Sometimes people write nice things...
If you like writing nice things about independent companies with something new to offer, why not get in touch with us. After all, we're steadily changing attitudes to loose leaf tea, both through our retail and our wholesale departments.
Contact Will Cartwright-Hignett on will[at]firstclassteas.co.uk for information on interviews and tea related copy.
Christmas 2007
First Class Teas is proud to have been selected as part of The Guardian's Independent Shopping Guide to the UK for 2007/8. We're particularly pleased because it shows that we're appealing to all sorts of people, with the right balance of product quality, pricing and expertise.
September 2007
We were again featured in Style Magazine in Cambridge, in an article exploring the more stylish aspects of the rise of tea culture (so obviously they needed to talk about us!).
May 2007
Thanks to the recommendation from a customer (many thanks indeed!), we have been featured in an online article about great Independent shops in Cambridge. You can find it here.
We would like to encourage you, if you have enjoyed our teas, or a visit to our shop, to tell your regular newspaper so that they might tell the rest of the world - every little helps!January 2007
Hooray! Our first press coverage has appeared in "Style", an excellent free glossy which informs the Cambridgeshire public of what is, and is not, 'in'. Apparently we are definitely 'in', which is quite a relief!
Any free editorial (especially the supportive stuff!) is always much appreciated as it's often the only way small businesses can get [/afford] publicity in a competitive retail environment. So thanks to Cambridge Evening News not only for a lovely article but for showing support for small businesses whilst at the same time informing the local community about us.
And here are some links to interesting websites and reports about tea. How jolly...
