In the UK we are lucky enough to start carefully easing social restrictions, with some non-essential businesses opening their doors and greater opportunities to spend time with the people we love. The pandemic has not ended yet, but we can take this opportunity to pause and reflect on the past year, all the challenges we have faced and the things we have missed. It is the perfect moment to indulge in and celebrate that most sacred of rituals – the cup of tea.

Steeped in tradition but as unique as every person who drinks it, tea is available in a whole world of variations. Whether you go for teapots or mugs, loose leaf or teabags, left in or a quick dip, no sugars or three, a splash of milk or as-it-comes, the value of a good cuppa is something we can all agree on.

However you choose to celebrate National Tea Day this year, a cup of tea says it is time for a break, gives you the space to focus, and gives you the perfect excuse to stop and have a chat. With everything that is going on, it is more important than ever that we take this time to check in with people, listen to each other and talk about how we are doing. What could be more refreshing than that? A cup of tea perhaps…

From tea infusers, strainers and teaspoons to your new favourite mug, make sure you have everything you need for the perfect cuppa and check out the SQ Professional catalogue for our full range of products.
