Posted by John Campbell on Apr 28, 2016

Our Speaker last week was Peggy Veloudos and her topic was “Tea and how to do business with it.”

Peggy gave us a wonderful insight into how her love of tea transformed into a family successful business – T Bar based here in Adelaide, now with a wide range special imported and brewed teas catering for her many clients here in Adelaide and around Australia.

Peggy spoke of her mothers special formula, based on Amgoorie tea but enriched with favourite garden essences which was the catalyst to her developing her business.

We all received a complimentary T Bar package – want more - visit Peggy’s shop in the Adelaide Market.
