I have been making hand-made teas and teaching tea making around the world since 2011. I started my career in tea in Sri Lanka where I managed a small tea estate and set up a micro tea factory for several years. Since then I have helped develop several small scale tea factories overseas. The Scottish Tea Factory is my latest project and is a small working tea factory where I produce artisanal teas for Scottish growers and run various tea courses. I am also a licensed trainer for the U.K. TEA ACADEMY and in addition to running UKTA courses at the tea factory I have also produced two ONLINE courses - How to grow and make different types of tea at home and How to grow and make black and green tea professionally on a small scale. See the TEA COURSES page for what’s available. Tea plucking & making courses are available over the summer months at the factory, according to leaf availability so can’t be booked a long time in advance - please email us to register interest.
