Nick Kilby and his co-founder Louise Cheadle left Tetley to form teapigs in 2006. They started off in Ealing and were lucky enough to outgrow their premises.

LOUISE CHEADLE and co-founder NICK KILBY left Tetley to form teapigs in 2006. Having slurped their way around the world, Nick and Louise were fully aware of the super powers of matcha, but in the UK matcha was relatively unknown until teapigs launched their range of matcha products in Selfridges in 2008. Matcha was an instant hit, and since then the matcha category has become firmly established in the tea market. Teapigs has become the UK´s most successful premium tea company and now sells worldwide. Their previous book, The Book of Tea , was published in 2015.
