Teas the Season for a Cup of Cheer!

International Tea Day celebrates the cultural and economic significance of tea or chai. The day aims to promote awareness about the diverse aspects of tea, including it’s history, production, consumption and health benefits. It is a great time to reflect on the importance of tea as a global phenomenon and share the experience of tea with others. We Brits are renowned for our love of tea, collectively consuming more than 60 billion cups a year, which is upwards of 165 million cups a day!

Many of our homes gladly joined in the festivi-’teas’. Residents at Ashurst Mews and Clare Court had their tastebuds tickled with a variety of sweet and savoury teas. Highcliffe got out the fine China, inviting friends and families for a cup of their favourite brew, a tea themed quiz, sing songs and trivia. Well-being Co-ordinator Gillian said, “There was lots of laughter, learning and oohing, but we all know that you can only get an ‘ooh’ with Typhoo!”

Rowan Court provided a range of classic black teas to fragrant herbal infusions, to emphasise the home’s commitment to embracing diversity and allowing residents to relish the flavours of the world.
