BRAND BUILDING THROUGH TEA
Creating bespoke teas & herbal blends
From breakfast brews through to fruity infusions, I can help you create the highest quality tea blends with vibrant aromas and delicious flavours.
There are thousands of different varieties of tea. Each has its own distinctive flavour and character. The quality is determined by the geology, geography and climate in which the tea is grown.
The art of tea blending is being able to recognise and work with these differences to create the right mix of ingredients.
As an expert tea blender, I’ll produce a unique tea that reflects your business brand and personality – and tastes great!

In bars and restaurants, tea cocktails are fast gaining popularity – adding a unique and unusual product to your drinks menu.

Working closely with you at every stage, I’ll find the right mix of ingredients to produce the perfect tipple.
