Iris & José
We are passionate about tea in every sense of the word, from tasting or enjoying it in the comfort of our home to experiencing first-hand the exhausting production process of our favourite drink.
But if there is something we enjoy even more, it is sharing these experiences with you. Let's get to know each other a little better!
