The passion for tea that drives our tea master, B.W. Cooper, is as vibrant today as it was in 1965 when he became a tea trainee in London! Nearly six decades later, he is still strong at the helm, tasting teas and developing products with his sons and team working alongside him. Cooper’s virtue for authenticity fuels his unbridled drive for innovation, and he envisioned the role of sustainability, natural products, and the emerging organic world early on. Our tea guru brought those principles to fruition with the artisanal, hand-crafted, mighty-tasting teas that we know and sip on today.

Silver Spoons, Mad Baboons, and Other Tales of Tea is a memoir from International Tea Master Barry W. Cooper. Barry was raised in the heart of Kenya and spent his childhood playing in the wilds of Africa. The experience instilled a love for adventure that is still strong today. These chronicles walk readers through Barry’s eventful life and the learning he garnered from his illustrious career in tea.
