Blend Over

Blends for Friends Teas

It finally happened: one too many pints one too many times. Last night wasn’t pretty, so you’re turning over a new leaf and becoming teetotal.

Or rather, tea total.

Which makes sense since you discovered Blends for Friends, a company that produces personalized teas. Just fill out a form with your, or a friend’s, hobbies, interests, talents, nickname, etc., and master blender Alex Probyn will create a batch tailored to your good taste.

Each 100 grams of loose-leaf tea comes in a chic silver tin, complete with a personalised label. Order online and receive by post within a fortnight to anywhere in the world; it makes an original thank you/get well present. And the company keeps all information on file, so you can order repeat blends.

Teatotally excited? True, your friends may make fun of your newfound sobriety.

But all’s well that blends well.
