Time for Tea
Sunday Times – Style 23 October 2005
There is something about the change of seasons that can make one far too twitchy to sleep. If you have problems nodding off, give up on the leaping sheep and try a tub of Sleepy Tea from Today Was Fun – it deservedly won Best New Food Product at this year’s Organic Industry Awards. Containing lemon balm, lime flowers and lavender, Sleepy Tea is so soporific that I rarely get to the end of the mug. The rainbow-coloured Teastack contains 20g of Sleepy Tea, along with three other organic tisanes, Happiness, Inspiration and Friendship.

Daily Express 14 July 2005
There’s nothing more quintessentially English than a nice cup of tea. But if you fancy something different from your afternoon Earl Grey, look no further than Today Was Fun’s new Teastack, which contains four organic teas that provide a delicious and uplifting cuppa. Try the Happiness Tea with hibiscus flower and rosemary to put a smile on your face or relax with Sleepy Tea which is laced with lemon balm, lime flower and lavender. Bliss.

High Teas
Mail on Sunday
NIGHT&DAY Magazine July 3 2005
I don’t usually like food products that try to be clever and funny, but the organic herbal teas from Tea and Philosophy get away with it because the end result tastes so good. Choose from Happiness (hibiscus, rosemary and cardamom), Friendship (marigold flower) and Inspiration (lemongrass, orange and peppermint).

Perchance to Dream
The Times – Saturday April 16 2005
Need a calming cuppa to help
you drift away but bored of camomile and don’t like Horlicks? New Sleepy Tea could be the thing to send you off on a good night’s slumber. Made entirely from organic lemon balm, lime flower and lavender, this new blend from the Tea and Philosophy range has a soothing scent and a subtle fresh taste that seems more natural than many herbal teas. If the tea doesn’t lull you to sleep with a smile on your face, the packet’s instructions to “put your work and worries in a drawer” just might. Although at £5 for 40g it is less good if those worries are financial.

Spirit and Destiny May 2005

Tea for Two
Pregnancy Magazine – February 2005
While away the final weeks of pregnancy with a cup of Expectancy Tea, £5. The blend of raspberry leaf and peppermint gives you time to ponder what to expect of your new arrival – as well as helping ease the physical pains of pregnancy, of course. Fancy another cuppa?

Tea forTwo
Pregnancy and Birth Magazine
February 2005
P&B love organic Expectancy Tea – the packaging is lovely, the sentiments on the outside made us smile. And the blend of raspberry leaf and peppermint tea is delicious. Raspberry leaf tea isn't recommended until the third trimester, but it may aid uterine contractions and help prepare for labour if taken in the eight weeks before birth.

Tea and Philosophy
Food and Travel October 2005
Coffee may be the thinkers’ drink, but everyone knows true wisdom is found in a cuppa. Today was Fun are the brains behind The Tea and Philosophy stack, a set of herbal teas aiming to prove just that. Four compartments feature blends named for feelings; Happiness is only a kettle away.

Towering Infusions
You Magazine Sunday Mail 17 July 2005
This is a tea caddy. Well, a tisane caddy. New-agey in the concept, the names actually conceal nice loose-leaf organic mixes, including a lemon balm, lime blossom and lavender ‘sleepy’ that does promise a doze (and it’s just won best organic product of 2005). But the ‘spoonful of this for a cup now; spoonful of that for later’ stack of tins is a fun object we would like on the desk.

Tea Time
Junior Pregnancy & Baby May 2005
Imbibing raspberry leaf from 32 weeks of pregnancy is thought to shorten labour and provide a rich source of iron, calcium and B vitamins. Used for centuries for its medicinal properties, some say it inhibits post-birth bleeding and promotes a plentiful supply of breast milk. You can take raspberry leaf in tablet, tincture or as a loose-leaf tea. Try Expectancy Tea £5 a delightful blend of organic raspberry leaf and peppermint.

House Beautiful May 2005
Make tea-time more enticing with herbal teas, £5 each from Today was Fun. Choose from Happiness, Friendship and Expectancy (for mothers-to-be). My favourite is Happiness a tasty blend of hibiscus flower, rosemary and cardamom.
