Was the music for the Tetley Red Tea ad created for the ad or was it purchased? It is so beautiful and I would like find this piece as well as the artist’s other work on a CD. I’m sure you’re going to be deluged with requests, it’s a moving piece and I believe the whole ad portrays exactly the feeling that you were were aiming for. Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you so much,
Margaret, Victoria, BC

This is the first time I have seen a commercial that is so captivating to watch. It is so deep and so rich and filled with culture and meaning. Now when I’m drinking my Tetley tea bag I will always remember that commercial.God, it is so original, it’s like watching a piece of travel ad about going to Africa or a musical piece for a movie- then you realized that it is about tea- a reminder that tea can be as enriching as well. Great job on creating the best commercial on t.v ever!

I use several of Tetley’s teas. The Red Tea is a favourite. I am captivated by the music in the commercial. I would like to be able to purchase a cd or something by the same artists.
