The Farm W5 - Ealing Green.
Pop down to the farm w5 and a lovely man ( the farmer ?) will make you nice cup of teapigs white, dragon well green or honey bush & rooibos tea. They are also selling packs of teapigs organic range for you to take away and enjoy in your own farm yard.
Yes. We all need them. And getting feedback like this makes us feel..well...lovely.
Dear Louise the tea taster, I would just like to say how fantastic I think the chocolate flake tea is, I bought some tea at the good food show and to be honest I didn't think it was really going to taste that great, I expected it to have a powdery texture but I love it. It is like a big cuddle and I find that it is very uplifting also. Thank you, Meera.
Thanks to you Meera for your comments - they are great.
We also felt pretty good after watching this - Click twice on the play arrow.
As a new tea company we can hardly be proud of our history - well, we don't actually have one yet. But we do know that tea has played a massive role in the social, economic and political history of Britain. A wonderful documentary, Disappearing Britain shown on C5 this week, reminded us of that.
Whilst we are not planning to dress up as nippy tea waitresses and won't be harking on about bone china and cucumber sandwiches, we do agree with some undeniable truths.
For example the tea tips from 1941 (given in the style of a Mr Chumley-Warner public information bulletin) still hold true today-
1. Always buy quality tea - whole leaf is best
2. Warm the pot
3. When making black tea always use boiling water
4. Take the pot to the kettle, not the kettle to the pot (my kitchen is the size of postage stamp so probably not valid for me!)
5. Perfect tea takes time to brew allow the leaves to unfurl, at least 3 minutes.
That is what we believe in and hope that we can play our own little part in tea's future, just give us (and your tea) a little time.
There we were thinking you were just going to drink it, but it seems that teapigs is the item of choice for your stocking filler this year.
Many of you have told us that you are ordering by the bucket load to fill old socks and pillow cases across the land - considerably more exciting than an old satsuma or a walnut we think.
If you are using us as one of Santa's little helpers, order by the 18th to make sure that Rudolph's Royal Mail reaches you in time.
