Alex is the man who blends all teapod’s teas and during the tastings visitors get a chance to try no less than 24 different types of tea – black, green, oolong, white – and herbs during an entertaining and informative three hour masterclass. There is even the chance to create your own special blend which you can try at home.

The tastings take place most months – generally on a Wednesday between 6.30pm and 9.30pm at teapod at 31 Shad Thames, London SE1 2YR.

The cost is £50 per person and you can make a booking by contacting blends for frieds or emailing us here at teapod.

The new report is a major review of 47 previously published studies and confirms that drinks that contain caffeine – such as tea and coffee – provide real health benefits. In the past it has always been assumed that caffeine was potentially bad for you. Too much probably is – but moderate amounts can do you good.

It recommends people should drink up to 8 cups of tea a day – or 4 cups of coffee – to benefit from lower risk of heart attack and lower cholesterol.

teapod tea fact: Black teas contain about half the caffeine of coffee. Green and white teas contain very little caffeine. Fruit and herbal teas contain no caffeine.

A new survey shows that no less than 68 per cent of Britons respond to a crisis by……..yes, putting the kettle on! As we have always suspected, a nice cup of tea – particularly decent quality speciality tea – helps calm and soothe the troubled mind when things are not going quite to plan. Apparently more of us reach for the teapot than ring home to mum!

We were in the rather cool sounding “urban decadence” section which seems good to us and they described us as “a modern, bright and cheery tearoom.” Judge Pei Wang highlighted our bagels, cream teas and Oolong tea for particular mention as well as the “teapod timer” – which helps customers get their brew just right. Pei is one the UK’s leading tea experts so we are pretty pleased that he had a good time when we visited and we thank him for his interest and comments.
