The Entrepreneurial Spirit of Steeped Tea

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.

The Story of PG Tips

Image
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

Blooming Teas from China

Image
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...
