Sounds like an interesting venture, Dan. I know nothing about herbal teas or their market in the UK but wondered if you've garnered feedback on your blends from friends and family in the first instance?
I'd park the idea of production facilities until you have a following of sorts and a steady stream of orders coming in. At this stage, I'd probably focus on market research, impartial product feedback from friends and family, perhaps having a general chat with the Outdoor Provisions guys to ask how they went about establishing themselves as a small brand in the outdoor space, and setting up a website and social media presence if the research and feedback stacks up over time. All of that can be done for free, or with very little.
There are also registration requirements depending on whether you're planning to market the teas as herbal medicine in the UK, but that's not immediately relevant.
