South Africans are invited to explore the world without leaving home… by simply putting the kettle on! From traditions and languages to everyday habits, each country brings its own unique identity – and tea is no exception. One of the simplest ways this cultural richness is experienced daily is by enjoying a cup of tea, widely considered one of the world’s most recognised shared rituals.
“Tea is one of the most universal beverages in the world, but the way it’s enjoyed differs beautifully from country to country,” says Candice Sessions, Marketing Manager for Tetley. “From its origins in China, tea has travelled across generations and continents, with each culture shaping its own traditions, flavours, and rituals. That’s what makes tea so special; it’s global, yet deeply personal.”
Bringing these traditions closer to home, Tetley’s wide range of teas allows South Africans to experience a world of flavour in a single cupboard. From bold black teas and aromatic chai blends to refreshing green teas and modern matcha-inspired options, each cup offers a sensory journey to a different part of the world.
“Through Tetley, we can sample an assortment of international flavours and cultures from the comfort of our homes, while being transported to different countries through the sensorial journey of tea!” notes Sessions. To celebrate this, she has shared 5 key teas, along with their origins.
