British Tea
We feel that the British tea blended to our own recipe and sold exclusively in our shop reflects the great tradition of British tea drinking. Our breakfast tea fulfils the British taste for a 'good strong cuppa', both invigorating and comforting and our special Earl Grey evokes memories of the elegance of afternoon tea, cucumber sandwiches without the crusts and tea dances! We have also added our Sunny English Afternoon Tea to reflect the truly British tradition of 'lazing on a sunny afternoon'. All this whilst raising the bar to new heights in terms of quality and flavour and doing our bit to rid Britain of its current reputation for 'drinking the worst quality tea imaginable'!

Sunny English Afternoon Black Tea
A very smooth but full flavoured infusion given a beautiful 'Muscatel' aroma by the touch of Second Flush Darjeeling added to the blend of teas from fine gardens.

Dambuster's 617 Blend Black Tea
When I read that Squadron Leader George 'Johnny' Johnson, the last surviving ‘Dambuster’, having survived the dangerous mission, celebrated with a cup of tea, I was reminded how so often at times of stress and crisis we turn to this ‘water bewitched’ for comfort. The two teas I’ve chosen are a strong, smooth Assam blend and a very special tea that adds a touch of honey, sweet tobacco and malt to the flavour. It also has an intriguing appearance.

Superior English Breakfast Black Tea
Chosen by the 'Independent' newspaper as the perfect breakfast tea, it is a hearty but smooth blend of garden Assam tea with lots of golden tips. Blended solely with quality in mind this traditional 'English' tea uses three different leaf styles to deliver a rounded cup with 'Superior' flavour, aroma and appearance. It is the only breakfast tea we offer, believing that no one would want to drink what could only be considered an 'inferior' breakfast tea! This is best appreciated with the addition of full cream milk using one rounded spoon per cup. Learn MoreFrom £5.00Earn 5 loyalty points.

Lincoln Imp's Black Tea
To this day, the Lincoln Imp stands frozen in place....or at least until no-one is looking, when he often indulges his taste for a fine cup of tea by visiting one of Lincoln's other magnificent Norman buildings, home to Imperial Teas. Not content with helping himself to a cup of tea, he also likes to mess around in our blending room. The result is that we have no idea what he puts in this tea from one blend to the next! Needless to say our blending room only contains the finest teas and flavouring ingredients so we can guarantee you get a surprise of quality! We can't promise you'll get the same tea twice though! The tea is strong and malty with a subtle hint of whatever takes the Imp's fancy. Learn MoreFrom £8.00Earn 8 loyalty points.
