Exploring Tea Shirt - helping the UK drink better tea.
Tea Shirt® is an eco-conscious tea company founded in 2016 by Andras and Kriszti. Specializing in premium, award-winning loose-leaf teas, they emphasize sustainability with plastic-free, reusable, and recyclable packaging.
Their dedication to quality has earned them 22 food and drink awards, including the prestigious Golden Fork for Small Artisan Producer of the Year.

Day-to-Day Operations at Tea Shirt
Tea Shirt® operates out of London, selling their products online and at local markets like Borough Market and Brick Lane. Despite challenges, including opening a shop just before the pandemic, they continue to thrive. The company focuses on sourcing and packaging teas, ensuring each product meets their high standards of taste and sustainability. The peak season for Tea Shirt® runs from October to May, with increased activity in those months.
“
Every aspect of our company reflects on our values: besides striving to provide the best-tasting teas and to have the lowest possible impact on our environment, we hope to become a valuable business in our community by regularly donating to local charities.”
How HOLD Storage Supports Tea Shirt
HOLD Storage plays a crucial role in Tea Shirt's operations. Andras manages much of the business from their storage unit, using it as a central hub for packaging, labeling, and organizing stock. The convenience of receiving deliveries directly at the unit and the availability of essential tools like a PC, printer, and packing machine make HOLD an integral part of their daily workflow. The reliable service and support from the HOLD team ensure that Tea Shirt® can operate smoothly and efficiently.
The Importance of a Supportive Store Team
For Andras, the support from the HOLD King's Cross store team has been indispensable. The team is not only helpful with day-to-day operations, such as handling deliveries, but also provides the flexibility and security that are essential for the business. The team's attentiveness allows Andras to focus on growing Tea Shirt®, knowing that the storage aspect is well taken care of.
