April 2008 Archives

You'll find us at the Real Food Festival in London's Earls Court between 24th and 27th April.

It's pretty much the ultimate farmers market - over 500 of the world's best small food and drink producers under one roof. So if you want to meet the very people who reared the pigs, planted the carrots, milked the cows, crushed the grapes and of course, packed those tea temples and talk food, come along.

You can get discounted tickets by using the code RFP212 when buying from their website. (You pay 12.50, instead of the standard 15.00, which then goes up to 18.00 on the day.)

Forget your kneeling pad and flowery gloves according to one of our customers, Beth Lightbody, teapigs yerba mate is the latest gardener's friend......

''oh my lordy lord, i was just out in my garden and feeling really rather tired (being an avid weeder has this effect) when i thought i'd make a nice cup of tea. I was looking forward to trying yerba mate as there had been a number of conflicting and mixed reviews amongst many of my tea drinking friends . I was pleasantly surprised and found the smoky flavour very exotic and rustic. I also got a big burst of energy and returned to being Mrs Greenfinger with new zeal and mammoth relish. I shall be recommending yerba mate to everybody''
