Testimonials
“Karen’s passion for tea and her extensive experience in the field is probably responsible for more converts than anyone I know. Best suited for long term customer relations management and project development, prospective employers should utilize her wealth of knowledge, creativity and trust in her absolute dependability.”
Frank Kwei, Owner, In Pursuit of Tea
“As the manager of Lady Mendl’s Tea Salon, one of the busiest tea houses in New York City, I have come to rely on Ms. Dunlap’s deep appreciation and understanding of tea varietals and culture. Through monthly lectures over the past several years Karen has instructed the staff at Lady Mendl’s in the subtleties of leaf varietals, and the language by which to describe such subtlety. Karen has also been a valued consultant in developing our current menu, including the creation of the beautifully crafted descriptions of our entire line of teas. Furthermore, I have turned to Ms. Dunlap to prepare me for my several on-air appearances, including Oprah Winfrey, Good Day Live, and Fox News.”

“Passionate, engaging and excellence driven, Karen was a critical component to the successful reinvigoration of the tea program at Union Square Cafe. Since taking over ownership of the list and the supporting staff education, Karen helped us enjoy added excitement, awareness and ultimately increased sales volume. Her approach is unassuming and easy to understand, her results are palpable. I definitely recommend Karen and her expertise.”
