His new partnerships include Algonquin Tea Company and Northern Delights (Délice Boréal) herbal tea, a Nunavik Inuit company that is part of the Avataq Cultural Institute representing Nunavik harvesters.

In this age of K-cups and one-touch automatic tea makers, Krul is on a mission to bring a fresh new meaning to one of life’s simple pleasures and to nurture a synergy between the drinker and the harvester. He says that we stand to learn a thing or two while drinking tea - one of our most essential daily rituals - when we share the time with others.
