At the 'T欧 Te' Tea Hub in the village of Trimsaran, the local community gather together weekly for a chat over a good cup of tea! Hosted by Tetrim Teas, a Welsh family business based in the Gwendraeth Valley, is a not-for-profit, wellbeing and ethical tea company. Caroline Evans joins them at the community centre in Trimsaran and hears how they're developing Rhubarb tea and mushroom teas. And they're not the only ones that think tea grown and made in Wales, has a future. In the hills above Knighton, Mandy Lloyd, who seems to relish the challenge of growing tea in less than favourable conditions, is hoping to build on the existing knowledge of growing tea in the UK. Meanwhile, Lucy George has been growing tea for around 9 years on her farm in the Vale of Glamorgan and is now a Nuffield Scholar looking at tea cultivation as a high value niche crop in the UK, one with ecological and social benefits too!
