Tea fact:
The UK imports around 160 thousand tonnes of tea per year, consuming 165 million cups per day. That’s a thirst- quenching 62 billion cups every year.

Most of us love a chat over a cuppa, don’t we? This map of Twitter tea chatter is automatically refreshing every 15 minutes – can you spot your last tweet?!

New evidence shows that tea really does calm you down when you’re in a spot of bother, or a ‘tea-mergency’.

We’re currently searching Twitter to find people who are in need of a cuppa. Our favourite tweets will be rewarded with a box of Direct Line’s new Tea-mergency Tea or if you’re really lucky, a luxury afternoon tea for two at the Ritz.
