Who we are
Tea & Grazing is a travelling tea room that offers a unique and eclectic experience for enjoying tea.
During the warm season, we roam the south coast of England, setting up at fairs and markets. Stop by for a relaxing break and enjoy our delicious drinks and nibbles, or take away a selection to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
When the weather turns colder, our Tea Tastings – at your place or ours – are the perfect way to unwind with an exotic brew and a presentation that is both unique and exciting.
The founder of Tea & Grazing Ltd, Kim Jack-Riley, is a Certified Tea Sommelier. Born and raised in London, Kim began travelling abroad at an early age beginning with family trips to the Caribbean. “My Dad was from Trinidad & Tobago, where I quickly learned that to refuse refreshments from your host was an insult, so food and drinks were a big part of the visits,” says Riley. “At home in North London, we lived across the street from a Tea Shop and I used to help out after school in the café.”
Riley‘s love of tea was diverted when she moved with her parents to New York where the coffee culture ruled. But travelling and the ‘Tea Shop’ were so ingrained in her subconscious that she established a career in the Travel & Hospitality industry with a master mission.
“It was during a business trip to Bali that my passion for Tea came back to life,” Riley recounts. I was struck by the stunning beauty of the Tea fields, and I was deeply affected by the stories of the tea pickers and how much love goes into the creation of a cup of tea long before it reaches your table.”
“Becoming a Certified Sommelier changed my life,” says North Londoner, Riley. “I gained the knowledge to backup my natural interest in Tea …but I also knew from the start that I wanted to do something different to Victorian Tea Parties.”
After living in New York for many years, Riley’s first goal as an entrepreneur was to open a Tea Room. But when she moved back to the UK in 2019, the Coronavirus was making its way across the globe and like many small business owners a swift revision of the business model had to be made.
“With my family in tow, we selected Brighton to settle because of its progressive and eclectic culture. Due to COVID, the plan to open a bricks and mortar business seemed impossible, yet I still wanted to find a way to serve the community and find a path forward.
During ‘Lockdown,’ I was struck with the idea to seize the opportunity and make the Tea Room mobile with seating al fresco.
When I finally sat down to design a menu, the places I have lived or travelled to came top of mind. My drinks reflect the ingredients and tastes that are part of my heritage and are inspired by my life experiences.
Our teas are meticulously selected for healing and spiritual comfort, and the sandwiches and desserts are crafted from simple indulgences that my family seem to thoroughly enjoy.”
