Started in Tasting/Buying/Blending/Trading in 1997, worked up to senior management level by 2008 (in trading, buying/supply chain), but always strove to keep close to the Tea Tasting bench and the practical side of the business. Orientation in the Tea Estates and regular extensive visit to Tea Estates in the major tea producing countries has given deep knowledge and experience of all aspects of the Tea business.
