gloom aid

It's back. Gloom Aid returns to cheer us all up on what is officially the gloomiest day of the year (apparently). Run by cheerful chappies Leonard and Cliff (pictured) the event at the O2 Academy, Islington features various artists who will bring smiles to our faces and help to raise money for The Depression Alliance. We'll be there doing our own little thing to raise energy levels by serving matcha shots.So if you can, come along for what should be the perfect antidote to the post Christmas blues. See you there hopefully :-) (posted by Nick)

holiday like a farmer

2010-01-08T11:23:55Z

how does the thought of holidaying in an unspoilt piece of countryside sound to you? When we saw this picture, we thought it looked pretty much like our idea of relaxing bliss.

We've come across a great company - Feather Down Farm Days - who organise, well, holidays on farms accross the country. They are always working farms where the farmer and his wife are passionate guardians of the countryside. And the farms have different specialities - be it organic produce, cattle, dairy, horses.

You can sleep in the Feather Down tents... these are no ordinary tents - they are lovely, cosy abodes with old fashioned stoves and a proper loo!

We'll be working with Feather Down Farm Days to bring you a chance to win one of these holidays soon so watch this space!

Diet & Fitness

2010-01-05T17:19:52Z

There's something of a tradition of promising dieting and detox after Christmas. Both Louise and I have set ourselves the target of losing 14lbs over the next 8 weeks with our UPS scales acting as the official adjudicator. Failure to do so will result in running this years Bupa London 10,000 race on May 31st (although if we succeed we'll probably want to enter anyway!)

In order to help our devoted teapig drinkers to achieve their new year goals we will be giving away 10 tickets for the Diet and Fitness Show, 23-24th January at London Olympia. 2 lucky winners will also receive a pack of our super slimming, super energising, super healthy organic matcha green tea.

To enter email your new year goals to alex@teapigs.co.uk

Baker's Delight!

2010-01-04T12:54:07Z

Over the festive Christmas break I decided to put my little pot of amazing matcha to good use in one of my favourite recipes - banana bread!

It's a really quick and easy recipe and the best news is that it's sort of healthy - in the world of cakes that is! For a nutrient boost try using wholemeal flour instead of white flour.

The finished product is a great tea time treat - along with a mug of your favourite teapigs tea of course!

For the full details of this recipe and others, just visit our matcha recipe page which has loads of great culinary ideas involving the one and only mactha! Enjoy! by Hannah :)

Hello America! teapigs will soon be available in the Boston and New York area. One problem - you guys use different barcodes! Never one to turn down a challenge, last Tuesday 4 teapigs, a street dancer and a molecular biologist travelled to Kent to re-sticker 11,000 packs of tea. After a safety briefing from their main man Roy, a bacon sarnie, and a strong cuppa we set about the day's business.

Working our way through the Earl Grey - we soon had a production line in place that Henry Ford would have been proud off.

10 hours later - job done. Home. Bath. Chamomile tea. Bed.

Congratulations!
