CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL TEA DAY WITH A QUIET CUPPA

Friday May 21st is International Tea Day.

“As the nation’s most loved beverage, it’s no wonder that National Tea Day has become a firm fixture in the media calendar”, states National Tea Day, who this year, are honoured to support Mind, the UK’s leading mental health charity, to help bring people together over a cup of tea. Together, they’re raising awareness around the benefits of sharing a cup of tea with friends or family to talk about whatever’s on your mind.

At Quiet Mark, we raise a cuppa to that! Of the 1,000+ Quiet Mark certified products listed on QuietMark.com, Quiet Kettles are the perennial favourite, always attracting more visits than any other of our 60+ categories.

Listed below is a selection of kettles that have passed rigorous acoustic lab tests and achieved Quiet Mark certification. When consumers see the distinctive Q logo on a product, they know it’s amongst the very quietest and most pleasant sounding available on the market.
