Our Story
Tipple Tea's Story
Our company story starts when we, Ben and Tom, first met at nursery playing little lambs in the end of term play. A strong and lifelong bond grew from that humiliation, through school to 18 year olds socialising in bars, restaurants and our local pub, The Railway. Sharing a tipple, meeting new people and enjoying laughter with family and friends.
Then the Covid lockdown in 2020 changed all that and as socialising was restricted, we saw the true value of ready-to-drink canned alcohol. We have always loved alcoholic iced tea, which we first tasted in the USA where there is a healthy, established market.
However, in the UK we could not buy any. We searched websites, shops or even trying to import it but much to our dismay, we simply found no option to buy.
A few years on and our lives have shifted to sharing a London flat with corporate jobs in the “Big City”. Ben’s sister had just returned from New York and had kindly brought back with her 12 cans of Alcoholic Iced Tea. As we sat there and shared our precious cans, this is the moment we saw our future. Exclusively supplying a drink we are passionate about to the UK, so that you can share the love of alcoholic ice tea without the struggle we endured.
