Ruth and I, along with Jessica Chrysler, who has worked extensively on the design for product and packaging, recently visited Teaworks, who are importing and packaging my product. Al Sherner, the Proprietor was most helpful in showing us his system for bagging the tea, packaging it, and shipping etc. He and Jessica discussed at length all the advantages and disadvantages of different types of packaging materials, and Jessica finally got to work on a revised version of the British phone Box, incorporating all the decisions that were made. I had a couple of pictures taken trying to look as though I knew how to operate the machinery, but it is really a job for Al’s experts. Apart from the four current flavours, we talked about extending into other varieties in a little while. The range of possibilities is endless, with delightful sounding brews like peach tea, white tea, peppermint tea, etc. We are looking into that and hope to have a bigger range before too long. But baby steps…
