<description>&lt;p&gt;Who knew tea grew in Argentina? Not us, until we met Kim Wong from, a passionate advocate for Argentine tea and the owner of Tienda de Te, a small tea shop in Villa General Belgrano in central Argentina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think so many of us want to run a tea shop someday, and so we wanted to know how Kim, a Londoner with Hong Kong roots, found herself running a proudly Argentine tea business so far away from home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She shares the real-real here. Among them: how she maintains her business on the side while running a restaurant, how she&amp;#39;s decided to happily market to a Spanish speaking audience instead of a global one, and how she deals with the comparison-itis many of us experience when being on tea social media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kim also introduces us to what makes Argentina&amp;#39;s tea special: an industry that began more than 100 years ago!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
