Tea

Our tea at the event was pretty special.

Tim d'Offay from Postcard Teas supported our project from start. He donated all the tea for the event as well as a beautiful tea sets for raffle.

And he spent his Sunday day-off making tea for us, just after coming back from China on Saturday. His wife, Asako, and Hisayo, a staff at Postcard Teas, were all there too, and baked cakes and Japanese sweets.

Jane, Asako and Pippa - Tim's tea expert friends - supported us on the day, too. Both Jane and Asako were in West Japan lecturing on tea, when the earthquake hit, so they knew the impact first hand.

Not only donated a lot of raffle prizes and provided us tea equipments, Jane also made special effort to come to our event, straight from Heathlow on the way back from Argentina!

They didn't ask us to promote their business, but I strongly recommend you to visit the beautiful tea shop near New Bond Street, and find more about the tea through their courses or books.
