Many coffee and tea businesses say that supporting origin is at the heart of what they do, but for few it is as literal as Origin Tea.
“We’re one of only a few tea companies in Australia who actually have their own operations at the source and direct relationships with plantations,” says Chris Seaton, Director of Origin Tea.
“Our journey and experience in the tea industry actually began in origin. Our family owned tea plantations in Sri Lanka and we founded Origin Tea at home in Australia to add value to those farms.”
Chris co-founded the family-owned Origin Tea with his brother Lawrence in 2012, seeing a gap in the market for a tea supplier with such strong ties abroad.
