Woolly Sheep Tea Cosy and Tea Set

A charming and funny present for any tea lover. The Set contains a 100% wool handmade sheep tea cosy, produced by Kenana Knitters in Kenya, as well as a box of Teadirect black tea (80 tea bags).

About the Producers:

The teas are sourced from fair trade producers in central Tanzania, south western Uganda and central Kenya. Tea is an important crop for many people in the region but tea prices are so low that many growers live in grinding poverty. Tea bushes take several years to mature and simply growing something else is often not an option for these specialist farmers. Furthermore, tea farmers are very dependent on the black tea factories that process their tea. The green leaves must be processed with 24 hours of being picked or the quality becomes very poor. This leads to unfair practices with tea factories driving down prices knowing that farmers have no choice but to sell.

Kenana Knitters started in 1998 in Njoro, Kenya. The primary object being to help rural women find some much needed income, utilizing their spinning and knitting skills. The group buys homespun wool produced locally, the knits it into toys, clothing and other accessories.

Presso Coffee Maker – Non Electric Coffee Maker

Fed up of shopping for your coffee at the local chain coffee store? Presso is the world’s simplest espresso coffee maker.

Made using eco-friendly and recyclable materials, this stylish espresso maker will revolutionise the way you experience your favourite coffee.

How do you make a great tasting coffee from Presso?

1. Make sure you use clean fresh water that has not been re boiled.

2. Use coffee grounds suitable for espresso machines (not too large or the coffee will be weak and thin. Not too fine or it will be very hard to push the arms down)

3. For maximum cream try overfilling the cylinder with hot water to increase the pressure. Raise the arms and squeeze down firmly stopping once the espresso is out. Catch the remainder in a second cup and throw this away.

4. Tamp the grounds down firmly with the Presso spoon tamp.

5. After filling Presso with hot water raise the handles and then let the water infuse into the grinds in for 15 to 25 seconds.

6. Push the handles downwards in a firm smooth motion and hold them at the end of the stroke (curl your fingers around the base legs and wait for all the water to be extracted.)
7. Sometimes a second repetition may be needed to extract all the moisture from the coffee.

8. Enjoy!
