Notwithstanding it's alien like appearance, this adaptation of jelly and cream served at our local Japanese restaurant in Ealing was actually quite tasty. They do a nice line in green tea ice cream too.
Yum yum

Here at teapigs we think that tea and wine are... err... quite similar. Both of these fabulous beverages involve much selecting, tasting, and flowery language - not to mention the odd spitoon (!) So it was all in the name of work that I, "teapig number 5", came across this great wine tasting company last week - called ThirtyFifty .
For a completely friendly, unpretentious, and cleverly informative evening of wine sipping (or guzzling?!) book yourself in on one of their events...and find out why they're called ThirtyFifty. Enjoy!
ps - they even do chocolate and wine-tasting hen parties - how scrumptiously sophisticated!

Again there is no end to the wonders of tea!
We've always said that our area of expertise is tea. So when things don't work quite as we want them to with our office IT our first point of call (after we've done the obvious switching off and on remedy) is always the Geek Squad. We like their name, their lovely uniforms, the fact they're all called Agent something or other, their Smart cars but most of all we like the fact that in no time at all we can be back in cyberspace and checking out the latest deals on ASOS. Thanks Geeks.
Agent Tahid to the rescue
We're all suckers for those "coals to Newcastle" stories. Well here's one of ours. Yesterday we had a special visitor to teapigs. Rae from China, had the good fortune of drinking a teapigs tea whilst visiting in London.So impressed was she that she contacted us with an urgent request to buy some before her imminent return to Beijing. She came straight to our offices and scooped up 18 boxes to pack away in her suitcase. Here she is proudly displaying our nation's favourite English Breakfast. Thanks Rae and we hope the first thing you do on your return is to put on the kettle for a great English cuppa.
Rae with her English Breakfast
Nick, his brand new wellies and I went to Cassons farm in hampshire to see sage and peppermint growing.
Cassons have been growing herbs on their farm for 3 generations. The youngest Casson, Charlotte, now has her own herb dressing company - her watercress sauce is amazing!
The sage harvest was in full flow.... here is charlotte holding a fist full of sage ready for drying.
Sage tea was on trial today, should it be drunk with hot water or should it be in a sausage?
It is another few months before the peppermint harvest but the first minty fresh leaves are just peaking through.
