Brewing Trouble!
After many years thinking of dogs and puppies whilst sipping tea, we finally decided to get a little helper and here she is. Her name is "Jolly" and she is a great tea lover - never leaves a single tea leaf on the ground!

Everything Stops for Tea
One Sunday in February I went to a free drop-in interactive talk called Everything Stops for Tea about tea drinking during the Second World War at the Imperial War Museum in London. John-Paul, the very well informed museum guide advised me that the title of the talk comes from the famous song of the same name Everything Stops for Tea.
You can view more details about the end of tea rationing on the BBC news website, it’s called ‘1952: Tea rationing to end’.

About this blog
This blog aims to be about tea drinking, tea making, different types of tea, what's going on with tea and about people who enjoy tea, including me. I’m Nigel and together with my partner I started in 2007 Tiger Spring Tea a very small tea company selling and promoting loose tea (rather than tea bags). The idea was to bring the enjoyment of drinking quality loose tea into everyday life - not just for special occasions. Our name comes from happy recollections of discovering and drinking Tiger Spring tea, a famous high grade Long Jing (Dragon Well) tea. This green tea is from the Chinese province of Zhejiang and bears the name of a place of pilgrimage for all lovers of this type of tea from the Tiyun Mountains, where according to legend, the best quality water used to make this tea, comes from the Tiger Spring.
