Chat 4 Ways to Set up Your Tea Bar
Tea is one of the best ways that you can easily cater the spa experience. With blends that specifically cater to a wellness lifestyle, brands like White Lion have revitalized what clients can get out of spa refreshments.
But carrying and offering the right products is only the first step. Deciding how to serve your guests is equally important, as it sets the tone for their spa visit and brings forward the specific ambience that you wish to achieve. To help you decide what works best for your clients, we've gathered some options to consider when setting up your tea bar:
1. Barista
In this layout, spa guests can serve themselves using a tea bar situated in your relaxation area. This works well for spa owners who value visual presentation, as it lets your clients see the teas you offer and gives them the opportunity to try out more than one tea. It's also a great layout for businesses that have a smaller staff.
Because this tea bar offers clients several options and showcases the products, it's perfect for spas looking to boost retail tea sales.
2. Butler
Add value to select treatments by serving your guest a pot of tea directly. This is an excellent amenity for pedicures, post-treatment perks, and as a refreshment between multiple treatments.
This option provides more of a luxurious feel for your spa, and makes it much easier to streamline and control the ambience of your space.
3. Iced Tea
Similar to the Barista style, your guests will enjoy the tea bar themselves. However, the hot water dispenser is replaced with a cold tea dispenser.
For those with the space, this could be a great add-on to the Barista option. This allows you to cater to a wide variety of client palates.
4. Individually Wrapped
Spa guests can help themselves to individually wrapped teas in this layout. Like the Barista option, this style is perfect for upselling your retail tea products.
