This advertisment for ice tea in the window of a tea shop/teahouse in the very city center recently caught my eyes because of its soft colours and retro design.
Today is an important day for Great Britain: Prince William of Wales and Kate (Catherine) Middleton are getting married. On this occasion my favourite tea shop is offering a special choice of british products, amongst others of course royal wedding cups and a handmade teapot (for € 89,- you can have this single copy).
Today Austria is celebrating the "Day of the Tea". According to a study of the Austrian Tea Institute one third of the Austrians is regularly drinking tea - women because they want to maintain their slim figure, men because of its stimulatory effect. I don´t know to what extend the general public is aware of this special day, but as tea is my favourite beverage (I´m drinking it literally at any time of the day), I have to mention it here. And it´s a good reason to show you a part of the rich selection of teapots in my favourite tea shop.
As I told you in the previous post, "Haas & Haas" also sells specialities. At the moment they are offering various products made of Wachauer apricots (The Wachau is a beautiful valley in Lower Austria): nectar, jam, sauce, spread, sparkling wine, liqueur.
I showed you already one of the windows of "Haas & Haas" tea shop right behind St. Stephen´s Cathedral. Now here´s a photo of the interior, more precisely the array of the teas. As you can see in the center of the photo, they are currently promoting ice teas (btw I like the colours of the wrappings). The shop doesn´t only sell teas and tea accessoires, but also coffee, jams, honey, chocolate, confiserie, specialities, room perfumes and dishes.
