‘A-R-T’ and ‘T-E-A’: two very small words with a big connection. Let’s not get off to a confused start… I’m not trying to tell you that the contents of your kitchen cupboard are auction-worthy, that your office tea slave is the next Picasso or that your morning mugful is a masterpiece in the making. Nor am I launching a fierce campaign to see a soggy teabag win the Nobel Prize for Art. I simply wish to draw your attention to the generally unappreciated value placed upon the tea leaf in the world of art. Why am I doing this? Hidden amongst the shadows of great masterpieces and swarms of magnus opera lay paintings and posters, wondrous and breathtaking, depicting the act of drinking tea. A patron of the tea world, I implore you to follow me into the misty shadows of the art world as I shed light on those forgotten gems, torch in hand. Read more…
Of all the UK’s food award schemes, GREAT TASTE is the most important. Completely independent and uncompromisingly rigorous, it is trusted by retailers, buyers and consumers. GREAT TASTE is to speciality food and drink what MICHELIN is to fine dining. Read more…

Add this to the list of things science can’t explain, like the Taos hum or Naga fireballs. I’m an insurance adjuster. We’re a jaded, thick-skinned lot, and no matter what names you call us or legal action you threaten, we get all our crying done the first month on the job. We chomp animal crackers while we crunch numbers, and hold Dum Dum suckers in our cheeks like Kojak, white stick hanging from lips all day long. Sometimes we make you listen to You Can’t Always Get What You Want on the Muzak while you wait on hold for us to decide your economic fate. We take our coffee thick and dark, the most hardcore among us chain smoking between cases of Diet Coke or bourbon at our desks.
Christmas 2012 Advent Calendar
We’re feeling very philosophical this lazy autumn Sunday afternoon at ‘le Chateau’ (aka Chateau Rouge Teas home). Enjoying a delicious pot of Earl Grey Leaf Tea in one of our new glass tea pots and pondering over some beautiful dreamy poetry thanks to Laura…
Maybe this has happened to you… Someone loves coffee. You love tea. You want to be more than co-hot-drinkers. If only your “someone” would share your sipping. It’s a hard road, to convert someone from one hot-drink preference to another. Not that you would presume to try such a thing. But what if you had a moment of naughty intention, just for the sake of… you know, bonding over loose leaves?
We have had a couple of our customers ask about our Rooibos Vanilla wanting to know what the vanilla is and how it is made. The Chateau Rouge Rooibos Vanilla tea is 100% organic; so all ingredients need to be 100% natural and organic. We use one of the best vanillas in the world, from Madagascar where it is grown totally organic. Read more…
We would like to congratulate the 2012 London Olympics Competition Winners. Your prizes our on the way to you shortly!
We would like to also thank everyone who entered and made the games at Chateau Rouge, that little bit more enjoyable. While we couldn’t enter ourselves we ran tallies, and pleased to say our winners came out on top.
It’s Olympics fever, and with the main event kicking off this evening you can’t help but get excited! Even the most sceptical amongst us is beginning to warm up to the fact that this is one of the most exciting events in the world, and the fact that it only happens every four years is even more exciting. This year London is playing host to the games promising an event like never before, and being a tea drinking nation, to celebrate we thought to join in the festivities with a special competition of our own…
