Introduction to the team
Philippa Worsfold
Herbal Buyer & Blender
I am Tetley's herbal tea buyer and blender - so that means anything that's not from the Camellia sinensis tea plant.
The day to day variety of my job, along with the fact that I can always get a variety of good cuppas has kept me hooked on tea for the last 7 years or so at Tetley. I have been very lucky to travel to some amazing places, including a 2 month stint in California last year visiting another herbal tea company. My favourite black tea blend delivers a good, rich, strong cup - ideally a mix of teas from Assam and Kenya (think Tetley Extra Strong!). I've also become a real fan of Redbush tea (and not just because I buy it). I love it as an alternative to endless glasses of water - something that delivers lots of flavour and hydration.
