Today on the podcast I'm talking to Tas from Very Craftea. Tas exists to help all people create moments, to feel comforted and included by creating the best products accessible to everyone without compromise. Tas sells two separate product lines in her business, organic teas and craft kits, hence Very Craftea.
We spoke about Tas’s inspiration for setting up her business, building relationships with suppliers and the importance of having a good spreadsheet so that you know your numbers.

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate.
They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
