A TASTY TEA - PG TIPS

We are pleased to introduce PG Tips, the UK's bestselling tea. Tea is the UK's favorite drink, consuming 150 million cups a day, with 35 million being PG Tips. If you like breakfast tea, you WILL love PG Tips and if you do not like breakfast tea, you WILL love PG Tips.

PG Tips has a long and reputable history celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2005. Their advertisements included the PG Tips’ chimps and ran for almost 50 years, winning them a spot in Guinness Book of Records as the longest running ad campaign ever. See below for videos.

In 1869 a tea dealer, Arthur Brooke opened his first shop in a prime location selling tea, coffee and sugar. A sign over the door read Brooke, Bond and Company although there was no Mr. Bond, he liked the sound of it, so it stuck. The company continued to prosper after Brooke’s death in 1918, but it was not until 1930 that PG Tips first hit the shelves, sold as loose leaf tea.

PG Tips comes from the name “Pre-Gestee’ tea” a variation of the original name “Digestive Tea” (thought to aid in digestion. Salesmen thought this was too long a name and shortened it to PG Tips. The Tips refer to the tips of the bud of the tea plant which are used in the blend.

Available at One of a Kind. PG Tips is $11.00 per 8.8 oz. box, which is about 10 cents a cup. A great tea and a great deal!

Here are some of the famous PG Tips ads:




Famous commercial lines: "You can really taste the difference in a cup of PG, tender tips make tasty tea." and "A golden cup of PG that’s what I call good taste."

STORING TEA

Things you want to avoid when storing tea:

· Air
· Light
· Moisture
· Excessive heat

Store your tea in an air-tight, opaque container away from moisture or heat. The black bag your Tea & Tradition’s tea comes in is a good storage container. You want to make sure the bag is tightly sealed. If you are purchasing large quantities (+4 ounces) I would recommend purchasing smaller tea tins (available for $3.50 by calling us when placing your order – they will be on the website in the near future) to store the tea you will use everyday and keeping the larger quantity sealed in the bag without exposing to constant light and air.

You may not want to store you tea with your spices because it is extremely absorbent and will absorb the aromas of what is around it.

TRAVEL MUG WITH FILTER, LID AND SLEEVE

The new TIGO travel mug is the all-in-one way to enjoy loose leaf tea at home, at the office, or on the go. Its simple two-piece design makes brewing loose tea a snap no matter where you are. The secret is the built-in rotating filter – just rotate the filter to vertical to add tea leaves and water, then horizontal to strain out the leaves while drinking. You can then re-fill it with water to brew another cup, or if you're done, just rotate the filter back to vertical and rinse! There's no need to clean the filter separately because it's built right in to the cup. The filter rotates by turning the metal band near the top of the cup. Its practical design makes loose leaf tea convenient and portable. And fun too – you'll love seeing the leaves swirl around as they brew the tea to a beautiful green hue. Now you can enjoy loose tea anywhere you go!

Visit us our website and order your travel mug today! It is located under tea accessories and featured products.
