Tea Monkeys, a new “tea café†with plans to expand nationally and rival Costa and Starbucks, has opened its first venue in Milton Keynes.
The brainchild of entrepreneur Tracey Bovingdon, Tea Monkeys is an eco-friendly, modern café concept with a tea-focused food and beverage offer.
Its first site in Midsummer Place in Milton Keynes offers 40 varieties of loose leaf and bagged tea – for which staff are intensively trained by UK Tea Council consultant Jane Pettigrew – for as little as £1.80 per pot.
It also serves fresh coffee plus an extensive menu including breakfast, lunch and snacking items such as toast, bagels, crumpets, wraps, sandwiches and cupcakes.
