FRSHR - Good and Proper Tea
We talk to Emilie Holmes, founder of Good & Proper Tea.
An imported culture of skinny lattes and frappucinos-to-go has meant coffee has dominated our high streets for over a decade. And what high street chains started many years ago, London has improved upon. The city now boasts some of the world's best coffee shops, where you can not only choose how much frothy milk you want, but where the beans are from, how and where they were roasted and most importantly the brewing method used to create your particular cup. And yet, though tea has remained the nation's favourite hot drink, the quality on offer when we are out and about is more often than not distinctly average.
Emilie wants to change this, and has started doing so by going out and about on the streets of London in a 1970's Citroen van converted into a fantastic 'tea station'. We talk tea, tweeting and how she got to where she is today...
