Walking through Newtown one afternoon in 2006, Ross Patch came across a tea shop offering such a vast selection that it caused him to pause and enter. A lover of quality tea and coffee, he realised he had discovered something special. Ross saw an opportunity, creating a unique space in Armidale for people like him. A place for people who would appreciate something a little better close to home. Where the people of Armidale could indulge themselves and rediscover their love for tea and coffee.
