The Tea Studio Project brings together tea experts from 3 continents. This experimental micro-unit tea factory is equipped for a progressive approach to tea manufacture. Designed to cater to the rapidly expanding market for ‘boutique’ style tea with a wide diversity of ‘tailor made’, whole-leaf teas. Once the Tea Studio’s manufacture stabilizes there are ‘Phase 2 and 3’ plans to extend the use of the Tea Studio. Phase 2 will be to use the unit as a venue for experimental research. Friends from Tea Research Institutes and favourite tea producers from China, Taiwan, Japan, Nepal and other parts of India have already shown interest in future projects and the development of our production. Phase 3 will be to use the Tea Studio as an educational facility for other small-scale producers of India, and other growing regions around the World, to develop their own regionally specific teas for the boutique market.
