Welcome to the TDF History



- Once apon a time..

The first ever talk of TDF was late 2007.. it was a sunny saturday morning on our way to a bootsale to sell some old stock from work..

While packing everything into the back of the van we noticed a dead fly, just laying there.. peacefully.. we stuck it on some brown packing tape and claimed we could sell it!

Unfortunately - we left the fly in storage.. so it didn't sell

But that wasn't it.. Soon after the bootsale, the following week infact, we noticed the fly was gone!!

Well.. not completely, the legs were still attached to the tape.. which means it must of brought itself back to life and broke free..

This went on for a little while.. general chitchat about starting products based on a dead fly.. fly on a stick, fly smoked to death.. you know, the usual.. until one day we decided we'd give it a proper go!

Joey and Eifion - Co Founders designed the original logo, the 4 designs were drawn (avaliable to view in the gallery) and we decided on the final logo of the company.. Dan (myself) scanned the logo in and coloured it.

We then decided it was time to get some mugs, and T-shirts produced.. and that's how we got here!

We almost forgot.. Number Two, AKA Mel, Joey's slave and the universal tea-maker of TDF.. without her, we'd never get our teas.. the designs and ideas you see before you.. thats right, infact the TDF Starter Pack itself was her idea!
