Tea menu

Our house tea is loose leaf Gloucestershire tea. A blend specially created for our region by Blends for Friends, which embraces all that is Gloucestershire; a warm welcoming character, natural features & plenty of heritage. The blend includes a North Indian Assam which gives a delicious, warm character, Rwandan tea for fresh flavours, Sri-Lankan (Ceylon) tea for a lively heritage and Kenyan tea for a natural, colourful style


Traditional Loose-leaf teas, choose from:

Earl Grey Tirupati Estate
Made with an excellent quality black Indian Assam tea as the base with the oil of bergamot added for the typical Earl Grey aroma & taste. A great afternoon tea. Usually taken without milk.

Assam first flush super tippy golden clonal
First flush means the first season tea leaf picking, so has a fresher less complicated flavour than a later picked tea. An excellent all day tea with a smooth creamy and full bodied flavour. Great in the morning with a toasted teacake or a full English Breakfast. Usually taken with milk.

Nilgiris first flush Thaisola estate
A smooth south Indian black breakfast tea, lovely with our smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on an English muffin. Has a slight marzipan taste and is ideal to drink throughout the day. Usually taken with milk.

Lapsang Souchong
A smokey tea, great for a mid morning break & an ideal accompaniment for cheese. Usually taken without milk.

Kangra Green Tea

Darjeeling first flush

From the north Indian region of Darjeeling it is a part fermented, light & refreshing tea with a lovely red colour. Another great afternoon tea enjoyed with a cream tea or slice of cake. Usually taken without milk
