T Collectors Magazine 13
1 At the moment of writing this “Hot News” it seems that the winter is behind us. A little bit of sunshine with a temperature of 15 degrees at day and that before half February. Our garden is a colourful blooming garden with crocusses, narcissus, snowdrops, grape hyacinths and other small bulbs. The time is coming near that we can make plans for vacations. In spite of that there are in the Netherlands a lot of exchange meetings before the teabags I’m looking forward to the 6e International tea bag meeting in Prague. This meeting will be held on May 31 in the well-known school the Prof. J.Svejcara Primary School, Entrance B, Mrackova 3090, Modrany, Prague 4. So about a couple of months I will walk again in the beautiful town Prague and visit the meeting. In this number we can read about tea myths and other trivia, about the Kusmi company and in my story is Petra from the Czech Republic telling us about her teabags collection, and Frank from Great Britain telling us his story and the difficulty to exchange teabags in an tea-country like Great Britain and of course a lot of new teabags …...I wish you a lot of fun with reading this magazine. 2.

Teabag catalogue – C part 3 2 CZECH: 3 CZECH: 4 CZECH: GERMANY: 5 GERMANY: AUSTRIA: ITALY: NETHERLANDS: 6 My name is Frank and I am a young 71 years old. I live in England with my wife Jean about 12 miles from Manchester in a town called Bolton. I have many hobbies as I believe that having an interest in any subject is good for the mind and body and so I became interested in the collecting of teabags and the small Company tags attached to the teabags, about 5 or 6 years ago whilst on holiday. I suppose I have only a very small collection of British teabags, but I enjoy collecting them very much. I cannot collect all the flavours as this would prove to be rather expensive as I would have to buy 12 or 24 of the same packet, so I rely upon finding the occasional packet loose, or a friend passing a single example to me from their stock, so for some weeks I don't add to my collection at all. What interested me mostly was the different designs and colours on the packets and soon I realized the enormous variation between the different flavours and companies which existed, in fact I did not realize how many tea flavours were produced. As my interest grew I was able to visit my local supermarket and add a few more packets to my small collection. My biggest problem is that there are no other collectors in England as far as I am aware, except 1 friend with whom I exchange a few spares every few months, so you can imagine my frustration regarding this hobby. I do collect other items such as jam and honey pot lids ( the type you may find in a supermarket or restaurant) and I have a very large collection of coffee creamer lids which are very beautiful, these are mostly from other European countries such as Switzerland and Austria. I have many duplicates of these and would be willing to exchange these for European tea packets if anyone is interested. I posted a request on the internet and in due course Marjoke Rozier contacted me offering help and advice, I was so pleased to make contact with an overseas collector and have enjoyed some correspondence and exchanges with her. It is so pleasing to correspond with other collectors and I hope my story will encourage some of you to contact me via email. Both my wife and myself enjoy collecting so much. We have recently started to collect chocolate wrappers and always look for these when shopping both in England and on holiday overseas. I recently spent 2 weeks in India and came back with some new wrappers. Unfortunately I do not have any collector meetings for teabags in England but I hope one day to visit one of your published venues in Europe, it would be such a pleasure to speak to other collectors (sorry I only speak English), even if I didn't find any teabags, but I'm sure this would not be the case. Anyone reading this article may not be aware That in England up to about 5 years ago, some tea suppliers (mainly Brooke Bond) issued tea cards in their boxes of teabags. These are picture cards in series of, say, 25 or 50 cards showing popular subjects such as sport, transport, wildlife etc. I have collected many of these series and have some duplication which I would like to exchange for teabags if anyone is interested. Well, this is my story. I hope you understand I cannot provide too much stimulation for the serious collectors as my scope is very limited but I hope you find the article interesting. If you wish to contact us you can do so through Marjoke. We will wait for some contact with interest as I am sure you will have some interesting packets to exchange, either for a few limited UK examples or for the other subject matter in this article. You are all very fortunate to be able to meet and exchange with each other. Frank and Jean Wadsworth 7 Hello, My name is Petra, I am nearly nineteen years old and I live in small town Milevsko in Czech Republic. I started collecting teabags, when I was a child (about ten years old), because of nice pictures on bags. Pickwicks with outlined pictures of fruit and plants are the nicest and I wanted to have many different pictures. When I was small, I did not change teabags with other collectors, because I was too small and I could not use Internet. I became the teabags only from my parents, relatives and friends. They brought them for me from other countries. My father works in a Slovenian company, so I have many teabags from Slovenia. Recently I have found web pages of teabag collectors. I was very surprised, how many people in the world collect teabags. I wrote some of them and I changed many teabags with them. I was very happy, when I saw nice teabags from other countries and my collection started to grow up quite quickly. Now I have about thousand teabags and I hope that my collection will grow up in the future.

While consumers of the West desired tea, they were unable to find anything China wanted to trade it for-until they found opium. Marco Polo, 1254-1324 Marco Polo, is the German teabrand of the Franz Kathreiner Nachf. GmbH, Munich & Hamburg company . The tea was named after Marco Polo, who in 1295 brought tea to Europe from Asia for the first time. The first fabrication of tea involves a world-famous traveller who arrived in China with his father and uncle, while he was just an teenager. . Recently, historians have begun questioning the validity of his writings, some even proposing that he did not visit China. His writing tended to be rather stale, mostly recounting conditions of trade, money, risks, and profits. But he also wrote in incredible detail of the birds, animals, plants, and other aspects of nature. However, he did not include fundamentals of Chinese life, such as foot-binding, and the especially suspicious omission of tea. Which was wildly popular in 13th century China. Nearing his death, a minister asked if he'd like to admit that his stories were false. Instead, in his last words Marco muttered, "I did not tell half of what I saw." However, the Western world would soon learn about tea. In fact, it was thanks to Europe's discovery of tea that the world's largest, most powerful monopoly that ever existed was born. The power of the British East India Company, nicknamed "the John Company," derived from the West's unquenchable thirst Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey 1764-1845 The Earl Grey blend is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s. An interesting falsehood of tea is the legendary origin of one of the most popular teas in the world, Earl Grey. The legend says that in 1830, an Englishman named Charles Earl Grey travelled on a diplomatic mission to China. During this time, he risked his life to save the drowning child of a Chinese noble. In return for his act of kindness, the mandarin presented him the recipe for making this tea. However, a few corrections are needed to present this historical record. Firstly, the Chinese have never been black tea drinkers, and were unlikely to have a recipe for Earl Grey. Secondly, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China. Another version of the legend has the son of an Indian Raja being rescued from a tiger by one of Grey's servants. Marjoke Rozier Source: the internet 10 Hamburg, Belgrade and Zagreb. It received a gold medal in Hamburg in 1927 and a gold medal at the Paris Culinary and Gastronomic Exhibition the same year. Business flourished until war was declared in 1939. Viatcheslav Kousmichoff died in 1946 and his son Constantin took over the family firm which had suffered due to the war. After a difficult period, he decided to sell the company which went through ups and downs without developing much for nearly thirty years. Today, the Orebi family has picked up the torch, to carry on the tradition, expand the international scope of this tea firm and bring Kusmi teas to 21st century generations. ( Kusmi shop) The eldest son of a humble Russian peasant family, Pavel Michailovitch Kousmichoff (1840-1908) left his native village at the age of 14 to look for work in St. Petersburg. He was taken on as a delivery boy in a tea store. The manager of this store soon noticed the surprising qualities of this lad, who could neither read nor write, and decided to give him some training. He taught him about the trade and the secrets of the tea blends. When Pavel got married, his boss gave him a small shop as a wedding present. And this is how the P. M. Kousmichoff tea firm was born in 1867. The business prospered and expanded: in 1901, Pavel already owned about ten shops and received a medal making him a freeman of the city of St. Petersburg. Once his eldest son Viatcheslav had finished his education, he started out in London where the company owned an outlet. After the death of his father in 1908, Viatcheslav returned to Russia and picked up the reins of the family business. He expanded it enormously and secured it a prize at the International Exhibition in London. In 1917, this tea firm had no less than 51 shops in all the major Russian cities - Kiev, Moscow, St. Petersburg... When the Russian Revolution began, Viatcheslav transferred part of his fortune to Source: the internet Marjoke Rozier 11 Teabag Catalogue long CGU L'assurance de la satisfaction right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right CHA - is in white letters, taste in black letters backsite: 3 cup and saucers with teapot/ teabag in the middle cup/ 3 á 5 min. no taste red Boldo d.green Camomila l.yellow Carqueja l.blue Chapeu de Couro l.blue Cidreira l.green Erva Doce d.green Espinheira Santa l.blue Flores E Frutas l.blue Ginko Biloba l.blue Hortela l.green Maca orange Maracuja l.blue Mix De Ervas l.blue Pata De Vaca l.blue Porangaba l.blue Quebra Pedra l.blue Sene purple abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart abra Aqui with dart 0 right CHÁS az: Abra Aqui op klep met pijlpunt naar beneden in rood Era Nova l.yellow/l.green Garantia de EN Qualidade Era Nova 0 foil CHAMPION Thé Earl Grey blue same as frontsite 0 foil CHAMPION Thé Braekfast tea classis blend yellow thé selectionne same as frontsite blue blue rose green green infusion Lindebloesem thee Lindebloesem munt thee Perzik zwarte bessen thee Verbena thee Verbena Munt thee same as frontsite same as frontsite same as frontsite same as frontsite same as frontsite Thee met citroenaroma thee met Vanille-aroma groene thee met munt same as frontsite same as frontsite same as frontsite 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 blue and green Tevredenheid verzekerd natural lemon flavour CHAMPION 2 kleuren 0 0 0 0 0 foil foil foil foil foil Tilleul Tilleul Menthe Peche Cassis Verveine Verveine Mente 0 0 0 foil foil foil CHAMPION / 2 kleuren met theepot en kopje Thé aromatisé au citron yellow Thé aromatisé a la Vanille orange Thé Vert À~La Menthe green 12 0 0 0 0 mid.lg mid.lg mid.lg mid.lg Charles Towne Earl Grey Green Tea Irish Breakfast Martha's Raspberry Tea grey green orange purple 0 0 long long CHE organic maté Pure Green Maté Roasted Maté green brown 0 net Weight 2.2.
