Good Tea. Nothing to Hide.Tea is Too Cheap. We've been drinking tea for 300 years. A kilo of tea would have cost � back then, now you can get a kilo for ٠. Mad. Lots of hard work goes into growing, picking, processing, packing, branding and selling tea. But the rewards for doing each job are not equal. Most of the money is made in the UK. Too little is made where the tea is grown. And tea farmers are mostly living in poverty. The cheaper tea gets here, the less money there is to go round. The focus goes on growing lots of tea cheaply. Instead of growing good tea. Or growing tea well. This means your morning cuppa tastes worse. You start to look elsewhere coffee? And the spiral continues. There's a long chain of middlemen between us and the growers. This makes things murky- and almost impossible to see what the farmers at the end of the chain are paid. That's the bad bit done. So, we thought... ""Let's start again"". Find a great tasting tea that hits the spot. Buy the tea direct, cutting out middlemen. Pay the farmers more. For you, a better cuppa. For the farmer, a better price. For you a Better Cuppa Bold not ""meh"", full-Bodied, not wishy-Washy, thick, not thin, golden, not grey. Totally hits the spot.
