful candidates will be given the opportunity to travel the world to visit and explore growing tea regions while expanding their own knowledge on all things cuppas.

The job advert reads: “Initially you will be supporting the tea buyer and work closely alongside the tasters to develop your palate.

“After a few years, there will be opportunity to travel to tea growing regions to build relationships with suppliers and cement your knowledge of the tea manufacturing process.

“You will have the chance to work on many origins throughout your training and after five years you can expect to progress into a fully qualified tea buyer responsible for your own origin.”

And for the boring stuff; the ideal candidate will need to have a 2:2 level or above degree qualification, strong analytical skills, strong planning, time management and organisation skills, cultural and commercial awareness, and be able to work well under pressure.

Oh, and you need to like tea. That’s a must.
