A little bit about us...

We are a tea and coffee merchants based in West Somerset. Split between two sites we taste, buy, blend and pack our own brand of tea, 'Miles Tea', in Minehead. Our coffee is roasted, ground and packed in Porlock. Plus, we've got a factory shop at The Vale Yard in Porlock. We are a family run business with a passion for quality and service.

About the elephant...
When Derek Miles first had his packets printed in the 1960's, the rep from Dobson and Crowther went to see him and, having decided on the wording on the packet, asked Derek if he would like a logo. Thinking this would be a good idea Derek said 'Yes' and the rep produced a book of available images (what we might call Clipart today). When Derek came across the image of an elephant he said he would like that, and so started our elephant association.
