Tea in the digital age! We have spent quite some time refreshing our brand and creating some fantastic social media content that we hope bring our tea to life with visuals. We know you work in a fast paced environment, so we have sped up the process by providing you with all the key information you require to promote our tea brand to customers
Whether you are a tea time tenderfoot or a serious sipper, we know that making a tea selection for your new business can be a daunting task. Most Australian tea drinkers expect to find something a little more interesting than just an English Breakfast or plain Peppermint tea on a cafe menu or on a retail shelf. We also know that the Australian tea drinker has become quite discerning and knows the difference between a good and a bad cuppa. Stocking and serving high-quality teas has become really important. For inspiration check out our Best Teas to Stock.
We have put together some first order suggestions depending on your business type below, just to get you started-:

We have crafted 2 options for you- a detailed and summarised version. You can use or edit this as you wish to create your own tea menu for your business. It’s so important that you communicate effectively what you are serving and selling so your customers know what flavours to expect! Whether this is via a blackboard or in a menu for table service, this is a must to help you implement the teas successfully into your business.
We are always happy to work with you on helping to promote our products in your business and welcome any ideas on how we can collaborate. For example, if you plan on having an opening special or a promotional event- perhaps we could supply the tea for you to sample or we could provide a gift with purchase to help with sales on the introduction of the tea to your store. Cross promotional opportunities on social media also exist and can be utilised to mutually benefit both parties.
There is a huge benefit in sampling our product- people like to try before they buy! And, we know that most people will try the teas and love the flavours so they are "sold" on the product quickly. We have resourced and grouped all the items you require to do this to keep it really simple for you. It includes everything you will need from brewing, to presentation and to sampling- really helping to create a tea drinking experience for your customers. It is an interactive and fun way for your customers to get to know our product if they can see, feel, smell and taste the product.
You'd be surprised how effective it can be to just include a warm, smiling photograph of yourself. Or maybe you wouldn't be so surprised. Maybe you just don't surprise easily. Or maybe you're just incredibly wise. Yes. That must be it. Wise and warmly smiling. What a winning combination.
