Episode description

We've got a few video's coming out in the next few weeks. Today's guest is definitely an overachiever! Her list of accolades is extensive but features some of the following – 2019 Melbourne Young Entrepreneur of the year, 2020 Telstra Victorian business woman of the year, Forbes 30 under 30…
With business partner Nicole Lamond launched a fair trade, ethical Vitamin tea called Eloments Tea.
The belief that ethical and fair trade is a non-negotiable but in the tea business isn't always adhered to.
Wanting to have impact at the farmer level came to Julie from not actually being among farms, that's where the fascination came from. She personally recognized the disconnect that she had to farming, and wanted to bring thought to the small scale family owned tea gardens that supply tea to businesses all over the world. Seeking to disrupt and improve at various pints within the supply chain, this is a business doing things differently.
