Cornish Tea and Cornish Coffee was founded in 2012. Created by Duncan Bond, the concept came to him after a chance conversation with his sister in law who was looking for a local tea supplier and wondered why there was nothing available. Duncan took this idea and ran with it, creating the first box of Cornish Tea just 6 months later. Starting out with just our Smugglers Brew, the iconic orange boxes paved the way for coffee which was added a few years later.
