ABOUT THE OWNER
Joy Walsh has been a lifelong culinary artist and enthusiast.
Having enjoyed the tea experience privately for years, she began catering tea parties in 2002. Her presentation and cuisine was met with such positive reception that she decided to take her passion to the next level. She began taking steps to opening up her own business - developing recipes and menus, sampling fine teas, scouting locations for the future destination tea room, and amassing an impressive English china collection.
In spring 2004, Joy toured and visited some of the best tea rooms in England. In fall 2004, she attended a tea seminar hosted by distinguished tea master & author, Bruce Richardson. Joy has since taken a tea mastery course with the American Tea Masters Association. In September 2008, she had the privilege of touring China, the birthplace of tea, with another renowned master, Roy Fong.
The perfect location at the corner of Chatsworth and Voltaire was found! Joy signed the lease and resigned from her radio job. Tea-Upon-Chatsworth opened to rave reviews in November 2004, the culmination of Joy's passion and vision.
"Nothing makes a teacher more proud than a star student! I recently had the opportunity to speak at this tea room and visit with Joy, a graduate of my Tea 101 seminar. Her tea foods are some of the best I've encountered. Her comprehensive tea list has something for every taste and her tea preparation was spot on. Joy has spent several years broadening her knowledge as a student of tea. Tea-Upon-Chatsworth, with its efficient staff and delicious menu, is a haven of tea bliss in the city of San Diego."
