Looking back, Tea Story's journey this past year has seen tea step off the shelves and out of the cup, finding its way to places where stories unfold—quietly leaving a warm brew in its wake.
I. Tea, Across London's Diverse Landscape
In September, a tea stall appeared at the Backyard Market weekend market. Over three thousand visitors took home their first box of Tea Story in the morning light.

By October, Tea Story had found its place in Stratford Westfield, becoming a tea brand featured in long-term window displays, consistently reaching tens of thousands of visitors monthly.
Also in September, at the Outland Publishing Fair in White City Warehouse, the tea station served over two hundred cups in a single day. Many, while browsing art books, remembered the delicate white tea by their side.

II. Tea, as an Eastern Dialogue on the International Stage
In November, Tea Story appeared at World Travel Market (WTM) in London's ExCeL Centre, receiving industry visitors from forty-seven countries, with over thirty buyers leaving serious partnership inquiries.


In January, an independent booth was set up at the Travel Xpo in Lillestrøm, Norway. Nordic visitors showed clear intent to repurchase the Osmanthus-aged White Tea.

III. Tea, Woven into Sport, Art, and Daily Life
In September, the 'Polo & Tea Tasting Evening' at Ham Polo Club saw the tea station placed beside the grounds. Following the event, the club added Tea Story to its long-term partner list for summer socials.

Over the year, Tea Story participated in or hosted nine wellness-themed events, including yoga celebrations, international dance salons, meditation workshops, and sauna tea sessions. Feedback indicated that 73% of participants felt the tea significantly enhanced their experience.
Three collaborative 'Art & Tea' sessions were held with local artists, and five jewellery and heritage craft DIY events took place at My Trove Jewels. On these occasions, tea was repeatedly described as "a quiet, fitting companion."

IV. Tea, Connecting People and Moments
In September, the Mid-Autumn Festival tea ceremony curated for China Telecom UK was rated their highest-scoring cultural event of the year.

The monthly London offline tea socials maintained an average attendance rate of 92%, giving rise to two spontaneous tea appreciation communities.
In December, Tea Story was selected as the table gift for two separate New Year's Eve galas. The organisers noted: "A higher proportion of tea caddies were taken home compared to other souvenirs."

These moments trace a clear path: tea is no longer just for drinking. It has begun to appear across different facets of lifestyle, becoming part of the experience itself.
Every event was documented. If you encountered us somewhere, perhaps you still remember the taste of that cup of tea.

In the coming year, tea will continue to travel further.And the flavour of every Tea Story blend remains here, waiting for you to discover it for yourself!
