the atelier are immersed in a world of artisanal tea crafting, from the scent of herbs being blended to the historical ambience of its surroundings. “Gravraak Teatelier technically started at Farm Gravraak in 2018, where I was growing herbs, flowers and berries,” says master tea blender Charlotte Scheffer. “Trøndelag is a large culinary region, with plenty of farms that produce a range of artisanal food and drink, such as coffee and chocolate. I wanted to see how I could take my own interests and contribute to the region, which is when I discovered that there’s a huge gap in the Norwegian market for good tea. This was perfect for me, and so Gravraak Teatelier was born.”
