Passionate about real tea, I launched Team Tea in early 2018 after training as a Tea Sommelier, because I wanted to banish boring brews and showcase the immense diversity that this single plant has to offer.
Valerie Diederichs, Founder
I met Valerie at Blenheim Autumn Market in 2023. I absolutely love her range of teas – I have never seen so many varieties in one place and I mean compared to some high street tea chains I could mention! She is a fantastic ‘blendanista’, really knows her leaves and is such a lovely lady who is passionate about her products.
