Last week we attended the Food and Drink Expo at the NEC Birmingham. This was only our second ever trade show (although we have also done some consumer shows) and we just can’t get enough.

A lot has been going on at LuLin Teas lately so I thought I would just do a little blog to update you with some of the major things:

We have a few new stockists and are putting together a webpage for you to be able to check who stocks us or where you can go for a cup of our tea and a piece of cake!

We have also moved premises. We are now operating out of our own warehouse which means we will be able to offer more services than before, including international shipping so watch this space for more news on that! Not that this effects the tea but the setting for our new premises is beautiful – there is a stream running beside the warehouse so we have happy staff who can’t wait for summer picnics during their lunch breaks!

Last week we attended The BBC Good Food Show Winter in the NEC Birmingham. It was our first consumer show so we were very excited, nervous…and stressed! We arrived in Birmingham on Tuesday to begin the build up of our stand – after a few hours of putting together furniture, unpacking stock, moving stuff around and then moving it all back again we were finally happy with how our stand looked!
