I drink 3 litres of tea a day and you won't believe how many different flavours we sell in Blackpool

Tea Amantes is Latin for 'tea lovers' and owner, Anna Paprzycka, is a self-proclaimed tea lover and drinks around three litres a day.

Anna says: "I love combining flavours and experimenting with tea, both hot and cold. Many teas have truly amazing properties. Some give you energy, others warm you up or support your immune system. They’re not a replacement for medicine, but they can definitely be helpful in many situations. Tea is relaxing, smells beautiful, and creates a moment of calm."

Some of the quirkiest tea varieties they sell are the colour-changing butterfly pea tea, which turns from blue to pink by adding lemon juice. Another favourite is 'blooming tea' where after a few minutes of brewing, a beautiful flower slowly unfolds from a small green ball inside the teapot.

Ahead of National Tea Day on April 21, Anna describes 'Yerba Mate' as her most underrated tea, as it provides a great energy boost. The tea-enthusiast says: "If someone truly loves tea, they know that with a bit of creativity and openness to new tastes, the possibilities are almost endless."

Tea is full of health benefits, especially herbal blends and dried fruit infusions. Hibiscus tea is rich in vitamin C and supports the immune system. Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory, calming, antibacterial, and relaxing properties.

Cold teas can easily replace many store-bought juices that are often full of unhealthy sugars. You simply brew them and let them cool. Tea Amantes also sells a range of gifts for tea-lovers, and has an art gallery which exhibits work from local creatives and hosts workshops and events.
