If tea companies and consumers really want to be eco-friendly, there is a very easy way to do it and it existed long before teabags on string. Buy it loose in a can with a reusable lid and use a teapot and tea strainer. These kinds of 'lifestyle' products I do not find in the slightest bit appealing and if Deborah Meaden was really that eco-friendly, she would call out this kind of business and declare herself out from the outset. Think about it, why on earth do you need to have a selection of teabags packed in a fancy, unnecessary box, probably put inside another box for delivery to your door. This may be targetting millennials but the millennials would be far better off making a lifestyle choice of buying things like tea from their local high street/village shop and supporting the local economy and small retailers.
That's how my parents used to do it and it tastes so much better. This is why I rarely drink tea, all these teabags taste like red, pink, green, purple water.
BenjaminGoose is apparently coming up with his own tea product, he's calling it "PG Tips". It's a bag of tea that you can dip on water to make tea without the bits. He claims that he came up with the idea in 1895 and anyone else copied him
There is a reason Evan Davis stays on the ground floor of the Den and why they installed a lift and got rid of the stairs. It's for the Dragons' peace of mind and security. In the past it was far easier for Evan to disrupt a pitch by tearing quickly up the stairs, at least now when a pitch is in process and they hear the lift moving they have time to prepare themselves and warn the entrepreneurs to find a safe space.
Peter: do you know anything about me? Dmitry: do elaborate please Peter: well I own Jessops. And if Jessops wasn't selling what we're selling, we would be selling tea. How does that sound? 😅😅😅
Yes.. and of course we are all sending a packaging to the producer by RM special delivery after we've used the product so that they could kindly recycle it for us! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Unfortunately, a quick search on companies house, shows this company is no longer trading and has debtors of over £3 million. Obviously, Peter never ended up investing, and Touker was once again spot on.....
@@crypticcomputing604 what? the deal was actually signed after the show. At least that's what's listed on a wikipedia article that follows whether the successful pitches end up getting signed or not.
The way, the only way, to reduce waste and live an ecologically sympathetic life is NOT to buy things you don't need. Don't buy clothes, cars, food, or anything you don't actually need. Wanting is not needing. Faux ecological credentials make me sick.
I love Peter says they're all gutted cause they lost even though they all backed out aaaages ago without even making an offer so clearly they didn't want it haha
Isn't this just Bird and Blend, but boring? High quality teas ✔ Tea subscription that fit into the mail box ✔ Sustainable ingredients and packaging ✔ Fun and exciting flavors ❌
There was so much wrong with this pitch: horrible valuation, huge debt, poorly executed promises of sustainability...... and it still got an investment 🙈
That was a bad deal by Peter at the last minute, willing to drop his equity to 7.5% for a measly 70K, of what could be potentially a multimillion pound company. why did he do that?!
Barbara just conference called to state that this is potentially a fabulous investment and that she really believes in the individuals and that she can turn this into a $10 billion company.....and therefore she's out.....
Aggressive businesses backed by financial pockets are hungry vultures devouring market share via market capitalization. dont understand dragons anger on net losses in initial rounds, because new businesses nos 1 goal is not profit but market seizure/turnover. Peter taking 7.5% @ 70K is valuing business at less than a million pound. Good deal for something that's already raised money at 6 million value.
Peter not only gave them a bone, but when the pair negotiated for 2 bones, he gave them 2 bones with ridiculously large quantities of meat on it. Peter could have asked for 20% for 70k and they would have had to agree, leave alone 10%. The 2.5% equity return on repayment was very generous indeed.
Why does Peter Jones wear that badge on his suit and have a branch in his pocket? Seems a bit cult like. Why has nobody picked up on this before? or to the coments get removed?
If you ever pass the warehouse building when Dragons' Den isn't on the air, you will sometimes hear the odd cry or see an appearance from Evan Davis pacing about the premises trying to come up with new puns for the next series. If he sees you, walk away.
No amount of caffeine in that tea will get Touker out of bed for 1.5%

Absolutely. Maybe then whoever writes the titles now would not be able to spoil the whole bloody episode.
Toulker doesnt get out of bed for less than 45%
@dj Billy E, I made a top ten facts on the dragons den. Average equity is 40% so touker goes the extra mile haha

The company paused trading in 2023 to decrease costs with debts over £3m. They are overdue for their latest financial statement.
For once Peter's offer was not greedy - i hope they do well
His offer was over 6.5 times more than they wanted but it seems reasonable since it's just 10%!
Finally they invented Tea.... Soon i hope they will invent the wheel.
One of the most consistent dragon is Peter.
Peter clearly thought this is a gold nugget, he can hardly cover up his excitement, and roasting the others like he won a board game
When they say we are on a mission, time to say I'm out 😂
"To be bought out by a larger company, in about 7-10 heads from now"
"How many"?
"7-10 years"
"I will be in a wheelchair by then"
😭😭😭😭

Pretty sure every packaging can be technically recycled in the council bins.
something tells me, this deal did not happen. Cant say for sure, but this aired in April 2021, and they Twitter dies in October 2021.
That company is worth $2 billion now Peter was right
Thats was some wholesome negotiations.

Dmitry: Heard a few stories.
Peter: Have they been good stories?
Dmitry: ......Sure. Why not.
Lol
Peter: do you know anything about me?
Dmitry: do elaborate please
Peter: well I own Jessops. And if Jessops wasn't selling what we're selling, we would be selling tea. How does that sound?
😅😅😅
I can see it so clearly now. Social distancing made us all look utterly ridiculous.
Can someone tell me what is so special about the tea? It's basically a copy of Twinings.
This is what sets Peter Jones apart, of course all the other Dragons were utterly gutted.
They were dumbfounded at first, and it seems they were right to be
I’d of ordered but their website is down.
2:28 and touker is the first to be peed off.
He's getting old and grumpy.
0:10
Red light!!!
That relief at 10:43
To think we are all ordering tea from the internet these days, so obvious...said nobody ever.
Yes.. and of course we are all sending a packaging to the producer by RM special delivery after we've used the product so that they could kindly recycle it for us!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
A billion pound tea company??
Now i heard it all 😂😂😂
Touker foreseeing himself in a wheelchair! 😢😮
...And he wouldn't get out of it for 1.5%.
A couple of diluted tea leafs😂
That was fantastic
They are doing really well
In this arena £70,000 is peanuts!! Don’t get it why the other’s didn’t jump in??? 😅😅 Now the company is worth something!!
no its not. They are not even trading on their site. Their socials are totally dead.
Wish more of the negotiations were like this. It’s the only think Shark Tank does better is the flexibility of the deals.
What business are they offering?
Tea for.. Millennials..
What's that?
What business was Peter talking about when he said it was loosing 400k / month, and its now worth 1 billion??
Probably some tech start-up that will go bust one way or another
Uber probably
Nice
I wonder if any of these things fail after these guys invest
dissolved 2020, these kind of companies is whats wrong with the financial world, all sounds a bit dodgy
I wouldn't buy the product for the simple reason that the tea bag itself is made of plastic.
Wow Pete 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Nice to tea guys!!!

Sustainable ingredients and packaging ✔

Poor negotiating tactics. Peter said he will make the company 1billion. Tell him 5% of that is worth a lot more than his 70k.
There was so much wrong with this pitch: horrible valuation, huge debt, poorly executed promises of sustainability...... and it still got an investment 🙈
They put a valuation on tea at 5 million while they have alot of debt and are losing money 🤣 Damn
That was a good tactic to get the % down
Why they don't stand up and shake hands?!!!
This was filmed during COVID.
Jenny: selling a 2009 Cheryl Cole calender that has unique value because it contains my signature NOT Cheryl Coles!
That has to be the lowest offered equity percentage I've come across on this show. One and a half percent??
does sara ever invest ??

That was a bad deal by Peter at the last minute, willing to drop his equity to 7.5% for a measly 70K, of what could be potentially a multimillion pound company. why did he do that?!
Yeah he should have added the 30,000 pocket change for him
it's nice to see he is not totally greedy.
I think it was for a measly $30k.

Have to do a deep dive on this company, top notch work!
Top notch at losing 1.2 M 😂
Allegedly their company is now worth $10 Million.
I like hairy ponies now
I value it at $0, so you're wrong.
No, the company mentioned in this video, valued the company at $10 million before this was shot.
Aggressive businesses backed by financial pockets are hungry vultures devouring market share via market capitalization. dont understand dragons anger on net losses in initial rounds, because new businesses nos 1 goal is not profit but market seizure/turnover.

the company still exists so thats gotta count for something
Poor Tooky, got less than five years to live
Think at this point Peters just got too much money he’s lost it
SO TRUE
Maybe you should check your facts. This company stopped trading and closed with big debts in 2023
"my little daughter" did TOOKER become a DA at 70?
Nope, I refuse to buy online & subscribe to a business like that. If I'm getting tea it's at a store or tea shop.
Now they're only 3 mil in debt. Well done. (/s)
cant value a startup at 5 million just ridiculous but peter is 9/10 always right
Tea… rrific….. ☝️😳☕️
Why would you make a product that only targets a specific generation, so weird
Nope... definitely a Yorkshire tea man....
does everyone just get an offer these days?
he could of asked for 20% the way they are loosing money every month
Imagine being named after a machine gun
