New Forest Artisans:By Suzanne AshworthTea & Coffee Whether your favoured drink is tea or coffee, we all tend to haveour favourites and stick to blends we are familiar with.However, there is also a growing recognition that not all brands offer the most sustainablechoices and that taking time to try some locally produced products can reduce food miles andsupport the economic community. Times have been hard and being locked down due to Covidhas had a big impact on our spending and socialising – possibly we are all a little morethoughtful in our decisions and want the best we can obtain within our own locality.TEATea is the world’s second most consumedbeverage and 84% of the British populationdrink tea daily – often several cups! Now grownin many worldwide locations the original teagrowing took place in Asia – the Camelliasinensis plant is the derivative of all other teavarieties. To grow successfully tea needs hotdays and cool nights, preferably at highaltitudes. In the UK we mostly consume blackteas with high caffeine levels, although thehealth benefits of green tea is increasingdemand. White tea is more rarely found andmore expensive. Semi-fermented tea iscalled oolong and the most exclusive tea of allis pu erh tea, which is aged for up to 50 years.Local New Forest supplier Tips &Leaves (www.tipsnleaves.com) can offer allthese teas and source premium teas from allaround the globe. Witha motto of Is it teayou’re looking for?, allof their teas areethically sourced andpacked in homecompostablepackaging. Owners Ianand Kelly (accompanied by their dog Gracie)have also established The New Forest TeaCompany as a result of the changes duringlockdown – previously they ran two tea loungesin Lyndhurst and had been sourcing teas forover a decade. However, the Covid lockdowngave them time to not only develop newblends, in association with their tea importer,but also to address their concerns aboutsustainable production and supply. They nowpackage tea in refillable pouches or usepackaging made from Natureflex, which breaksdown after 3-6 months. All their ethicallysourced, premium teas come in plastic free,compostable tea pyramids – addressing thegrowing concern about the plastic present inin home compostable pouches as well asoffering refill options to keep your tea tin full.You can buy their tea online (postage free ifyour order is over £20) and Ian and Kelly alsosupply wholesale to many New Forestcompanies – cafes, farm shops, hotels,restaurants and holiday accommodation. Theircommitment to provide “premium tea thatdoesn’t cost the earth” and expansion since2021 has led to The New Forest Tea Companybeing awarded the Best New Business in theNew Forest Brilliance in Business Awards.Find out more about Ian and Kelly’s adventuresin sustainable tea supply on their facebookpage, twitter , email onnewforestteaco@gmail.com or meet them atthe Highcliffe Food and Arts Festival.

She wanted to also tackle theamount of plastic waste created by themainstream coffee outlets and determined touse sustainable coffee beans and plastic-freepackaging. Robyn was told by everyone sheasked that being sustainable and profitable inroasting and selling coffee would be impossible,but she set off in her solar-powered coffee vananyway! Once Covid put paid to her mobilework, Robyn concentrated on roasting coffeesourced from ethical suppliers and keepinghomeworkers supplied with specialist coffee.
