正文(英文) | Cornish tea company Tregothnan has secured new orders totalling £145,000 thanks to a government networking event at Number 10, bolstering its export pipeline. ![]() As the first-ever English tea company to have created a range of black, green and herbal tea homegrown on British soil, it has secured new orders in the US and in Kazakhstan worth £95,000 and £50,000 respectively. Truro-based Tregothnan’s US order has come from a leading hospitality business, increasing its sales to the country by 32% since it started exporting there in 2010. As part of the Kazakhstan deal, which the business secured with a leading distributor, the company was tasked with creating a bespoke English tea. Tregothnan pioneered a botanical first by nurturing rare plants, shrubs and Camellia Sinensis (tea plants) within its UK grounds’ unique warm and wet micro-climate. The conditions have enabled the tea plants to thrive, enabling the business to grow and produce the most ‘British’ tea in history. The business secured the orders after attending an event at Number 10 in May, hosted by the Department for International Trade (DIT) and the Food is GREAT campaign. At the event, Tregothnan had the opportunity to meet representatives from the US Embassy and the former Ambassador for Kazakhstan. Jonathon Jones, Managing Director of Trading at Tregothnan, said:
Paul Shand, DIT’s Head of Trade in the South West, said:
In recognition of its export success, Tregothnan was selected to be an Export Champion in March by DIT, joining the nationwide Export Champion Community which comprises businesses acting as ambassadors for overseas trade and offering practical advice and tips to other companies. Since becoming an Export Champion, Tregothnan has been involved in a variety of trade profiling activities, most recently supplying tea samples during a trade mission to the US and attending the International Trade Summer School where the company shared its exporting experiences with students. Food and drink producers like Tregothnan are being supported on their export journey as part of the Food is GREAT campaign, a cross-departmental initiative between the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and DIT to help more food and drink businesses export. Businesses looking for support should contact 01275 370 944 or email DITsw@mobile.trade.gov.uk. They can also visit great.gov.uk which has a wide range of live export opportunities currently listed and includes general information on exporting and events.
