Create a teahouse concept. If this is a place for young people, then bet on mass. It can be a distribution line and several rooms. If you are creating an exclusive tea room with elite teas, you need to pay attention to the level of service. For example, a cook from a tiny Chinese province will have trouble working for you. And all the waitresses will wear the national clothes of China.

Study books with recipes of national cuisine of the peoples of the world. Create a menu. Choose the option for which you have all the necessary resources. For example, if you want to open a tea yurt with national Buryat drinks, then find a supplier of products from Buryatia.

Create a project for the future teahouse - what the interior will look like, what kind of staff you will need. Hire a contractor who will repair the premises in your chosen style. Hire staff and train them in service guidelines. For example, an oriental tea ceremony has a very complex structure. An image of a teahouse can be built on its uniqueness.
