We have just completed our first weekend of trade. Carlisle, my nizzle, was the destination. And it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We got lots of interest in and recommendations for the tea house. We learnt of teas we have never even heard of. And met some wonderful people. Three areas of life that people are guaranteed to be lovely - Tea People, Bee People, and Market People. I would like to add Beardy People also, but not enough scientificy research has gone into that.
Market graft is tough, and has left us all a bit spent. Especially as we have been bagging allll day again in preparation for Wednesday at Newcastle market. But it's a nice tired. One that makes you fall asleep as soon as our head hits the pillow, and not wake up 'til your annoyingly soothing alarm tone starts a gently crescendo-ing 'til you can ignore it not longer and have to start the getting up procedure.
Please, Newcastle-ers, come and see us on Wednesday or Saturday or Sunday. We'll be around Grainger Street. Hot chai, and 50 odd kinds of tea, all served with something resembling a smile, depending on how rainy/bollock freezing it is.
There will be some pics up, but i am not the one blessed with beholding the images.
Lots of love, oh blog readers.

Hello! I spoke to one of you guys in Carlisle. I suggested looking at a Cafe called Foxe's. I take it you didn;t have time to. Next time you are around you should pop in. :)
I am not sure which one of you I spoke to, but I was the person with the starbucks cup.
I shall hope to hear from you soon! Twas nice meeting you. -xXXX@XXXx-
Hello Anonymous! You spoke to me-S.Quizzle aka Sam Quilliam aka the youngest brother. Thankyou so much for your advice to check out Foxe's. Unfortunately we did not have time but the next visit to the Carlsile area we will be sure to check it out. I am glad you had a skeet at our blog. What is your real name Mrs Anony Mous? xxx
Hello, spoke to you in Carlisle and bought some Himalayan Blend off you. Nice tea - just enough black to take the edge of the first flush :) Have to say though that those bag things you gave me are pants. Maybe useful for fine powdery tea but for proper sized leaves they just get filled up and there is no movement in them. Rubbish. Thrown them away. When you get your website done will you be doing online sales?

Hello J! I am glad you enjoyed your Himalayan Blend! I am sorry to hear you do not like the DIY teabags. We have not experienced this problem ourselves but would you advise us in the future to recommend using 2 bags for larger brews with such a tea? Thankyou for checking out our website and blog. We will have an online shop in the not-too-distant future where you can order all the tea you desire and as little of those bags as you desire! Thanks again!!
