TEA, COCKTAILS & CONVERSATIONS WITH JULES SEBASTIAN
On Friday 9th April, we were so proud to be working in partnership with The Berry Tea Shop to present Jules Sebastian and her new book "Tea & Honesty" at an exclusive in-store event. A curated experience that included 'spiked tea's and high tea's' crafted by Mills + Franks, a Q&A with Jules hosted by The Berry Tea Shop's owner Paulina and a signed copy of Jules' book.
Combining some of our favourite South Coast local producers including “The Berry Tea Shop” and female distiller “Tara Distillery”, a G&Tea concept was brought to life for 80 of Jules fans. Missed out on the event? See below a recipe designed for you to make at home, perfect for one or a group of you.
