Try our new Joe Tea drink and chips range

Joe Tea is a small company who produce awesome teas and chips which perfectly compliment each other. Not only are the flavours fantastic, but the packaging is pretty cool too - adorned with bright colours and pickup trucks.

These have just arrived at Stateside HQ from the States, and you can buy them online here or in our Aldershot and Guildford stores. Read more about the company below.

JOE TEA was started to do one thing - make awesome tasting teas. During the Summer of 1998, I started selling JOE TEA in Hoboken and all over small beach towns on the Jersey Shore. At first, the store owners were reluctant - then they tasted the tea. One by one, we opened up accounts and JOE TEA started to flow. By the fall, JOE TEA expanded to many of the better independent food retailers around the New York Metro Area. Each day I loaded up my truck with JOE TEA and went to new towns and in doing so, created routes throughout NJ, NY, CT and Eastern Pennsylvania. And we've kept busy over the last few years. Along the way, JOE TEA came to be known at "The Original Off Road Tea".

If you've tried any of these new products we'd love to know what you think - let us know in the comments.

Add some marshmallow to your mug!

We’ve been huge fans of Plush Puffs and their range of gourmet and giant marhsmallows for a while now, and their latest creations are no disappointment. Mug Toppers are designed to fit on top of your hot chocolate/coffee/any other hot drink and gradually melt. Plush Puffs say: “With each sip you taste the perfect combination of your yummy drink and sweet, creamy all-natural marshmallow, through the last drop.”

With the typically cool English summer we’re currentyly having, we’re sure these will be a welcome addition to all those warm drinks! Grab either Peppi-mint or Vanilla Bean Mug Toppers here.

Who says you shouldn’t play with your food?

When we brought back a Marshmallowville marshmallow gun from the States it wasn’t long before the office floor was littered with marshmallows! The great thing about these guns is that the marshmallows don’t really do any damage and they’re edible! You can choose from a marshmallow blower, classic shooter and even a bow and mallow! Check out the video below for a demo, and grab yours here.
