Nick and Louise started tea pigs in November 2006 with one mission – to get the nation drinking real tea again. They met whilst working for a really big tea company, where they learned all about tea and drank lots of it. And the more they learned, and the more they drank, the more they came to realize something: that there's a whole world of quality teas out there that simply weren't getting the attention they deserve. Back then, things looked a little different. Facebook didn't exist, #tags weren't a thing, people still used paper maps, great things were happening in coffee and 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 fancy. We wanted to change all that make great quality tea accessible and a bit more fun! And so tea pigs was born. Nick describes himself as a tea evangelist (although much nicer than those shout ones on American TV). Louise, an experienced tea taster who has travelled the world tasting teas, is a self-confessed tea addict (not seeking rehab).
