About the Author

After working together at a large tea company, NICK KILBY and LOUISE CHEADLE set up teapigs in 2006 with one mission: to get the nation (and the world) drinking real tea again. NICK KILBY is the expert in sales and marketing and he's worked within the tea industry in the UK as well as in France and Canada. Fed up of drinking and working with dusty tea and fed up of the corporate life, he set up teapigs with Louise Cheadle - to his great relief, he hasn't had to wear a shirt and tie since. LOUISE CHEADLE is a tea taster extraordinaire - she has tasted thousands and thousands of cups of tea. She has been tasting tea officially for the last 15 years but comes from a long line of tea-lovers so was introduced to tea at a very young age. She trained among the finest tasters in the world and has travelled extensively visiting hundreds of tea estates and numerous tea-growing countries.
