teapigs
Nick and Louise started teapigs in November 2006 with one mission – to get the nation drinking real tea again.
Back then, things looked a little different. Really great things were happening in coffee however, not-so-great things were happening in tea.
Even though we are a nation of tea drinkers, quality tea was hard to come by unless you went somewhere super fancy. We wanted to change all that and make great quality tea accessible, and a whole lot more fun!
And so teapigs was born.

Favela Cerveja
From Leblon to Copacabana beaches, Rio is a place where the music of the streets moves to the rhythm of the waves. Where the flavours of hillside Favelas mingle with the tropical heat of its white sands, and where the pulse of the city is reflected in the beauty of its people.
This is the place where Favela Cerveja was born. Inspired by the sights, sounds and flavours of Rio's Favelas, we created a lifestyle beer brand that adopted the independent spirit of its people – a brand defined by freedom, passion, colour and confidence, and above all, an instinct to live outside the rules.
