The couple are aiming to produce premier, single estate loose-leaf tea.

Ms Williams said: “The needle at the top and the two top leaves are called the premier leaf and are the most soughtafter part. Those will probably be sold overseas and to highend hotels.”

Ms Williams also plans to use the secondary leaf to develop a range of goats’ milk soap infused with Scottish tea.

It is hoped that their picturesque, hillside croft will become part of a “tea trail” with visitors offered a “tea experience” including a tour of the plantation and tea tasting as well as an opportunity to purchase unique beauty products. An area close to the university campus in Dundee has reopened after a “serious incident” saw it sealed off.

Police Scotland had closed part of Old Hawkhill saying it would remain shut throughout Sunday while investigations were carried out. It reopened at 6:30pm.

The road runs past a number of pubs before going on to the campus, passing Heathfield halls of residence and other university premises.
