FROM INDIA'S BLUE Mountains to China's Fujian province, the team at Grey's Teas offers over one hundred of the most distinctive loose leaf teas from areas of the world renowned for the quality of their tea.
Head to the website and you'll find everything from orchid-like China Keemuns to creamy Yunnans and smoky Lapsang Souchongs, as well as floral highland Ceylons or malty Assams and muscatel Darjeelings.
As for classic blends, Grey's Teas source many via the Ethical Tea Partnership, as well as stocking twenty organic teas. When it comes to quality, Grey's Teas is one of the best, offering large-leaf loose teas that give the most distinctive, balanced flavour.
The range includes over one hundred single-origin teas from individual tea gardens and tightly defined areas of origin. It uses distinctive constituent teas – take, for example, the Earl Grey blend: it uses natural oil of bergamot, rather than flavourings.
And that's how Grey's Teas got its name – it was founded by Richard Grey, the descendant of Earl Grey himself, the British Prime Minister between 1830 and 1834 who was famous for passing the Great Reform Bill of 1832.
Whether you're just a tea fanatic or just starting out on your tea journey, Grey's Teas has plenty of choices so that you can explore subtle differences in character.
Such a wide selection of tea might seem intimidating, but Grey's Teas has plenty of information to help you choose the teas you're most likely to enjoy.
If that selection of tantalising teas has piqued your interest, you're in luck: Grey's Teas is offering one lucky winner £100 of tea of their choosing.

JING's loose-leaf tea is used by more than 70 Michelin-starred restaurants around the world – and you can enjoy the tea of choice of renowned chefs in your own home, too
UNLESS YOU HAPPEN to be a top-level chef, you know that when you eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant, you're safe in the knowledge that you're eating well beyond the level of cooking you can realistically achieve at home.
But the same doesn't extend to drinking. Not tea, anyway – because when it comes to enjoying the same cup of tea at a high-end restaurant as you can at home, the 'secret' couldn't be more straightforward: just choose the brand that chefs trust to accompany their acclaimed food.
By choosing JING's loose-leaf teas, that's exactly what you'll do. And it's no surprise, either: since its inception, JING has put quality sourcing at the top of its agenda, their tea leaves coming from small-scale, skilled and knowledgable farmers, culminating in a tea whose unique taste truly reflects its place of origin – not even just the region, but the soil, too.
In a world where food and drink enthusiasts want to be able to know exactly where their food comes from, it's comforting to know that JING's teas can be easily traced back to farmers and suppliers in tea gardens across Asia. JING's tea farmers are not only highly skilled and with a truly sustainable mindset, but their methods are steeped in tradition, too, having been passed down over generations.
At a time when consumers are looking for quality and ethics in products sourced from nearby and far-flung places alike – from grass-fed British meat, to sustainably caught fish and seafood from Europe, and coffee and chocolate farmed in the tropics – JING's answer to the high-yield, low-margin tea products Britain has become accustomed to is a rallying call. 'Good enough' is no longer good enough. And if you need any further reason, just ask a chef.
The Spirits Society
Why settle for a dusty tea bags or dried-out herbal infusions? Now, you can enjoy exceptional whole-leaf tea at home and at the office: five lucky winners will receive the ultimate loose-tea gift set, including two caddies of the finest fresh loose tea, a hand-blown tea infuser mug and timer, all worth £65.
To enter, simply answer the question below.
The question is: How many Michelin-starred restaurants use JING's loose-leaf tea?

Win a £250 Spirit Lover's Hamper from Silent Pool Distillers - Foodism

Expired

FEW GINS CAN claim to taste so smooth that you can drink them neat. But that’s exactly what you can do with Silent Pool Gin. We should know, we’ve tried it. It’s full-bodied and fresh with floral layers of lavender and chamomile. And, in addition to its great taste, it has a beautiful aroma.
This multi-award winning serve is produced in small batches using a custom-made still that’s heated by steam from a reclaimed English boiler, which is fired on local hardwood. Everything, right down to the bottling, is done on site. Creating Silent Pool Gin is a labour-intensive process, but the final result is well worth the effort – a delicate, complex and internationally acclaimed gin that’s now rolling out across the globe.
Silent Pool Distillers coined the phrase ‘intricately realised’ to embody the company’s core values – to be an artisan producer of high-quality spirits. The team has a fundamental belief in quality, crafted, English products. This philosophy is evident from the beautiful teal and copper filigree bottle design to the refreshingly individual gin inside and it’s the thread that runs through the crafting, not only of Silent Pool Gin, but all of their products.
In order to celebrate these values, Silent Pool Distillers is offering one lucky winner a Spirit Lover’s hamper, which contains the following:
3 bottles of Silent Pool gin
2 bottles of WRY English vodka
1 bottle of blackberry and gin cordial
1 bottle of strawberry and gin cordial
1 bottle of Eau de Vie
2 elegant copa glasses
All of which is housed in a sturdy wooden crate. The whole prize is worth £250.
To be the lucky recipient of this prize, Silent Pool Distillers wants you to explain what ‘intricately realised’ means to you. You can express your answer with images or audio, references to other skilfully crafted products or brands, or simply with a description or explanation. The response that best embodies Silent Pool Distillers’ lovingly hand-crafted philosophy, as decided by the Directors, will be selected as the winner.

Win a three-month subscription to The Spirits Society - Foodism

Expired

WITH A RAFT of subscription services hitting the market, taking care of everything from organic vegetables to chocolate, sometimes it's worth thinking outside the box.
And, given that The Spirits Society is from the same team that brought you The Spirit Show – which returns this year after a hugely successful debut last December – you know that its new subscription service will do just that.
The Spirits Society is all about enriching your knowledge – and your booze cabinet – by helping you discover new premium spirits from world-class distilleries, delivering them direct to your home. On a monthly basis, you'll receive new, unusual, premium bottles of gin, rum, vodka, whisky and more. And because the service is all about thinking about more than what's inside the box, you'll get detailed tasting notes and information about the distillers, as well as mixers, garnishes, and recipes, too.
The first box, for example, contained a 70cl bottle of Trevethan gin (with an RRP of £37.95), as well as a miniature bottle of Edgerton pink gin, two Franklin & Sons tonic waters, orange and rosemary to garnish, dried chorizo from Cleaver & Keg, and a pouch of botanicals, so that subscribers could get to know not just the 'what' of the spirit they're drinking, but the 'how', too.
You can choose which world-class spirit you'll receive in your next box (vodka, whisky, gin, rum, to name just a few), but many subscribers are choosing to make use of the 'Spirit Surprise' subscription. Its premise is so simple you'll wonder why it's not been done before: each month, you'll receive a specially selected bottle of premium spirit, hand-chosen by The Spirits Society's team, with all of the accompaniments.
The idea is to take you outside your comfort zone and to open yourself up to spirits and flavours you either didn't realise you liked, or simply hadn't come across before. The extensive tasting notes will be your guide, and you can relax knowing you're sampling something that's vouched for by experts, helping you build a back bar that'll be the toast of the town.
The Spirits Society
Fancy road-testing the service? You could be in with a chance of winning a three-month 'Spirit Surprise' subscription, meaning you'll receive one surprise bottle per month for three months along with mixers, treats and garnishes.
The Spirits Society’s subscriptions cost £40 per month. Subscribe at thespiritssociety.co.uk or follow @Spirits_Society on Twitter.
The question is: When did The Spirit Show make its London debut?

Win six months of free coffee at Shot Espresso - Foodism

Expired

ONE OF THE best things about coffee is that, because it's so popular all over the world, many countries have developed their own distinctive brewing styles – and, even better, London's food and drink scene boasts a crop of cafés demonstrating the different styles of coffee from across the globe.
One of these is Shot Espresso, which was set up by three friends wanting to use their Antipodean, Italian and English heritage to make some of the best coffee the city has to offer. It was initially set up in Fulham, but quickly went on to open two more south west London sites, one opposite its original home in bustling Jerdan Place and the other a stone's throw away in Parsons Green.
Shot Espresso's latest and largest site is set to launch this April in the heart of Victoria's brand new development, Verde SW1. Offering artisanal Allpress coffee, Antipodean-style breakfasts, and grab-and-go Italian lunches, the vast 87-cover café will feature a coffee bar, snug seating and outdoor area to dine al fresco.
But Shot Espresso is much more than just a café: it's also a deli and aperitif bar, serving light bites, deli treats, wine and cocktails. Pop in for a coffee, and you could find yourself nibbling on toasted sourdough slathered with Australian favourite Vegemite or New Zealand's beloved Pics peanut butter.
Come evening – at aperitivo hour – you can quench your thirst with a classic Italian spritz and scoff Venetian-style cicchetti (moreish little snacks), like bruschetta, cured meats and aged parmesan.
Whether you're after coffee or cocktails, you're in safe hands with Shot Espresso – and if all the above sounds good to you, enter this competition and you could win free coffee for six months, up to the value of £50, to be redeemed at any of Shot's three sites: Fulham, Parsons Green or Victoria.
