About us

In July 2024, we launched our range of Speciality teas in the Hebrides. We have lived and worked on the Scottish isle of Mull since 2021 and are currently in the process of cultivating our own tea garden. We have created five unique signature blends - using the finest certified organic ingredients.  

If you are visiting Mull - you can enjoy our blends in the lovely Old postoffice tearoom & shop in Lochbuie (more stockists coming soon!)

​For 2-3 updates each year, consider joining our mailing list and read previous ‘tea in the hebrides' newsletters here. We love living in the Hebrides as the wild landscape provides endless inspiration for our creative work.

I’m the artist behind the artwork on our tea and the postcards. I have a BA in Fine art and sell my paintings on the island and on my art website. If you happen to be visiting the isle of Mull, some of my original paintings & limited edition prints are currently on display in the following local shops and galleries:

 Old Postoffice in Lochbuie

 An Tobar in Tobermory.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in my artwork -commissions are also welcome. For early access and updates specifically about new paintings, please consider signing up for my biannual free art newsletter here.

If you love the Hebridean islands, are fascinated by Scotlands ancient sites or have an interest in folklore, you might enjoy reading my articles on substack. My written work is infused by time spent exploring and researching local folk & plant-lore which provides inspiration for my paintings and tea recipes. On substack, it is also possible to become one of my patrons, who receive exclusive perks, like extended articles, patron only art postcards and calendars! All for as little as £4 per month or £40 per year. Each paid subscription is deeply appreciated, as it allows me to keep most of my written work free, whilst helping with the rising cost of living and art materials.

Nik my partner, loves history, the arts, organic tea and gardening as much as me and lovingly contributes some of his time to the tea side of the business we are building in the Hebrides.

He is most active on his YouTube channel and Substack.
