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.
