Tetley Tea: “Tea Folk” [01:00]# Anyone who has been following UK tea brand Tetley’s over the longer term will
recall the Tetley Tea Folk, who were used to advertise the product up until 2001. The cartoon characters were also available in the form of figures that could be collected on cups, mugs, etc. Well, 2010 marks their return, which is celebrated in this nostalgic spot: after being allowed out of their dusty old cupboard, the tea folk take a look around to see what has been happening at Tetley’s over the past nine years – to discover a highly modern company with many new varieties of tea. Despite the long absence, the folk are immediately recognized by company staff. Heartwarming! Super: “That’s better. That’s Tetley.”
