I love stuff like this. This is a fun little promotional short created by the Empire Tea Bureau in 1941. Of course, these tea tips are for British-style preparation, but the basic principles presented are definitely applicable across the tea spectrum. Plus, it’s just a fun bit of nostalgia and makes me want a cup of tea. With the colder weather (for July) we’ve had, a hot cup of English-style tea sounds really good right now!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. We have some great summer events being planned, so stay tuned! Teaware has been flying off the shelves, so expect to see some new wares coming soon. As a reminder, if you’re interested, please do follow us on Facebook as we update daily. You’ll find us here.

Thanks so much for checking in!
