The Tea Community Honors
Mr. George T. Richards
at The 9th Annual Holiday Awards Dinner
December 6, 2004 - Approximately 85 tea professionals gathered at the lovely DownTown Association in New York City to honor a well-respected veteran of our industry.
George attended the event with his wife Ann and 3 of their children: Tom, Barbara & Sally. He was thrilled with the outpouring of warmth and good wishes from the attendees and he thanked the Association profusely.
George was extremely gracious in accepting the award and utilized his moment in the spotlight to make a proposal for the industry.
