We. Love. Our. Tea.

We are the tea-loving travel couple @travellingfortea: on the road for five years and married for nearly ten.

A few years ago we tried to get "into" matcha, but the price tag and bitterness got our attention (not in a good way). This shop is our answer! 

To avoid this matcha misery, we have collected a superb range of ethically sourced antioxidant-rich loose leaf teas that are delicious and affordable - come try them out!
