"Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with. She wears her significant experience in the tea industry with a winning lightness and charm. She is unflagging in her positivity and good nature. For an enterprise like Albion Tea which is looking to push boundaries and challenge convention with our Tea Pubs, Angela was ready to go the extra mile to help us get closer to our goals. We learned a lot about the art as well as the industry of tea with Angela as she combines knowledge of both."
