068 JusTea is Changing The Way We Drink Tea - The Story Behind The Brand
A conversation with the team behind JusTea (Paul Bain & Russ)
Today on the show I am chatting with Paul & Russ from the company JusTea.
JusTea is a fair-trade tea partnership with small-scale Kenyan farmers, who are on a mission to connect tea drinkers to the farmer who made their cup of tea possible. They are all about creating sustainable employment on the ground and providing customers with access to healthy new Purple Tea!
So what is purple tea you ask?
It grows naturally in Kenya from Purple Tea leaves (similar to other purple superfoods: blueberries/acai) . Purple Tea has more antioxidants than green tea (hello anthocyanins!) and half the caffeine of green tea.
JusTea has already won BC’s “Product of the Year” last year for Purple Tea and I have no doubt that with leadership from today’s guest, Paul & Russ.. they are on track to win more and more awards in years to come.

Where the idea for JusTea came from & how it began to evolve into a business plan
