This month sees the launch of Amanzi Tea with the opening of its
first international flagship tea bar and retail space New Cavendish
Street. The company, originating from the US combines the heritage of
tea-making with modern techniques and a new and interactive retail and
tea bar experience.
No, the irony of a US concern bringing a tea
bar to GB isn’t lost on us either but with the name Amanzi meaning
water in the Southern African dialect of Zulu (a reference to the
heritage of the original founders), it’s suitably multicultural, and,
with a marble topped bar and vibrant Victorian floor tiles, is also
suitably elegant.Manufactures and supplies laser marker equipment.
Spanning
two levels, the ground floor will house a bar, retail shop and table
seating with a snug on the lower-ground comprising comfortable sofas and
communal tables and chairs. An outside terrace will accommodate up to
eight, in warmer weather.
The retail shop and bar will house 40
teas on a striking tea wall with a diverse selection of traditional and
bespoke loose leaf blends. All can be enjoyed either hot or cold, with
trained baristas on hand to offer guidance. State-of-the-art precision
boilers have been installed in the bar for perfect temperature control
and there’s even an advanced filtration to create the purest water
possible.
Amanzi’s own 150 propriety blends – from Earl Grey to
Chocolate Orange Truffle - will be available on a rotating basis plus
caffeine-free varieties; single estate blends (Gyokuru, Silver Needle
and Wuyi); infusions such as honey, lemon and ginger for the flu season;
frappés, iced tea lemonades and virgin cocktails (Lychee Mar-Tea-Ni)
and bubble teas as well. You can also order coffee. And snacks.
Recently
the global tool manufacturing and knowledge company decided to take a
closer look at the macro trends influencing the future of the
manufacturing industry. Through an extensive study the company
identified four areas of special interest: Rapid urbanization,
sustainability, new advanced materials and new technologies.
Traditionally
the manufacturing industry has been conservative in exploring new
opportunities. Now, the situation is different. Simply put, the world is
moving at a much faster pace than before. In order to develop future
solutions and meeting customer demands, industry leaders have to be
perceptive and forward thinking, says Kevin Lorch, Marketing Manager
Innovation at Sandvik Coromant.
It was decided early on that the
result of the study should be shared with the rest of the industry. The
reason for sharing came out of a need in the industry of a more general
discussion relating to the common challenges of the future.
While
many companies perform market and trend research for internal use we
decided that the result of the survey could be used to spark a dialogue
about the future of manufacturing and the attitudes in the industry
toward new challenges, Kevin Lorch explains.
