As the Queen celebrates her yearly summer vacation in Scotland, Fortnum and Mason has launched a new tea: Nine Ladies Dancing, a tea that is grown in the independent gardens across Scotland.
The Tea Gardens of Scotland, new artisanal tea brand, launch Nine Ladies Dancing and have landed orders with Fortnum & Mason and The Corinthia Hotel with its first batch of tea plucked from nine independent tea gardens across Scotland.
This pioneering collaboration is the result of four years of planning, with nine women entrepreneurs creating the Tea Gardens of Scotland collective in 2016. With a mission to produce a revolutionary wave of authentic, hand-crafted Scottish tea, each of these ladies forged new careers as tea planters, transforming abandoned walled gardens, diversifying farms and converting home gardens in Perthshire, Fife and Angus and Kincardineshire. They shared glasshouses and machinery, and as a united force they propagated tea plants from seed in distinctive sheltered micro-climates round the country.
