Children and Tea
For generations, British children have been allowed to drink tea, and in the early 1900's, tea time in the nursery was a very special meal. Today's children also love tea - they love the beverage itself and they especially enjoy the ritual surrounding its preparation - the special small teapots, the addition of milk and honey, and the small cookies they are allowed to have with their tea. Children also love the special time with their parents who have taken the time to make and serve the tea and to enjoy it, along with pleasant conversation about their day.
A cup of tea does contain a small amount of caffeine – very small compared to the equivalent amount of a cola – type beverage. However, if you wish your children to avoid caffeine all together simply serve them herbal tea or naturally processed decaffeinated tea. In recent years, more and more children have celebrated their birthdays with a special tea party for friends. Serve the tea in special teapots with small, sturdy mugs or cups. Tiny sandwiches, small frosted cookies and fruit salad are ideal accompaniments to the pots of tea.
Davidson's has long produced a light and lovely herbal, caffeine-free Children's blend, with real organic dried honey in each bag, adding just the right sweetness. This tea enjoys a special following of parents and children alike. Back to Top
