What Mini Me thinks

Teapins farmer’s tea is a perfect example of a provenance-based produce. This concept not only supports local farmers by skipping the middlemen but also justifies the tea premium positioning. Consumers also get to know about the farmers behind the tea, which adds to the product’s appeal, making it ideal as a gift.
