Hatem and Tonia Jahshan didn’t really plan to start Ancaster, Ont.-based Steeped Tea , a direct-sales tea company. It just happened. “In 2005, we were on holidays in Nova Scotia, and we had a cup of loose leaf Creme of Earl Grey tea that just blew us away. Before we knew it, we had visited the tea shop and bought a bunch of loose tea to bring home to try out,” Mr. Jahshan recalls. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sb-growth/day-to-day/steeped-tea-brews-a-winning-growth-strategy/article2208149/ Special to The Globe and Mail Becky Reuber is a professor of strategic management in the   Rotman School of Management   of the University of Toronto.

PG Tips   is a brand of   tea   in the   United Kingdom , manufactured by   Unilever UK . It is claimed that Britons drink 35 million cups of the tea every day. A PG Tips UK Commercial - 1971 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzEBLa3PPk Brand name In the 1930s   Arthur Brooke   of   Brooke Bond   launched PG Tips in the UK tea market under the name of   Pre-Gest-Tee . The name implied that the tea could be drunk prior to food being digested. Grocers abbreviated it to PG. After the   Second World War , labelling regulations ruled out describing tea as aiding digestion—a property previously attributed to tea—and by 1950/1 the PG name was officially adopted. The company added "Tips" referring to the fact that only the tips (the top two leaves and bud) of the   tea plants   are used in the blend. Read on : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PG_Tips

Here is an email I received from my friend James Dingnan in Tianjin , China . He and his wife run a family business on blooming teas . I found it rather interesting and definitely worth a read : Flowering tea or blooming tea   consist each of a bundle of dried tea leaves wrapped around one or more dried flowers . These are made by binding tea leaves and flowers together into a bulb and are then set to dry. When steeped, the bundle expands and unfurls in a process that emulates a blooming flower, while the flowers inside emerge as the centerpiece. Typically they are sourced from the Yunnan province of China . Flowers commonly used in flowering teas include globe amaranth , chrysanthemum , jasmine , lily , hibiscus , and osmanthus . It remains uncertain whether flowering tea was developed in the 1980s or was a much older invention of China . Flowering tea is generally served in containers made of glass, or other transparent material, so that the flowering eff...

At the end of the nineteenth century coffee was made in individual filterssitting on a cup or pot by allowing the water to percolate through the groundcoffee and to  steep in filters suspended in the pot Bezzera’sespresso machine in 1902 was designed to make a cup of coffee instantaneouslyfor the customer. He must have been aware that he needed to use finely groundcoffee to get rapid extraction, but also that the water would not pass throughthe coffee if it was too fine, without some steam pressure. The fineness of thegrind and consequent blocking prevented espresso grind being used in all othercoffee filters. In 1947 the development of the Gaggia machine using much higherpressure from the spring lever allowed the use of much finer coffee –modern espresso grind – to make coffee in less than 30 seconds.. Now a totally new approach to steep the coffee first and then filter it,using a 60 micron stainless steel mesh filter or filter paper, allows espressogrind coffee to be used t...

http://www.slate.com/articles/life/drink/2011/06/rooibos_tea.html If you haven't heard of it, you will soon. By  Jessica Grose Loose rooibos tea The first time I drank rooibos (also called red bush) was two months ago at the most fashionable cafe in my Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood—  Café Pedlar . It's a robust herbal tisane  (not technically a tea), and its flavor has an almost tobacco-like, nutty quality. Dan Torres, the general manager of the cafe and a  New York Times -anointed "tastemaker," called it a "coffee drinker's tea." Once I had rooibos at Pedlar, I started noticing it everywhere:  It is an essential ingredient in a tea sold where I get acupuncture that promises to "sweep toxins away" ; it's part of an  organic-skin-care line's age-defying serum ; it's even on the menu at the famous  Russian Tea Room . These are just anecdotal observations, but there's also real data suggesting that rooibos is growing in popularity....

The New Shape of Teabags http://www.teaandcoffee.net/0305/tea.htm BY AMELIA C. LEVY If you grew up  in the United States, or in any of a number of industrialized nations, when someone says the word "tea" to you, visions of a flat paper bag filled with unidentifiable, dark, powdery substance, with a string attached to it by a staple, would inevitably flash through your mind. For many of us, tea, in terms of preparation, has never been anything but another beverage like soda or juice, except for the added step of dunking a bag into hot water. But as we move forward, we paradoxically look back to a time when what we consumed was more identifiable with the original product. Thus, there has been a growing popularity of whole leaf tea in the specialty market. But we still are unable (or unwilling) to take time out to follow the tradition of preparation, even if we love the taste of whole teas and herbs. So, like humans always do, we adjust, and find a happy medium: a teabag that ...
