We're stoked that major mainstream restaurants Wagamama and Wahaca have been stocking our teas at their restaurants across the UK over the past year. Being plastic-free, compostable and made in the UK from renewable energy, our teas are helping the food service tap into a massive consumer trend – paying more for sustainable products. According to a recent report by PwC, almost 9 in 10 consumers are willing to pay more for sustainability, What’s more, some consumers are willing to pay 9.7% more for goods that are environmentally friendly. Some deciding factors include: · Locally-sourced · Made from recycled or eco-friendly materials · Produced with a lower carbon footprint Diners are increasingly savvy about sustainability - what other sustainable products can the food service industry shout out about? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. #sustainability #restaurants #local #consumers

This week we had the pleasure of attending the City University fresher's week fair, where we held an exciting tea tasting pop up. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with students, sharing our passion for sustainability, and showcasing our different tea blends which embody our commitment to ethical sourcing. It was a joy to engage in meaningful conversations about the values that drive our work. A huge thank you to Graysons and City, University of London for inviting us to attend the event – and to all those who stopped by! We hope you loved our teas as much as we enjoyed sharing them! #PopUpEvent #TeaTasting #Sustainability
