Picture this, you go out for drinks and you get the “good” champagne. You know what you’re paying for: the craftmanship, the quality of the grapes and the production, and the labour - you get it. Now, do you consider the same factors when you wake up feeling slightly hungover, stick the kettle on and whip out a PG Tips teabag? Today, I’m here with Henrietta Lovell, the founder of the Rare Tea Company. Her aim is to revolutionise the tea industry by working directly with farmers and their tea gardens to ensure the people who make it are getting fair pay and a good wage. The consumer is educated about the true value of tea.
I’m Stella, and I’m gonna take you out for a drink.
A big thank you to Henrietta for inviting me to the Rare Tearoom in Farringdon and I hope everyone enjoyed the latest episode.
