What is the difference between loose leaf & tea bags?
What is loose leaf tea? Loose leaf are large loose tea leaves that are stored usually in a tea tin and then served in one of our tea infusers. You can choose how little or how much tea you would like in your drink. What are Fuso tea bags? Fuso tea bags are triangular type tea bags. The triangular or pyramid shape improves the liquidity of the tea leaves when they come in contact with hot water and allow for prompt extraction, which means stronger tastier tea! A benefit of our fuso tea bags is that they are biodegradable, which means they are capable of being decomposed by the action of biological agents, especially bacteria. Material that,…

A Kettle Shed tea themed wedding
We love a good wedding, especially one with a theme. So, when Kate and Laura got in touch to say they were having an “Afternoon tea” theme using The Kettle Shed tea, we were delighted and promptly put the kettle on to celebrate! Marrying at Ladore Falls Hotel in the Lake District, Kate and Laura treated their guests to an afternoon tea in the Garden Suite. Each table was named after a different Kettle Shed tea, with a beautiful bag of loose leaf tea as wedding favours for the guests. Laura had even hand written descriptions of the teas for every guest. What a wonderful touch! We were over the…

Vote GREEN! (not the party MATCHA of course!)
Matcha – the revolution. Forget about the politics, vote for Matcha! The Matcha revolution is just around the corner! Gone are the days of coffee jitters! We have all been there right? It gets to mid-morning and you start to hit ‘the wall’, so you have a coffee to try and replenish and kick your energy levels up a bit, straight away you feel that amazing rush of energy that then unfortunately as The Guardian says “it sends you to the moon, jittery and anxious, with your heart skittering?”you then severely crash and burn on average 5-10 minutes after you had that coffee and then are even more drowsy than…

Why Give A Cup?
“We Give A Cup” – It’s on our packets, but what does it actually mean? Helping the Homeless Here’s the short version: every time you buy a box of tea infusers, we donate tea directly to homeless shelters across the UK, so you buy a brew for someone. With the rising concerns (BBC 4 February 2015) about quietly increasing homelessness and poverty in the UK, we tried to find a way to help out. And since people forced to sleep rough or in shelters are probably the most in need of a really good cuppa, we thought we should donate the thing we do best! Tea is full of antioxidants…
