We are sooo trendy here at teapigs! Actually, I'm not sure about us being super fashionable, but our lovely little teapigs envelopes certainly are!
The lucky people of London Fashion Week 2010 received a fantastic YSH goody bag which featured lots of bits and pieces, including our very own teapigs tea temples.

As well as being on the front row benches of shows, the goody bags were given away outside Somerset House. British actress Joely Richardson, Sarah Brown the PM's wife and Harold Tillman the chief of fashion label Jaeger were among some of the famous faces to get their hands on a precious teapigs tea temple. We are continuing to work with YSH and in our latest competition have asked budding arties to desgin us a wonderful poster for our ongoing real tea mission....get the kettle on and the creative juices flowing!

Alex, Jo and I went tea sampling at new stockist, tossed, around London last week. We loved it. As well as offering the bestest, yummiest (yet healthiest) salads in town (I really recommend the sweet chilli chicken with rice), they now offer fantastic breakfasts from fresh fruit to granola and breakfast baps - needless to say best washed down with a good cup of teapigs english breakfast now available in all tossed stores.

So get yourselves down there and soonish because they are offering a free hot drink to customers until 30th November 09 - just print off your voucher here

Whilst you're there make sure you take in the entertaining "i'm a tosser" t-shirts (Alex's favorite), the salsa music (my favorite) and the super clear points-based nutritional info (brilliant).

The Real Tea mission continued on Saturday at the Contemporary Women Writers Conference held at the Oxford Union. Following talks given by authors Joanna Trollope and Francesca Kay, many of you looked in need of a good cuppa and teapigs were more than happy to play mother.

The settings of the Oxford debating chamber stimulated much discussion about tea and yerba mate soon became a topic of hot debate. By all accounts this brew really seems to be the marmite of the tea world. Whilst many lauded the smoky and bitter flavour of the South American tea, others had trouble getting past the first sip. One Classicist couldn't help but point out the appropriateness of promoting Amazonian tea at an event celebrating the achievements of female authors (at first I didn't have a clue what she was talking about - God bless Wikipedia).

Are you yet to sample the yerba mate experience? Why not order a sample pack and let us know what you think. Like "my mate marmite," love it or hate it yerba mate is jolly good for you.

We'd only recommend you buy this for a friend if they haven't yet discovered the great flavour of Real Tea. This is perfect for that brown slop delivered from dusty paper tea bags. Sign up for our Real Tea Mission here

resting place for dusty paper tea bag

We don't know for sure but the tea recently thrown at the Mona Lisa was probably of the brown slop variety that we are campaigning against with our Real Tea Mission. Of course, we are not advocating acts of vandalism, just peaceful protest starting with signing up to our Mission Petition by clicking here.

Here we are, down at "Speakers Corner" at The Covent Garden Real Food Market campaigning for Real Tea of course. Watch that banner Louise.Thanks to those who came to listen, sample and buy some real tea. Don't forget to sign up to our Real Tea Mission Petition and get a free pack of English Breakfast tea.
