Celebrate Chinese New Year With Tetley

You don’t want to miss this party! On 18 February, 1.3 billion people in China and around 160,000 Chinese residents in the UK begin a 15-day celebration of Chinese New Year. A truly global celebration, Chinese New Year includes many centuries-old customs.

Red envelopes containing money are given to unmarried adults and children and there is the ritualistic serving of green tea on the ninth day to pay respect to an honoured person.

But there is also more widespread drinking of green tea throughout the celebrations (and, of course, throughout the year), making New Year's drinks a rather healthier option in China than they tend to be in the UK!

And now you can join in the celebrations and welcome the 'Year of the Pig ' with a cup of authentic Tetley Green Tea. With leaves gently steamed to preserve the delicate flavour of the Camellia Sinensis plant it comes from, Tetley Green Tea gives a great taste of this ancient Chinese tradition. Tetley green teas are naturally rich in antioxidants, hydrating like water and without any calories or fat whatsoever.

If you want to extend your New Year celebrations, remember there are four different varieties from Tetley to try. As well as Green Tea Pure, there is Tetley Green Lemon which is a perfect pick me up, Tetley Green Mint with extra zest thanks to its real mint and even a Decaffeinated Green tea. Whichever one you choose, you'll open a treasure-trove of flavour and benefits to your health. So go out, wish your friends and family good health, good fortune and prosperity - and share with them a cup of Tetley Green Tea.
