There is no better way to start off August than by announcing the winner of the final round of Trivia Fridays and the tea trivia champion with the most correct postings over the last four weeks!
But before the announcement, we just want to say thank you to all those who participated. We hope you had as much fun as we did and learned something new about tea. Please stay tuned to future blog postings with tea-inspired topics as well as more contests!
Now to reveal the winner of the final round of Trivia Friday! With the fastest posting time and the correct answers, the champion: Lena Finch! Congrats on the big win, especially since you were a two time runner up!
And with three of the four weeks of Trivia Fridays answered correctly, making her the champion of the most collectively correct weeks of trivia: Morgana!
Another big hip hip horray for our two winners! We hope you enjoy your $50 to our tea shop.
Tea Trivia Answers:
- Oolong are really in a category of their own! And they are actually in between a green and a black tea because of the partial oxidation.
- Imperial Gunpowder (Chinese Gunpowder or Gunpowder)
- High tea is a fairly substantial meal and is generally served at 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. It features a hot dish, hefty sandwiches, scones, and heavy cakes. By contrast, afternoon tea is traditionally served around 4:00 p.m. This is a lighter meal — a satisfying “snack” between lunch and dinner — includes scones, thin sandwiches (often with bread crusts trimmed away), and biscuits.
- The invention is attributed to the 1904 world’s fair where Richard Blechynden was attempting to give away samples of hot tea, but because it was so hot not many people took them. So he dumped ice into the tea and got a much more positive response.
- Tapioca.
