Greetings!
Follow That Tuk-Tuk!
I have just become aware of a great undertaking from University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and wanted to share the information with all of you. In honor of the 350th anniversary of the introduction of tea to Britain, a group of six recent graduates and current students from the University have established The Tracing Tea Project. The project will involve undertaking a 15,000 kilometer journey by auto-rickshaw ( or Tuk-Tuk ) from Kolkata to London, passing through eighteen of the world's greatest tea drinking countries.To read more information about this exciting and intriguing adventure, go to Nellie's web site and click on the Brewing tab. Scroll to the bottom of the Brewing page and click on the Tracing Tea link. It promises to be an intriguing adventure!
Do You Cozy?
 
We have a new shipment of tea cozies from Thistledown Cozies of New Hampshire. These are beautifully designed cozies in an array of fabrics to suit everyone's style and taste. 
In addition we have tea wallets for tea drinkers on the go who don't like to be caught without their favorite tea. These uniquely beautiful fabric wallets can carry six teabags and four packets of sweetener. Be sure to stop in and check these out!
Be sure to celebrate this New Year with a special treat for yourself. With All the Tea in China, there is bound to be one which strikes your fancy!
Sincerely,

In recognition of the close connection between tea and its country of origin, we honor the Chinese New Year in this "Year of the Pig" currently being celebrated. The symbol depicted in the above image is the Chinese character for Good Luck!
