Would you like to make more time for your family? It's in the little things. Drinking tea together and going through the day ensures more quality time.
Better band The Dutch drink an average of three cups of tea a day. It's not just fun to drink those cups together; 70 percent of the children and 80 percent of the parents think that drinking tea together improves social bonding.
Open the communication channels
The social bond is important confirms Psychologist Pieternel Dijkstra:'A good bond between parent and child is crucial for a healthy development of the child. But in the hectic pace of everyday life, there are often very few moments when people really stop to think about each other. It's important to just catch up, about small things. That keeps the communication channels open. If a child is troubled by something, you will find out. You can catch up in many ways and a cup of tea from school is a typical Dutch example of this.'
Tea with a mild taste
The Dutch prefer not to drink too strong tea. We usually let the tea steep for less than 30 seconds, instead of the recommended three minutes. As of this week, Pickwick will therefore have the Mild Black variant on the shelves. The blend consists of 50 percent black tea and 50 percent fermented oolong tea, which gives the tea a light color and a soft taste. Recommended price:€1.49.
