An excellent podcast @Willfinetea talks with Stefan Gates about the history of tea foodmatterslive.com/discover… Will mentions Street Tea & enjoying a cup of tea in a clay cup (a kulhad) in India. More on this in the next episode of Around the World in 80 Teas-coming soon. #TeaTime

The 2nd edition of @Willfinetea's brilliant The World Tea Encyclopaedia has finally arrived! Just in time, before my dog-eared 1st edition perishes from constant use. A beautifully written, comprehensive and informative book. And Battle says sweet things about our teas!

Nestled amongst the Assam samples arriving today were three beautiful teas from @JerseyFineTea - genuinely excellent black, white and green teas produced with real artisanal flair.

Well done @KarenPierceUK and @DefenceHQ Tea keeps us going in times of crisis. @CamelliaPlc @EOFhome @UKTalkingTea
I see there’s huge interest in how to make a British cup of tea. ☕️ So I’ve called in my military advisers to get this in the record.

Fantastic selection of Ceylon teas just received & tasted. Highlight was a Nuwara Eliya light-bright tea bursting with greenish freshness...

It was a delight to taste Ceylon teas at the Sri Lankan High Commission’s independence anniversary function this evening. Piercingly aromatic Uva seasonal teas, Zesty Westerns and Malty Low Growns were all relished by the guests.#SriLanka #tea

Inspirational episode of #bbcfoodchain with @Asma_KhanLDN the founder of Darjeeling Express. Great to see the impact that food has to change lives for the better.

If you happen to live in California then this is an opportune day to try Noah Bleich’s blend ‘ImPeachMint’... satire wrapped in a teabag...@TheTeaBook
