Friday Fun – A Speciali-Tea For You!!
posted at 10:05am, 27 Nov 09 by Alex [ 32 comments ]
Happy Friday everyone!
Last week we asked you to name a song with Coffee or Tea in the title and had some great responses. This week we’ve decided to take things one step further and ask you to stimulate your creative-a-tea (sorry)!
Simply take a well known song, or band and adapt it so that it’s name is relevant to Cafédirect – Here are a few ideas to get you started;
- Sweet Chai of Mine – Guns’n’Roses
- It had to be Machu Picchu – Frank Sinatra
- Americano Pie – Don McLean
- Espresso Yourself - Madonna
- A Speciali-Tea for You – Kylie
As usual, the rules are simple:
Post the name of the song / band in the comment box of this blog post.
The most creative or interesting entry will be chosen by judges from Cafédirect and announced on Monday on our blog.
The winner will win a Coffee Lovers Treat pictured left - containing one pack each of our 100% Arabica, gourmet organic Mayan Palenque and Machu Picchu coffees, two classic Cafédirect mugs and a Cafédirect Jute Bag, perfect to use and reuse when you’re shopping or out and about.
Prizes can only be sent to a UK or Ireland postal address.
You have until 5.30 pm today to enter….
And remember, if you’re not lucky enough to win this most excellent prize, you can now buy our whole range online – free Delivery until end of November for orders over £15, just quote FSCAFE15 at the checkout!

Great Friday Fun!!
Thanks for all your contributions, some inspired, others insipid (no names Pete – Lapsang Sou-song!!); marks for ‘effort’ nonetheless!
It’s been a tough time choosing a winner, but on a split points decision, our panel of expert judges have gone for Julie’s contribution of “Wake me up before you Cocoa – Wham” to win the excellent prize of a Coffee Lovers Treat – the rest of you can buy it online from http://www.cafedirect.co.uk/shop !
There is a bonus prize to Toyologist for the excellent (but late) contribution from Lionel Rich-Tea.
Other songs that didn’t make it were
- Don’t Froth Me Now – Queen
- Suspicious Grinds – Elvis
- I herbal-tea’d it through the grapevine – Marvin Gaye
- Please don’t tea’ leaf me – Pink
- If you’re going to San Cris-to-bal – Scott McKenzie
The list goes on….
Check back on Friday for more fun!
