    TEA TIME · A SENSE OF CLASS TWO PARTNERS, ONE GOAL: As a standard bearer and premium brand in the hotel and catering industry, Tafelstern is joining forces with the renowned Ronnefeldt tea house to introduce a unique new tea service. Ronnefeldt’s exquisite teas have earned the firm a reputation which is synonymous with top quality in the hotel and catering business. Our new, modern interpretation of tea culture is called Teatime. This tea service successfully combines classic understatement with a modern aesthetic. Its clear communication of form and subtle detail are hard to resist. The central feature is the teapot, for loose leaf tea as well as for the practical “tea caddies” (special tea bags). Available in two sizes, it makes serving good tea simple. For the 0.4 litre pot one can use a “tea caddy”, or two teaspoons of loose tea in a concealed tea strainer. Simply double these quantities for the larger 0.8 litre teapot. LOTS OF SPACE FOR FLAVOUR TO FLOW Tea needs careful preparation and space for the flavours to flow. The tea strainer designed by Tafelstern and Ronnefeldt fits both sizes of teapot, allowing even large tea leaves to be steeped to maximum effect. This is the only way for them to fully develop a rounded, original flavour. A ground-breaking system. Tea is the queen of he who would be king! (from Ireland) Alongside the visual appeal of the teapot, there is the eye-catching teacup, with classic yet modern grace, and two varieties of saucer. These make an excellent combination with items from Coffeelings or Relation Today, such as plates, milk jugs or sugar bowls.

Vol 26 No. 4 Holliston, Massachusetts Fall, 2017 Understanding Taste The Quest for Flavor TEA-TASTERS DECIDING UPON THE QUALITY AND VALUE OF A NEW CARGO IN A WHOLESALE WAREHOUSE A sketch from Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, February 12, 1876. W hen professional tea-tasters sip a spoonful of tea, they do so with an enthusiastic slurp that would be considered inappropriate at the dinner table. In an interview published at businessdailynews.com, veteran Tetley tea-taster, Sebastian Michaelis, described the slurping as sounding “pretty horrendous if you’ve not heard it before.” Whether or not the average tea-taster understands the complex flavor cognition system that Gordon M. Shepherd refers to as the human brain flavor system, they have known for over a century that exposing the retronasal receptors to tea vapors, with a pretty horrendous sounding slurp, is essential to proper tea evaluation.

As a child growing up in Yorkshire in the 1950s and ’60s I remember coming home from school, tired and hungry, and my mother would give me tea. In those days ‘tea’ was a meal in the late afternoon at about Wfive or six o’clock. Our midday meal was called dinner. This custom prevailed in the north of England for a long time and some people still talk about dinner at lunchtime and tea at, well, teatime.

  • Diamond Jubilee China
    THE ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST January 2012 Press Release Commemorative teapot and tea caddy go on sale for the Diamond Jubilee Two limited-edition pieces have been added to the official range of commemorative china to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The new items are an English teapot (£250), limited to 500, and a tea caddy (£175), limited to 1,000. This is the first time the Royal Collection has included a tea caddy in a Only 500 commemorative teapots are available commemorative range. The design is based on 18th-century versions in the Collection. Further limited-edition pieces will be released throughout the Diamond Jubilee year. The Royal Collection range was inspired by the Rockingham Service, first used in 1838 at the coronation banquet of Queen Victoria, the only other monarch to celebrate 60 years on the throne. Commissioned by William IV in 1830, the service was produced in Yorkshire by the Rockingham Works and is possibly the most elaborate service ever made by an English factory, taking eight years to complete. At the centre of the design is William IV’s coat of arms, which has been specially redrawn for the Diamond Jubilee. The Rockingham Service is still used at State Banquets and was last in use for the State Visit of President Barack Obama and Mrs Obama in May. Pieces from the service can be seen in the China Museum at Windsor Castle. Nuala McGourty, Retail Director at the Royal Collection, said, ‘We are delighted with the design and believe that we have developed a truly exceptional range of products that will serve as a fitting celebration of this momentous occasion.
