About teapigs
teapigs is a British tea brand founded in 2006 in Brentford, West London, by Louise Cheadle and Nick Kilby, who both came from Tetley. Tata Consumer Products funded it from the start, and it now sells in more than 40 countries; teapigs.com is its US web store, and Tata lists an office in Brooklyn. It sells through grocers, cafes and hotels, not its own shops. The UK company has been a certified B Corp since September 2019.
The format is the product: whole-leaf tea, herbs and fruit in a roomy plant-based mesh pyramid it calls a tea temple, so the leaf can open like loose tea. The range leans on flavored and herbal blends, with a few straight teas. teapigs says its teas have won over 150 Great Taste Awards. Order english breakfast first, a blend of Assam, Rwandan and Ceylon tea, then mao feng green tea from Anhui. The matcha comes from Nishio, Japan, and is Soil Association organic.
