Our story begins with the four of us – Jamie and Stephen (son and father), along with wives Simone and Theresa. We’ve always had a knack for the artistic and creative, each bringing our own talents, skills and unique perspectives to the drawing board. Call us a family business, or simply a bunch of committed foodies who love getting stuck into a new project together. As most good things do, the twiice story began unexpectedly, brewed up during one hot summer’s day at the beach. An edible coffee cup, but not one that tastes like seaweed or rice - a really tasty edible coffee cup. To tell you the truth, we came home and completely forgot about it. But a few weeks later, Jamie decided we should give it a shot. We started trialling recipes straight away with standard muffin tins and it wasn’t long before we upgraded to commercial baking equipment. Finally, after years of trial and error, we had a product ready for launch – the twiice cup! The twiice cup is the perfect choice for your morning beverage or late-night dessert. It’s no waste and no dishes. It’s better living and better dining. We’re proud to be part of pioneering a new way forward for the environmentally-friendly cup and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
