Watch out, Scotland! The English are quietly producing their own whisky. Check out this New York Times story about The English Whisky Company, based in Norfolk, which is igniting a homegrown whisky revival!

Why I love tea
I spotted this on Pinterest and the artist has read my mind! I’m going to have a cuppa right now!
Steepster
I’ve stumbled upon a monthly tea delivery service called Steepster. Have you tried Steepster?
They provide a collection of five premium, loose-leaf teas from around the world each month (enough for 30 cups of tea). The shipment also includes tasting notes and expert brewing instructions to make the perfect cup of tea.
It’s normally $24.95/month but Living Social is doing a Steepster deal for $13, if you purchase in the next 17 days!

Red Bull’s office gives employees wings
Check out Red Bull’s London headquarters, which has been recently refurbished. New offices comprise the top three floors of an existing 19th century building – including a rooftop extension. The top floor also includes a main reception, bar, café, and both informal and formal meeting areas. Looks like a pretty cool place to work!
Gift idea: Adopt a tea garden
Nudo Darjeeling has a sweet little offering that could make a perfect holiday gift for the tea lover in your life (or could be a treat for yourself)!
You can adopt one of their Darjeeling tea gardens for a year and receive the finest quality, first flush, loose leaf tea straight from their garden!
It starts from £18 and includes an adoption certificate and a spring delivery of a 125g tin of organic, first flush, loose leaf tea!
Xmas gift idea: The Drinksbag
British people are always coming up with genius ideas. Case in point: The Drinksbag, which goes on sale today. They are £44.95 for launch price. Unfortunately they can’t ship internationally until next year, but Brits can get them now.
The Tea Song
If you’re already on Team Tea, you probably already know that tea is an elixir that can help you cope with bad breakups, zombies and urinary infections. But if you’re still on the fence, Yorkshire Tea has launched an incredibly catchy tune called “The Tea Song.”
I fancy a cuppa right about now. How about you?
“The traditional English tea ceremony”

Look familiar? 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
