Here’s something to perk you up – a competition with a gorgeous prize kindly donated by the fabulous Lahloo Tea. Nice eh?
We have one of their delicious new tea taster sets up for grabs, PLUS one of their must-have infusers which will extract every drop of goodness from the tea leaves.

Each taster set includes five tins of approx 10g each of Lahloo’s favourite teas – Lahloo Breakfast, Dragon Pearls, Guricha Green, Orchid Oolong and Snow Jewel White tea. You will be able to make at least ten cups of tea from each tin, and the Guricha will make up to 25 cups. These taster sets retail at £6.50 and are an affordable way to discover and enjoy lots of cups of gourmet artisan tea of the finest quality, sourced from family-owned small tea gardens around the world.

Reader discount: If you aren’t lucky enough to win the prize, Lahloo have generously offered Penny Golightly readers a 15% discount on orders from their beautiful site. To take up this offer, simply enter ‘tdpgl’ at the checkout.
So, on to the competition. All you have to do is read the following question and leave your correct answer in the comments box below.
Question: Which area of China does Snow Jewel tea come from?
For a hint, why not visit the Lahloo website and find out more about their tea taster set?
Good luck everyone!

Today marks the first tea competition of the year, and we have been absolutely spoiled rotten by the gorgeous people who run the beautiful ATTIC Tea shop.

ATTIC Tea know pretty much everything there is to know about good quality China teas, and if you live near Bristol then I highly recommend that you get yourself down to their tea rooms pronto.
Everyone else can have a browse around their online emporium and be wowed by its loveliness. They’re also worth following on Twitter (@ATTIC_Tea) for announcements about new products and discount codes.

So, on to our competition, and what a fantastic prize we have on offer. One lucky winner will get six packets of top quality tea, one of each type from the ATTIC Collection. This includes:
- Silver Needle white tea
- Dragonwell green tea
- Flowering scented teaballs
- Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong tea
- Tippy Yunnan black tea
- Tuo Cha pu-erh tea
To be in with a chance of winning this competition, all you have to do is answer the following question correctly and leave it in the comments box below. Closing date Wednesday 14th July at noon.
ATTIC Tea have created some very cute and innovative tea pouches so that you can take your favourite loose leaf tea with you wherever you go. What net weight of tea does their Dragonwell pouch contain?
Good luck everyone!
T&Cs: Competition only open to UK residents, sorry. Winner will be randomly chosen from correct entries on 14th July 2010.
