Stories of Tea

2 March 2023 /Posted byTerry

10 years ago Hilary White (founder of Elmstock Tea) wrote a series of blog posts called the Stories of Tea: A Journey through the Mysteries & Myths of Tea. With the launch of our new website we thought it would be a good time to revisit those posts (with updates if needed).

These posts are non-technical and cover things such environmental factors, distribution and the sale of tea and also unravel a lot of the untruths that surround tea. We will be posting one every fortnight, with the first one up now.

Enjoy Hilary’s journey through the world of tea and his insight into an industry which his family have been a part of for 6 generations!
