SPICERS, the tea specialists in Wimborne, has launched a black tea to celebrate its 75 years of trading.

Black tea is generally stronger in flavour and contains more caffeine than other varieties and currently accounts for 78 per cent of the UK’s annual £552m tea market.

Alistair Lee, sales and marketing manager, said that the company was looking to capitalise in this area and believes that “consumers want to see more locally produced goods on their shelves”.

The company was established in 1934 when Keith Spicer started blending tea in his Bournemouth home and supplying local shops.

In 1992 it was acquired by Laurens Spethmann Holdings of Hamburg, one of Europe’s largest tea packing operations. Spicers is a founder member of the Ethical Tea Partnership and a partner of the Dorset Wildlife Trust
