UK entrepreneur has big plans for her tea startup
A young entrepreneur, who graduated from the university just a couple of years ago, is celebrating the opening of her tea company's first in-store concession. The Teashed, a design-led tea, teaware and homeware company based in the UK, was set up after Jules Quinn graduated with a degree in fashion marketing in 2011. The project was developed with the help of her university's graduate enterprise program. Since then, the Teashed established a presence online and its products are already stocked in several department stores across the country. Now, the company is getting ready to open its first pop-up stand in a large department store in northern England. After that, the company plans to launch a chain of pop-up shops and has its sights on becoming the leading specialty tea retailer in the UK.
