We are celebrating the English cuppa this month at teapigs HQ with 10% off of everyday brew tea until the end of March, an awesome “nice British things” giveaway and an very special interview on the blog next week with one of our favourite British Olympians.
We’ve been having a think in the office today about what we love about living in Britain and some of our favourite quirky British things:

Treacle sponge pudding… love british sponge puddings…
teapig Nick loves:
our self-depreciating and ironic sense of humour
beer and pub culture plus the new craft beer revolution
roast dinners, all the trimmings especially gravy and/or mint/horseradish sauce
our diversity, from N. Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, so many amazing things to discover
our vibrant cities and beautiful countryside
our inability to cope with minor extremes of weather
suet puddings!
