FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #4
What is High Tea?
We’ve all heard of the English pastime with ornate Teacups, delectable finger sandwiches and scrumptious miniature cakes called Afternoon Tea. High Tea is not so different. Enjoying a High Tea is more of a social event than a specific type of Tea. It became popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries among Britain's working class as an affordable option to the socialite events. During this period, it often consisted of “heavier” foods such as meat pies and boiled potatoes. The meal was then washed down with a strong cup of sweet tea, also known as Builder's Tea. Builders Tea is a strong, thick, sweet made Tea with milk and often multiple teaspoons of sugar.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #5
What is Boujee tea? What does it mean?
So, we took a creative liberty with the french language. “Boujee” is a southern slang pronunciation of the French word bourgeois. It can also be spelled "bougie" like the hit record "Bad and Bougie" by Hiphop group Migos. The "boujee" variation used by Migos commonly refers to middle-class or upwardly mobile people. A fun excerpt from the Urban Dictionary defines 'bougie' as thus: “Aspiring to be a higher class than one is." While there's no actual tea called Boujee tea, Nothin But A Tea Thang does aspire to become your tea of choice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #7
Can You Drink Tea When Pregnant?
Yes, but in strict moderation. It’s important to note that the primary concern of drinking Tea during pregnancy is its caffeine content. Pregnant individuals should limit their intake to 200-mg of caffeine per day - the equivalent of two cups of fresh Coffee. Another option, of course, is caffeine-free Tea. Bear in mind that some infusions come with their individual side effects. Ultimately you should speak with a medical professional before all sip worthy shenanigans.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #8
Can Dogs Drink Tea?
Now and again, we love to treat our pets to scraps under the table. Whether it’s the ends from smoked meats or overhyped sides, the occasional leftover rarely does any harm to our furry friends. In small quantities. Tea is also safe for the family pet. Just be sure not to serve it hot. The Caffeine in Tea could pose a risk to dogs if they drink too much. This is because caffeine elevates the heart rate, as well as having the potential to be toxic. Of course, when in doubt, it’s always best to consult a vet or another professional before giving your pets Tea of any variety.
