Twenty-two years does not happen alone.

It happens because a mentor told me to trust what I knew and take the step. I did not forget that.

It happens because customers believed before there was much to believe in. So many of them are still with us today, two decades later. They are not customers. They are the foundation.

It happens because colleagues show up every day with the same conviction. Their passion is what Tea Drop actually is, beyond any cup we pour.

It happens because tea plantations and farmers across the world have shared their craft and trusted Tea Drop to carry what they have spent generations building. Every cup carries their character.

And to my wife, who has been my anchor through every season of this journey: thank you.

This month, Tea Drop turns 22. It is also International Tea Day — a day that feels especially close to the story we are celebrating.

If you have been part of this journey in any way — as a customer, a partner, or someone who simply loves tea — this anniversary belongs to you as much as it does to me.

Thank you for being here.

How to make a wellness blend tea

Making a warm cup of one of our moringa or turmeric teas is easy.

First, choose your preferred winter wellness blend. Then, bring water almost to a boil at 99C. For optimum flavour, always use fresh, filtered, low mineral cold water. Do not re-boil water as it loses oxygen and becomes flat. Steep your tea for three to six minutes to develop the flavours and get the right colour. To finish, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or honey to make it even more soothing to your throat.

Chamomile Blossoms Panna Cotta Recipe

Serves: 8 | Prep time: 10-15 minutes plus 30 minutes infusing | Setting time: 6 hours

Ingredients:

• 150ml full cream milk
• 850ml thickened cream
• 5 heaped tablespoons Tea Drop Chamomile Blossoms
• 100g honey (orange blossom honey is ideal)
• 4 gelatine leaves (from a pack where 15 leaves weigh 25g)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, chamomile blossoms, and honey. Bring to a gentle heat, stirring occasionally to submerge the chamomile. Just before boiling, turn off the heat and let the mixture infuse for 30 minutes.

2. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 3 to 5 minutes until softened.

3. Reheat the infused mixture until it’s nearly boiling. Remove from heat and strain one cup into a heatproof bowl. Squeeze out the gelatine leaves and whisk into the warm liquid until dissolved. Add back the remaining strained liquid and discard the tea blossoms.

4. Stir the mixture over a bowl of iced water to cool. Pour into a 1L fluted dish or individual moulds. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

5. To unmould, dip the bottom of the mould in hot water for 5 seconds and turn onto a plate. Serve with chamomile-poached apricots or fresh berries.
