Subject: TGIF - it's been a brew-tiful week!☕

Helloooooo thereeee People!


This week we celebrated International Tea Day!☕ Whether you're a fan of a soothing iced tea or a decadent hot chai latte, tea should celebrated in all its glory!😜


💡Did you know?

Tea was introduced in Mauritius by French settlers in the early 19th century. They brought tea plants from China and India to the island, laying the foundation for Mauritius to become one the world's renowned tea-producing regions.


Oh and by the way, you can give your loose leaf tea 🍃 a second life by repurposing it creatively. They make excellent compost material, enriching the soil with nutrients and improving its texture ✨. So, don't let those tea leaves go to waste - there's a world of possibilities beyond the teapot!😏
