Tea Mixologist

Bird and Blend Exeter

June 2022- December 2023 summer and Christmas seasonal:

As a Tea Mixologist, I have learnt to make and serve drinks both hot and cold as well as cocktails for ‘Lock Ins’. I’ve learnt Canadian-style customer service which focuses on the customer experience. I have to efficiently communicate to ensure the best possible service for the customer and make them feel welcomed and want to return to the store.

I’ve also done open and closing of the shop, cleaning, stock take, outside sampling and operation of an iPad based POS system. This job has greatly improved my confidence and understanding of front of house service, as well as developing the ability to move quickly between multiple tasks without losing focus or momentum.
