This podcast episode features James Beard award-winning author, entrepreneur, adventurer and tea-lover Henritta Lovell.
Growing up in London, England, she was used to the common British industrial tea products. A business trip to Hong Kong in 1999 changed her view forever - the incredible depth and taste of the liquor awakened something in her. She wanted to shared the amazing experience with people around the world in an honest way.
So in 2004, she left a career in corporate finance to found the Rare Tea Company, an ethical and sustainable tea business which trades teas and herbal infusions directly with farmers around the world.
She travels the world to source great products and sells to them top restaurants and hotels like Noma, 11 Madison Park, Gordon Ramsey and Claridges.
In 2016, she started Rare Charity, which donates a portion of Rare Tea Company's revenue back to its partner farms to support educational scholarships.
She published her memoir Infused, Adventures in Tea in 2019 and wrote lovingly about her personal love and adventures surrounding this great beverage.
