Mum and I had a fantastic weekend at the Hampton Court Foodies Festival, despite the wind and the rain on Saturday. It was inspiring to see the turn out for the various tastings, talks and treats. We had our stall in the Farmers Market which was buzzing with activity:
People are really starting to catch on that tea is a varied and seasonal product. And sales reflected an interest in the whole range, not just the familiar standards.
We also had a chance to meet some other small companies that are making a mark on the food scene. I was interested to see Rossmore Oysters where it was hard to resist the smell of the sea, the lemons and tabasco!
Then I spent some time getting familiar with Compass Box Whisky (!) whose fresh and contemporary approach to blending really distinguishes them in the market.
We got home tired but satisfied and excited about the next Foodies Festival, Edinburgh in August.
