With Christmas now well and truly on countdown I thought it might be nice to write a post on tea pairings with some of the festive foods we eat. When drinking Lapsang have it with chicken or smoked salmon sandwiches or walnut cake or Stilton cheese, to enhance the flavour of the tea and/or food.

When you choose Fairtrade coffee, not only can farmers build a better quality of life for their families and communities, they can invest in growing better quality beans too. Fairtrade coffee farmers invest at least 25 percent of their Fairtrade premium in improving productivity and quality. Choose Fairtrade coffee and you’re also supporting farmers to fight the challenges they may face. These include the effects of a changing climate, low and unpredictable incomes and in some coffee-growing communities, there may not be enough food available for three to four months a year. Being part of Fairtrade has meant better knowledge…
Overheard in a Tea Room… ‘I do wish this teapot would pour like a dream! Try one of these scones, I can pass you the cream’. ‘Well, thank you, but no, for I must watch my weight, Just look at those slices of damson and date!’ ; Just look at that table: I say, what a sight – It looks like those women are starting a fight!’ ‘I’ll wait for the cuckoo clock – mustn’t be late: It’s supper at seven and soiree at eight.’ ‘No manners these days – not a ‘thank you’ or ‘please’, Those women…

It’s best to transfer both loose tea and tea bags from a cardboard or paper packet or tub into an air-tight container. Tins and caddies with tight-fitting lids are good as they can keep out smells and humidity which can affect the tea. Storing the jars in a dark cupboard will mean the tea will keep well. You should never keep it in the fridge as there is always the chance that water will get into the packet. You should always be careful with flavoured teas, as the added flavourings can be very powerful and easily taint other teas nearby. For…
