We recently held an event in the West End at our favourite tea merchant, Postcard Teas, with all proceeds going to Shuktara, a charity we support in India.
It was a ticketed event at Postcard Teas in Dering Street W1, just off New Bond Street.
Postcard Teas are to tea what The Winery is to wine. Timothy d’Offay travels to China, Taiwan, Japan, India, Vietnam and Korea to find tea masters making small batches of very fine tea.
The event was a Benefit for Shuktara, a charity which provides a loving home for life for children and young people with disabilities who have no family of their own in Kolkata, India.
Why Shuktara? The Winery’s David Motion and his wife Vera have visited India several times over the past three years. They were in Kolkata last year and visited Shuktara – they were deeply impressed and have supported it ever since.
You may also have noticed some Indian photos on our facebook page earlier this year – our latest, biodegradable bags were made in India.
