A new meaning to the phrase Green Tea
What do you get when you put 2 crazy dames in a caravan and send them around the Overberg to serve amazing tea and promote eco-friendly ventures? The #GonzoTeaTrek of course!

Jessica (Lady Bonin Tea) and Thaya (Love Overberg) will be traversing the Overberg with the Lady Bonin gypsy Tea Caravan, for the #GonzoTeaTrek campaign, from 2-8 July, 2014. This is the first official campaign to promote tourism in the Overberg, conceptualised by the new Social Media agency, The Wanderlust Club, for ON! - an Overberg business network launching on the 2nd of July.

Jessica and Thaya will be highlighting ethical, conscious and ''green'' businesses, movements, projects and more, while travelling through the Overberg for a week (between spontaneously opening the Tea Caravan in little towns and serving tea, like a mobile Mad Hatter''s tea party!). Keep an eye out for ''tea pairings'', yoga in weird and wonderful places, raw food and even vegan wines!

Jessica started Lady Bonin''s Tea Parlour in a vintage caravan in 2010, which was South Africa''s first ''food truck''. She dreamt of creating a living from her greatest passion and personally sourced tea from all over the world, creating her own infusions and selling tea at festivals and markets from her beautiful caravan. She has established herself as a well-loved tea purveyor, owns a gorgeous tea parlour at The Woodstock Exchange, and supplies hotels around the country.

Thaya is a Copywriter, Social Media Strategist and Travel Writer who founded Love Overberg in early 2013. She is celebrating the establishment of The Wanderlust Club (a Social Media agency based in the Overberg) and the launch of ON! - a collaboration of Love Overberg and overberginfo.com into a networking platform specific to the Overberg - with this magical #GonzoTeaTrek campaign.
