1,000,000 Tea Tags

Ever wonder what One Million Tea Tags would look like?  Mrs. Miller's class at Good Shepard School began collecting tea tags years and years ago to get to 1 million.  And they achieved this milestone! 

When they reached one million, they thought
Guinness Book of World Records. Guinness, however, wanted one million unique tea tags and since there were duplicates in the pile, sadly they did not qualify. 

So Mr. Miller set out to organize the tea tags and see just how many unique tags they had. He created a huge notebook with pages and pages and more pages of tea tags organized and sorted by company, flavor, colors of tea tags, quotes on the tea tags and however else he could sort and organize. This job took another two years.

Finally, during the Arts Night at Good Shepard School, there was an official, supervised, videotaped, authenticated counting of the individual tea tags to submit to Guinness World Record.

Susanna was part of the official counting process.  The total number of individual and unique tea tags was 9,217.  We have yet to hear back from Guinness. We will keep you posted. We are happy to report that the One Million Tea Tags will be on display at the Pennsylvania Tea Festival, Friday and Saturday, September 28 and 29, 2018.
