the morning cuppa...

... a must before the day cranks into action.

Every which way with brews varieties..Earl Grey Russian Caravan, Afternoon Tea and Assam (to name but four)... Twinings have come up with this Morning Tea blend to celebrate 300 years since Thomas Twining launched The Golden Lyon in the UK the first tea house that welcomed women.

This Morning Tea was created by Master Tea Blender  Philippa Thacker and 10th generation Twining, Stephen Twining.
A blend of high and low grown Sri Lankan Ceylon teas the packaging has been designed by Australian women.
The selected designs now grace boxes of the Morning Tea and a portion of the cost is donated to a charity of their choice.

And according to Stephen Twining 'jiggling' the tea bag does nothing to speed up the brewing process!
Patience and a minimum three minute brew it is from now on.
