Tea is about to 'wow' the senses!

See it, smell it, taste it – tea is refreshing, low in caffeine and is believed to benefit our health, but get ready as it’s about to ‘wow’ your senses! Artisanal tea company, The Exotic Teapot is passionate about providing only the highest quality, premium teas and has just re-launched its website and product range.

The Exotic Teapot’s new website is designed to tantalise your senses and encourages you to enter the world of exotic tea. Everything sold by The Exotic Teapot enhances the tea experience. The range of evocative flowering teas are handcrafted by tea masters in small, high altitude tea farms in China. Fresh flowers like Jasmine and tender Green Tea buds are skillfully woven together into a ball shaped bloom. When steeped in one of the latest exquisite glass teapots filled with hot water, the bloom delicately unfurls to provide a stunning floral display and the wow factor!

The Exotic Teapot also has a new range of Tea Steeples, which are little, biodegradable bags of gourmet whole leaf tea, each designed to ‘wow’ your senses when you’re on the go. Simply choose from 15 premium, much-loved teas and infusions, including Assam, Chamomile, Raspberry, Earl Grey, Jasmine, Moroccan Mint, Darjeeling, Oolong, Chai Green, Cherry Sencha and Rooibos.

If you’re looking to create a truly bespoke gift, The Exotic Tea company allows you to simply choose a glass or cast iron teapot, add cups and up to three different teas and accessories. Your gift is then beautifully wrapped and delivered with a personalized note to the lucky recipient. Discovery and Gourmet sets are also available depending on your budget and offer a choice of teapots, tea and cups. Or for a smaller gift, simply choose a Tea Basket filled with your choice of tea.

The Exotic Teapot was founded in 2007 after founders Paul and Nadia Iliffe first discovered flowering tea during a trip to China. The small, artisanal company works closely with partners in China and around the world to seek out the finest teas, teaware and gifts. Its tea suppliers and blenders are some of the most knowledgeable experts in the world, and its Chinese glass and cast iron teaware is made by small, family run businesses that employ traditional techniques, and share The Exotic Teapot’s commitment to quality.

The New Country Look - Modern Rustic

I'm loving the new 'Country Living Modern Rustic' book for inspiration. It's a brilliant celebration of the artisan: knowing the provenance and meeting the makers of hand-crafted furnishings. Deemed the source of 'new country' style it's full of stunning interiors and products.

Why we should handle your PR!

Thank you to Anne Bannell at Breeze in Cambridge for your kind endorsement.

"I had the pleasure of working with Nina a couple of years ago when I asked her to help with Breeze's PR. Over the period of about a year she secured numerous product placements for us in both local and national magazines; assisted with our seasonal newsletters and got our social media links up and running. I enjoyed our time together and would recommend her to any small business, especially of the gift or clothing variety."

Scents from an English country garden

After grabbing a quick coffee before work today, I discovered these deliciously scented candles made by The Country Candle Company.

Each candle is hand-crafted in Wiltshire and the collection captures scents reminiscent of the British countryside and English country gardens.

They smell amazing, and are perfect for lifting the spirits on another cold, wet and blustery day.
