What we do
Good brands travel far to get here.
Take our English Breakfast. It's blended from certified organic teas grown in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and China. Our job is the last leg: getting it to Manila, and onto a shelf near you.
Not to scale. Cats are bad at maps.
On the shelf
From mainstream to artisanal.
Adventurous and innovative, we're ready to take on new food products. We put them on supermarket shelves in the Philippines.
Tap a product. A cat will deal with it.
