Tregothnan on the Box

9th August 2012

This past week has seen lots of filming at Tregothnan.

On Monday, Bloomberg News met the Honourable Evelyn Boscawen to chat about our exciting export projects in China, Japan and Europe.

We also met Nicki Chapman who is visiting Cornwall for her ‘Escape to the Country’ series. She strolled through the gardens to visit our unique Wardian Case and enjoyed a cream tea (complete with Tregothnan tea and Kea plum jam!) in the picturesque summerhouse.

On Tuesday, we were featured on ITV Westcountry News about our bumper tea crop, and CCTV (Chinese TV) followed the journey of tea from bush to cup with our director Jonathon.

BBC World Service visited us in London last week at the Tea Board of India event at The Southbank Centre, as well as filming on the estate yesterday for Bezhad Bolour’s exciting documentary all about tea.

And today, Lynda Bellingham has been at Tregothnan for her new series 'My Tasty Travels.' Arriving at the estate in a beautiful vintage VW van, she plucked tea in the Himalayan Valley, blended her own 'Bellingham's Brew,' and created a delicious edible bouquet.

We look forward to watching it all on TV soon!
