Stu Forsyth, Minor Figures, Co-Founder, explains, “We, as Founders, share a love of coffee and a passion for a better planet, so when we started the brand back in 2015 we set out simply to make innovative plant-based products that allow the true flavor profile of the coffee to shine through while remaining focussed on sustainability. It’s been quite the journey from our origins in East London to the global business we are today and this new Tesco listing is a key new win for us here in the UK market as we continue to accelerate the business.”
