We have hired a guest tea maker to work with us on a very special, limited edition tea.
We are so excited to welcome Beverly Wainwright of the Scottish Tea Factory to our processing facility here in Mississippi to join us on the development of this new tea.
Beverly comes to us with an impressive track record. It includes her spending time in Sri Lanka managing Amba Tea Estate. In just four years she turned around the fortunes of this estate by setting up the first micro scale tea factory in Sri Lanka and developing a line of exclusive hand made teas that were sold to the likes of Harney and Sons in the US and Fortnum and Mason in the UK.
In more recent years Beverly has been working as a consultant. She has helped set up 2 small scale international tea sellers. Built a tea factory in Scotland and won awards with clients for their teas. Closer to us, she has also been working with our fellow tea friends from Fleur De Lis Tea Company in Amite, Louisiana to help them establish their own line of Louisiana grown teas.
Beverly's philosophy when creating a new tea is never to try and copy an existing tea but rather to develop flavor and processing methods that suit the plants and the terroir. This combined with our own experience with Mississippi tea and tea science in general, has made for a really great collaboration. We are more than confident this will result in an outstanding tea.
Update!
13 Moons went on to win a Gold at the NATC Competition. Check out more on this here.
