Tea Calendar by Halssen & Lyon | Hamburg (GER)

With the end of the year upon us we look forward to a new year and plans ahead. With a thought towards a new diary on the wish list we appreciate this tea calendar by Hamburg based tea merchants Halsesen & Lyon. In collaboration with local creative agency from Kolle Rebbe, the tea calendar is created from thinly pressed tea leaves that allow you to savour the day. A modern and sleek design, the calendar represents the 365 days of the year with unique flavours, making for a fresh brew daily, simply tear off the page of the current day, add hot water and enjoy.

Teaball by Freud | London (UK)

We champion working hard however we also appreciate taking a break are often undervalued, it’s important to balance work and rest. Taking a break doesn’t always mean to stop working, it’s often an opportunity to think aloud, gather thoughts and to nurture ideas. We find regular and spontaneous caffeine fixes maintain our daily motivation, which is why taking the time to brew a nice cup of tea makes complete sense. It makes us ponder, where would a builder be without his tea breaks?

Ask any tea aficionados they’ll join in unity to praise there aren’t many things in life that are more pleasurable than a good brew. Which allows us to highlight the Teaball (V: 1Litre, H: 14.7cm) by Freud, a smart and contemporary interpretation of the traditional teapot. Designed in England and crafted from stainless steel, this beautiful teapot’s construction includes a comfortable wooden handle and drip-proof spout. Available from Makers and Brothers (Dublin, UK).
