We're very chuffed because there was a nice big page on tea in the Independent yesterday and they rated teapigs popcorn tea the best buy in their "The Ten Best - Herbal Teas" feature... yipee! We think they have very good - and rather adventurous - taste...

This is my clever friend emma who does our 'colouring in' and the man who looks after her cats, dan, drinking liquorice and mint. If that sentence isn't strange enough dan tells me he is allergic to liquorice normally....

Many of you are asking when the much loved teapigs teapot will be back in stock. The good news is it is on its way after a few little hiccups the pot will be back in stock in 38 days... fingers crossed.

We have changed the design a little here is a sneaky peek at the new version....

remember this fab bundle of goodies from our pamper and detox competition? the 3 goodie boxes our now on their way to our lucky lucky winners...

Congratulations and enjoy (!)

The results are in. Thanks to all of you who took part in our taste challenge at The Real Food Festival. Just over 85% of you preferred sample A, which just happened to be teapigs. Which just goes to show that our advice to Drink Real Tea because it tastes better is pretty sound. But we guess you know that already. So we're busy carrying on our mission to preach to the non-converted. Hope you can help.

our ultra smart ballot box

forgive the title but this really is a match made in heaven - chocolate and matcha. The super power green stuff is all the rage amongst master chocolatiers in Paris and Tokyo for their designer parties - we knew we were on to something good.

And here's the scrummy recipe for you. Couldn't you just tuck in to those right now? Let us know if you give this a go:

Thanks to all of you who visited us at the recent Real Food Festival at Earls Court. Good to see you and we that hope you got the message. Drink Real Tea. Why? Obvious, it tastes better. But we think you already know that. Next up for us is the Spirit of Summer show at Olympia between 14th and 17th May. Maybe see you there?

roll up, roll up

We're going to be at the Real Food Festival this weekend. We think it's one of the most enjoyable shows to visit 'cause it's really bustly with a farmers market feel to it.

As part of our real tea mission, we'll be putting on a brand new real tea taste challenge at the show - we'll be asking you to blind test a teapigs real leaf cuppa against a normal paper bag cuppa (oh the pressure!).

We'll ask you to vote for your favorite and the results will be published on the blog next week... do you know your real tea from your dust?!

Oh and we're very excited 'cause we got a new banner and t-shirts printed especially for it - here we are posing with them:
