Tea Selection

• English Cuppa

  Something stronger than the traditional English breakfast tea. An unorthodox nutty blend that is robust enough for milk or cream. (Black tea)

• Earl Grey 1833

  Uses Bergamot oil instead of the classical synthetic lemon flavour. Added hint of red, blue and white cornflowers for added floral notes. (Black tea)

• Venetian Rose

  Black tea from China & Ceylon with the delicacy of fine rose buds. A delightful alternative that can be enjoyed with or without milk. (Black tea)

• Orange Rooibos

  A blend of the finest organic rooibos, infused with natural pieces of orange. Zesty, tangy, light & fruity, this infusion will certainly lift your spirits. (Infusion)

• Vanilla Chai

  Chai is made up of ginger, cardamom, bruised pink & black pepper. To soften the warm spices, vanilla, cornflower and rooibos are added producing this amazing chai concoction. (Infusion)

• Jasmin Chung Hao

  Produced in Fujian and was originally selected for the Chinese Emperors Imperial Court. Green tea with silver coloured buds. (Green tea)

• Mint rose

  Crisp Peppermint with soothing Rose Buds. A refreshing blend. Clean, calming and gentle. (Infusion)

• Goji Berry & Cranberry

  A blend that is rich, sweet and clean. Delicious, fresh and lingering. Cranberry pieces, Goji Berries, Kiwi bits, rosehip, sea buckthorn berries, pomegranate blossom, ginseng root, apricot bits and mallow blossoms added to Green Rooibos. (Infusion)

• Strawberries in Summer

  We asked our tea friends to help choose some tea for r Summer. This organic fruit tea won hands down. Strawberries in Summer is a delicious mix of apple, hibiscus us, orange, blackberry leaf, raspberries and strawberries. We know we say this about them all, but this really is gorgeous! (Infusion)

• Elderflower & Ginger

  A delicious and crisp blend. The strength of ginger root, cardamom, cinnamon and bruised pepper juxtaposed with delicate elderberry, floral elderflower and mallow blossom. Powerful and mild all at once! (Infusion)

• Honey & Orchid

  The leaf is baked deeply, and then twisted gently by hand. Dark, elegant and rich in colour, Honey Orchid Oolong produces a smooth and clear orange liquor of the very highest quality. The layered notes of sweet honey and flower are simply astonishing. (Oloong tea)

• Sherlock Holmes Tea

  The great consulting detective was a terrific fan of tea. To help him crack a case he would often take tea in his chambers. Since Sherlock was a pipe smoker we chose to blend the finest Ceylon Black Tea with a pinch of smoky Lapsang Souchong. In homage to his extraordinary mind, there is added Ginkgo and Elderflower Blossom. Both are known to improve memory and boost concentration. (Black tea)

• Shakespeare Tea

  Edward Malins records that Shakespeare wrote about flowers. Within his plays he writes about many. Chamomile, Roses and Fennel appear often. The clean, grassy notes of a 1st Flush Darjeeling (the 'Champagne of Tea') were the natural complement. (Black tea)

Champagne and Sparkling wine

Turn any occasion into something a little more special with our selection of champagne & sparkling wine.

• Chapel Down Three Graces

  This intensely aromatic sparkling wine embodies purity of Chardonnay grapes. Powerfully reminiscent of fresh fruits followed by a touch of jasmine & pink peppercorns.

• Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut

  The first Brut champagne was created by Perrier-Jouët, in a search for perfection and quality. Finally the chardonnays of the grand crus of Cramant, Avize, Le Mesnil and Chouilly, which make up 20% of the composition, lend an added touch of freshness and minerality. To attain the perfection demanded by Perrier-Jouët the bottles are kept for three years in the house's chalk cellars
