With Father's Day in less than two weeks, I thought it would be nice to put together a Father's Day gift guide.  Being a dad myself, I've based this around what I would be happy to receive if my son decided to buy me something tea related or what I would buy for my dad for Father's Day.

World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5th June and has been since 1974.  Its purpose is to engage governments, businesses and citizens to think about positive change for global ecosystems.

As a business we are aware that every time we bring in a shipment of tea, boil a kettle and even run our computers we have a carbon footprint.  However lots of people around the world rely on tea to earn a living and survive, so we need to find a balance.

One of the things I love about summer is the amazing fresh strawberries picked from the garden.  This was the inspiration behind one of PekoeTea's best selling hand blended green teas - Scottish Summer Fruits.

This week we are starting a packaging free weighing out service for visitors to our tea shop in Edinburgh.  Our 20 best selling teas will be available weighed out for you to refill your own container, helping to reduce plastic waste.  What's more, we will be giving a £1 off the total price of each tea purchased packaging free (minimum purchase of 50g for the discount).
