Christmas came a little early for us this year! On 9th September, we headed to the Christmas Press Show London at the Design Centre in Islington to introduce Sip the Season to the press.
It was a brilliant opportunity to share our new product, serve some seasonal favourites and meet journalists, creators and fellow brands. We also left with a rather special reason to celebrate.
Introducing Sip the Season at the Christmas Press Show London
The Christmas Press Show marked the press launch of Sip the Season, and we were delighted with the response.
Throughout the day, visitors stopped by to discover the new product, learn more about English Tea Shop and enjoy a freshly brewed cup. We made plenty of new connections and had some lovely conversations along the way.
Seeing people experience Sip the Season for the first time was a real highlight.
Naturally, tea was at the heart of our stand. We served our Panettone and Pumpkin Spice blends, both filled with warming flavours that suit the cosier months perfectly. They went down a storm with visitors throughout the day.
For us, moments like these are what tea is all about: sharing flavour, conversation and a little time together.
The Sip the Season teas are created with the same care that runs throughout English Tea Shop, from the organic ingredients we source to the people involved along the journey from farm to cup.
A taste of Christmas in September
The Christmas Press Show was full of seasonal inspiration, with a wonderful mix of food, drink and lifestyle brands showcasing what’s ahead for Christmas.
We were in great company, with Maldon Salt as our neighbours, and enjoyed discovering what other brands had brought to the show.
Father Christmas even made an appearance, a little unexpected in September, but certainly enough to get everyone into the Christmas spirit!
Winning at the Wishlist Awards
The day became even more memorable when Sip the Season Townhouse Advent Calendar won in the Food & Drink category at the Wishlist Awards.
We were thrilled to receive the award, especially on the day we were introducing the product to the press.
Creating teas that combine thoughtful flavours, quality ingredients and a sense of celebration is something we care deeply about, so the recognition meant a great deal to the team.
A lovely start to the Christmas season
We left the Christmas Press Show feeling inspired by the people we’d met, the conversations we’d shared and the response to Sip the Season.
Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, sampled our teas and spent time with us during the day.
It was a wonderful way to start looking ahead to Christmas, and a reminder of just how much joy can begin with a good cup of tea.
