We're now stocking the fabulous Bee House teapots All Bee House Pots are made in Japan, and have two things in common – they’re beautifully made and very practical. In the past, the convenience and ‘mess free’ aspect of tea bags have led to their popularity. With a Bee House Teapot, you have the same convenience, with no need to compromise on the quality of the tea that you drink.
Simply spoon the leaves into your infuser, add water to the brim of your pot , and allow to steep. When you have an infusion of the desired strength, simply pour your tea and enjoy. When it’s time to clean up, just remove the infuser from the pot (nested in the rim), empty into a bin, and rinse out. No tea leaves in your drink, no mess in your sink, just wonderful fresh tea. Bee House teapots are designed to be filled to the brim, and emptied when the 1st serving round is completed, so we suggest that you consider a smaller pot than you might normally use, to ensure that your leaves are not left in water to stew in your infuser.

Super Ceylon Afternoon Tea
Just tasted an impressive Afternoon Tea from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Apparently it's an Uva Pekoe with a touch of Orange Blossom. A refreshing change from Earl Grey. We'll work with our blenders on reproducing it. Watch our site.

Of interest to tea rooms and caterers
We set up this site to cater for individual tea enthusiasts, without a thought at the time, of supplying like-minded colleagues serving delicious tea and cakes to those needy people out shopping on the High Street. But news of our passion for great and interesting teas at sensible prices has leaked out to the owners of these wonderful establishments, and I'm pleased to say that we're already working with several.
At the suggestion of our new friends we've tweaked our list a little. There's a new sliding price structure that takes into account quantities purchased. And we've added two Super Traditional Tea Bags for convenience. Although in the past I've held forth about revolting tea bags, and many are, it is possible to match the blend to the bag and to the occasion. We reckon we've got it just right for our Breakfast Choice and Earl Grey Choice teas. We've used good quality teas, no rubbish, sweepings or bitter cheap teas.
For other selections for your shop we recommend the loose teas brewed in a traditional pot. One with a tea strainer in the spout is ideal, and there is no reason why one of our Super tea bags cannot also be brewed in this pot.
At the top end of our catering rage are Fine & Noble pyramid tea bag. The range is specially selected by tea experts using only the finest teas from the “old” tea-growing world. They are manufactured using the more traditional “orthodox” method rather than on the CTC machines more commonly used on today’s tea bags. The quality of these teas, combined with the free-flow nylon pyramid bag, result in a slow release of flavour and character . Many imitations now on the market. These are the real thing, filled with the finest teas.
I urge you to try these extraordinary products.

Launch of new Blends
I can report on the successful launch last evening of two new blends. Our High Teas Breakfast and Afternoon Teas have been reformulated for the better. An average vote of 32 participants arrived at94% for the Breakfast Tea and 89% for the Afternoon Tea. This represents a substantial improvement on our previous offerings. We'll happily send a free sample of both on request.

Flavoured Green Teas
It's odd how these things happen, but our range of flavoured (scented) green teas has taken off (from a very low base), and we're watching trends here with interest. We'd be delighted to learn of other green teas not yet listed. I'm told that our prices are very reasonable, not too cheap, I hope.

Christmas has arrived
Frightening isn't it, but I'm already getting enquiries about my Christmas teas. As it so happens I tasted a batch yesterday and have made my decision. I've chosen a delightful spicy black tea, not at all over the top, and a great spicy green tea. Here I've been encouraged by the success of our Green Earl Grey. Am I becoming a trendsetter in my old age? I've even ordered the labels. Can't decide though whether to offer a festive tin? What do you think?
