Jane Pettigrew Blog feature

Wow, we can't believe December is upon us already and another year nearly over. It's been a busy couple of months at ATTIC, with various preparations and projects, and we were recently lucky enough to be visited by Jane Pettigrew - tea guru and all round lovely lady!

Jane is a leading tea authority, and has written several books about tea, as well as teaching regular tea master classes.

She also writes a blog for World Tea News, of which her latest addition features us and her visit to Bristol.

Beatles day!

Happy Beatles day! We're celebrating the fab four in our own special way on twitter by coming up with various Beatles themed tea-puns! Join in the fun at #beatlestea for classics such as 'Loose-tea in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'Dig a (white) Peony'...... no cringing!

It's a good day...

We're having such a lovely day at ATTIC today, we thought we'd share the good vibes!

It seems that all the elements in our 'manifesto' point highlighted above are being met in delightful ways - It's one of our team's Birthday (Happy Birthday Will!) so we've been enjoying some delicious cake, people have been coming in with well-wishes and in generally good moods thanks to the sunshine, we're all going out for drinks after work and we've been enjoying plenty of tea in-store.

We were also treated (and it was a treat...) to an impromptu performance from one of the classical guitar tutors down the road, which made our day! So many thanks to Pat at the Spanish Guitar Centre - pop back in again soon!

We hope everyone else is having a good day too ♥

ATTIC at The Big Chill

~Enjoying some tea & chill~

When the lovely folks from The East Room  asked if we’d like to serve our tea in their ‘Green Room’ at The Big Chill festival earlier this month, we’d packed up the ATTIC-mobile, popped on our wellies and went driving up to Herefordshire before you could say “Basement Jaxx”…

~The ATTIC-mobile!~

Once we’d worked our way through the fields and past some bizzarely placed Chesterfield sofas we arrived in the VIP area to find our “tea tent”, which was a beautiful Mongolian Yurt, lavishly decorated with cushions, rugs, beanbags, beds and sofas which created an atmosphere that more than lived up to the festival’s namesake.

We took our ‘One Leaf, Many Lives’ range of teas to serve, consisting of our pick of the finest teas representing each category of White, Scented, Green, Oolong, Pu-erh and Black teas, allowing visitors to sample the full spectrum of flavours. Promoting the teas by their ‘sensations’, we were able to generate a lot of excitement about our teas. The way that tea makes you feel has always been an important factor to us, so it was great to see other people starting to view tea in this way!

 Our Tea-makers also came into their own in the festival environment, providing delicious drinks easily and endlessly with no mess and very little waste – no teabags, and the leftover leaves create the perfect compost for plants!

We had a fantastic time at the festival, and was a wonderful opportunity for us to spread the tea-love with some great creative minds, who discovered how tea could accompany them in their moments of contemplation, fuel conversations and feed moments of genius.

We’ll be listening out for some tea-themed new-releases in the coming months!

~welcome into the wonderful world of tea - just remember, no shoes!~

New Look, New Shop

There's a new look taking over ATTIC headquarters! After feeling inspired by our manifesto and its giant metaphorical lightbulb, we have started to incorporate elements of the design into our overall branding and image, such as our new webshop.

We hope the new graphics are fun, friendly and welcoming - how we want your tea experience to be! 

We'll keep you updated on how things progress, and if you're in Bristol, keep an eye-out for our newly branded ATTIC-mobile, complete with tea-maker!
