Two decades ago, tea production moved from Porlock to a purpose-built factory in Minehead where millions of teabags are produced every month while coffee is produced in Porlock.
Mr Liddell-Grainger was invited to morning coffee and to launch something hot off the roaster – a new range of Miles coffee packaging.
A full tour of the tea production line in Minehead and coffee production in Porlock followed.
