Guinness World Record for The Largest Tea Bag Cover Collection

Tea is the most popular beverage after water. But still the industry is suffering from lack of innovation. One would argue that the “Tea Bag” is the only significant innovation in tea industry. I am quite certain that most of my fellow tea lovers are not fans of conventional filter paper tea bags. By the mean time, As CPH Post had reported, Freja Louise Kristiansen, a 16-year-old Danish student from Aarhus, who has not only smashed through barrier after barrier to surpass a Guinness world record, but has broken it 114 times in the last year.

Kristiansen has broken her own Guinness World Record for the largest collection of tea bag covers, increasing it from 1,023, which was documented in June 2018, to 1,237.

This young girl started collecting tea bags in 2010 when she got inspired by her grandmother’s hobby of making rosettes out of them – clearly creative genius for the unexpected runs in her genes.

Later, when she started to lose track of how many she had, her older brothers helped her by listing the collection on Excel spreadsheets.

In 2017 that the record was only 743 (one of our staff members claims to have more than that in his top drawer), and that she was within 100 with her collection of 650.

She had nonchalantly told TV2. “When I found out I was so close, I thought I might as well take the record,”

AC Perchs Thehandel, a tea store located in Aarhus, assisted her to count and archive them, and now Kristiansen keeps her collection in three different folders, all marked in alphabetical order.

“People have been helpful when they have been travelling. For example, my older siblings bought some tea bags from abroad,” she said.

I don’t think she will like too much publicity on my site, since my fellow tea lovers will try to beat her after seeing this news update. Anyway, Tea with Nipun would like to take this opportunity to Congratulate Her for This Great Achievement ! Keep It Up ! Cheers !
