Editor, TeaTime Magazine (Hoffman Media) and Jane Pettigrew’s World of Tea (83Press)

Lorna Reeves was introduced to the pleasures of afternoon tea at the Williamsburg Inn many years ago, and it wasn’t long before tea drinking became an essential part her daily routine. While Lorna has studied with World Tea Academy and the Specialty Tea Institute, her travels to tea estates in Sri Lanka and India have given her full appreciation for the marvelous beverage and those who produce it. She has been editor of TeaTime for more than half of the bimonthly consumer magazine’s 20 years. Of her many responsibilities as editor, she especially enjoys visiting tea businesses of all styles and telling their stories in the pages of the magazine, which was named Best Tea Publication at the World Tea Awards twice. She also served as editor of the award-winning book Jane Pettigrew’s World of Tea (83Press, 2018). Lorna has been a panelist and a panel moderator at World Tea Expo and speaks at tea festivals throughout the United States and Canada, as well as at women’s ministry events.
