This year we have been selected to participate to the Murray Hotel Chinese New Year market, a contemporary chic hotel located in the heart of Admiralty. The set up of the market in the iconic terrace of the Arches, framing ultra urban views of Hong Kong was fabulous. Having our first market was so fun and inspiring. Not only were we inspired by other local brands' forms of creativity, but mostly by our customers feedbacks. Our brand's essence is to make sure our teas make people happy, and nothing makes us more proud to hear that our Work From Home, Kick Ass and Sunday Chill add smiles and smoothness to your day. Tomorrow will be the last day of the market, don't hesitate coming and saying hi ! We love how tea makes people gather and would be delighted to serve you some.

Since the creation of Peerie Tea, we've had several enquiries about tea bags. Tea bags are very convenient for teas on-the-go and coffee shops that don't necessarily have the space to store tea pots and tea cups. However, we have been firm about not providing tea bags, and here is the reason why : While the health and wellbeing benefits of tea are indisputable, it is necessary to understand that they only are apparent when it is correctly harvested, produced and brewed. One major parameter is the way tea is brewed. Sadly, most people are used to tea bags and this can honestly be compared to brewing used coffee grounds ! Indeed, most bagged teas available from the supermarket are mass produced and made using dust and fannings. This results in the tea having lost all of its qualities and tasting bitter when steeped. To disguise this, tea bags often have artificial aromas, coloring and preservatives. Not the ideal combination when you think of what tea can really offer ! Usually, tea bags are not compostable and are sold wrapped in multiple layers of plastic packaging. Many brands selling tea bags that are said compostable, however, we want to make loose leaf tea drinking a habit and a lifestyle, helping eliminating single use packaging, wether it is plastic, natural fibre etc. Try buying loose leaf teas in reusable or recyclable containers, and brew them in one our beautiful reusable tea infusers, at the office or at home.

Is tea healthier than coffee ? Does tea have more caffeine than coffee ? What are the benefits of drinking tea ? If you have asked yourself one of these questions then the below article is for you ! I personally need a caffeine boost in the morning, but don't particularly enjoy too strong, too hot, coffee. It usually gives me too much heart palpitations, and tastes too sour... if that makes any sense. I end up adding a lot of milk making a rather average latte for my morning. So yes, I am a poor coffee drinker with zero knowledge on it ! However, I know my teas. I particularly enjoy a cup of Breakfast Tea or Earl Grey mid morning. After lunch, if I am working from home, I would continue with the same teas just for a good, warm feeling in my stomach. In the evening after dinner, we brew a whole teapot of chamomile, ginger or rooibos and drink it all throughout the night. It is part of our ritual, and it is something that I cherish a lot : our habit of drinking tea. Now, for a more factual post, here is what you should know : Tea, especially green tea, is a rich source of powerful antioxidants, more specifically, flavonoids. Flavonoids are bioactive compounds that can lessen oxidative stress and relieve inflammation. In other words, they help your body function more efficiently, preventing damage from daily toxins, pollution and stress. Studies show that those who regularly consume tea, at least three times a day, are less likely to develop cardiovascular diseases. Tea’s ability to lower blood pressure, boost the immune system thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties have a high impact on the overall health of habitual tea drinkers. Lower in caffeine than coffee, tea gives a smooth boost throughout the day, avoiding the “high/low buzz peaks” from coffee. The amount of caffeine in tea depends on its oxidation level : the more oxidized it is, the higher in caffeine it is. Hence, black tea has significantly more caffeine than green, and white tea has the least caffeine. #tea #teablog #positivity #lifestyle #health #organictea

I had was around 8 or 9 years old, as I hanging out at my dad's side grand parents' place. They used to own a shop selling groceries and deli in front of a primary, which my sister and all my cousins attended. Throughout the day, my grand parents, aunt and uncles who worked at the shop would drink tea in tall glasses. Hot or cold, with black tea leaves still at the bottom. I loved the colour. So I asked my aunt, Linda, to try. It tasted quite bitter, but it wasn't unpleasant ! My taste for tea is constantly evolving as my knowledge of the whole culture around it widens. My dad, the most passionate about tea in the family, used to go to Beijing taste the finest teas. He made me do my first tea tasting, it was a phenomenal experience, and I was completely tea drunk after 2 hours of drinking tea ! Nowadays, he is still the master in the family, and only like very specific, refined teas from China and Taiwan. So whenever we launch a new tea, I always ask myself what would he think, and if he would like it. I would have like to place a photo of my dad drinking tea but haven't got any ... yet :) #tea #organic #tealover #chinesetea #goldenneedles #blacktea

"In 2007, the UN Children's children fund, UNICEF, found that hunger, disease and child exploitation were a problem even on apparently successful plantations that sell tea to high-end customers.... the people (living on the tea estates) are among the most marginalised in India...They have fallen off the radar". Most tea workers in tea gardens across India are paid absurdly low wages (as low as 11 HKD a day). This includes tea plantations that claim to be organic and certified as FairTrade. These low wages can lead to social unrest, slave labour and human trafficking. At Peerie Tea, we work directly with tea plantations that offer good wages to their workers, and that have a welfare system in place that helps to provide money towards the worker's pension and health care. On top of this we offer a percentage of the buying price of the teas separately to these farms to help them increase the wages for their hired workers. Our ethical policy helps to support and save lives in local rural communities in India. We are part of a revolution. Come join us.

Ramesh Babu is a fourth-generation tea planter who decided to leave his family’s plantation in the southeast Indian state of Tamil Nadu to start his own organic operation. “Initially, when you stop using [chemical] fertilizer you have a big fall in your production, so that’s one major factor which keeps other tea growers from going organic.” As a result of lower yields, Ramesh has yet to see a profit from his tea estate by going organic, yet he is determined to change the way that tea is produced in India. “It’s something that cannot be approached in terms of a business,” he said. “It’s a change of the mindset.”
