Caffeine in tea

So tea has caffeine in it – we all know that right? But how much and why do we constantly hear that white tea has less caffeine than black…aren’t all teas made from the same plant? And tea has the same caffeine content of coffee…or wait…it has less? Confused? Yeah so was I when I started out because the information online is actually pretty conflicting with reality.

Tackle life’s problems one teapot at a time.

I just had to share this.

I love it, I think it really is spot on. Keep calm and put the kettle on.

What do we do in times of crisis? We put the kettle on.

Your friend needs a sholder to cry on, put the kettle on. You have a bad day at work, put the kettle on. The kids are driving you crazy, put the kettle on. You’re stuck on a difficult homework question, put the kettle on.

I honestly think that tea may not be the solution to our problems but it certainly puts us in the right frame of mind to tackle life’s problems one pot of tea at a time.

Do you have any tea stories you would like to share? Times when you thought without tea you could not have solved a problem you were facing? I’d love to hear your stories!

Thanks,

Hannah

Last week we attended the Food and Drink Expo at the NEC Birmingham. This was only our second ever trade show (although we have also done some consumer shows) and we just can’t get enough. We met some great people, got to try some yummy things (even though we weren’t looking but we were surrounded by some generous folks!) and attended some interesting talks like Alex James adventures in Foodie Land. Most importantly we created some great leads that we are currently following up on.

Our stand at FDE 2012!

As we are becoming seasoned pros (well…we’re getting there) I thought I would just put together a few tips on the planning and following up of a trade show split into three sections beginning with… Continue reading →
