Tiree Tea

Taste the islands in a cup

About us

Tiree Tea is owned by Rhoda Meek (Tiree) and Rebecca Hutton (Harris). We have known each other for 24 years. Frankly terrifying.

Rhoda

If you are so inclined, I (Rhoda) am on linkedIn. I am permanently based in the Isle of Tiree. I live in the house my Great-great-grandfather built.

Helpers include my over-enthusiastic and energetic dog Wisp. As well as a plethora of cats, hens and sheep and cows. They all offer different qualities, including practical assistance, humorous distraction, good company and inspiration!

My favourite tea is Tilley. When I am not staring at a screen or chasing an escaped animal, I like to take photos, play minecraft and crochet.

I enjoy the relentless misery of having a Twitter account – so you can find me here – @wodieskodie

Becca

The other half of Tiree Tea is Rebecca Hutton.

Becca is a traditional independent Harris Tweed Weaver running her own business, Taobh Tuath Tweeds. When she is not extolling the virtues of a good cup of tea you will find her in the shed hitting a recalcitrant loom with a hammer.

Becca is owned by two cats, Bobbin and Pirn, and has a truly extensive Coca-cola collection.

Her favourite tea is the Hearach. So it should be, as a good Hearach herself!


We are both native Gaelic speakers and are passionate about keeping our resident island communities alive and thriving.

Alongside Tiree Tea, we also run Isle Develop CIC, a Social Enterprise developing digital projects with Scottish islanders at their heart.

Our current projects are:

You can follow along on the blog. Then head back to the main site and buy tea online!

As if that wasn’t enough, there is also The Angry Triangle – where you can buy knitting yarn from the Tiree Tea croft!
