What does it take to create the perfect cup of tea and perform at the highest level of football? Ahmad Tea explored that connection firsthand with Manchester City and Ghana international forward Antoine Semenyo at an exclusive tea tasting masterclass in Hong Kong.
Held a day after Semenyo's Hong Kong Football Festival match against Inter Milan, the event formed part of Ahmad Tea's global "Preparation is Everything" campaign, which highlights the dedication, consistency, and attention to detail that drive both elite athletes and master tea blenders.
The gathering brought together media and partners for an afternoon that celebrated the work that happens behind the scenes long before a match kicks off or a cup of tea is poured.
Semenyo shared insights into his pre-season training, mental preparation, and personal routines ahead of the new football season, giving guests a glimpse into the discipline required to compete at the top level.
"Preparation is one of the most important parts of my career. What people see on matchday is only a small part of the work. It all comes from the routines, discipline, and mindset developed long before kick-off. I am working hard during pre-season on those processes to develop and improve everyday habits to be ready for a big season ahead," shared Semenyo.
