TEA MENU Since the eighteenth century, the United Kingdom has been one of the world’s greatest tea consumers, with an average annual per capital tea supply of 1.9 kg. The British Empire was instrumental in spreading tea from China to India. English Breakfast Tea |£2.80 The original English Breakfast was believed to have been developed and blended in Edinburgh by Eric Drysdale. The original blend used teas from India, Sri Lanka and China. Nowadays it’s a full-bodied tea with a ‘get up and go’ flavour that is especially enticing with a dash of milk. Earl Grey Tea |£2.80 The myth tells how Charles Grey, the second Earl Grey, travelled to China on an important mission and, while there, saved the life of a mandarin. As a token of his gratitude, he gave the Earl a recipe for black tea scented with oil of bergamot. The Earl brought it back to England and gave it to his family’s tea dealer who created the blend for the Earl. But much of this tale is so improbable that it should be taken with a very large pinch of salt! Decaffeinated Irish Breakfast Tea |£2.80 A great tea from Malawi, the tea is decaffeinated before processing when the leaf is still green and fresh resulting in a tea with a true malty taste and full-bodied flavour. Bukhial TGFOP Assam Tea |£2.80 The introduction of the Assam tea bush to Europe is attributed to Robert Bruce, a Scottish adventurer, who apparently encountered it in the year 1823.

China to India.

English Breakfast Tea |£2.80The original English Breakfast was believed to have been developed and blended in Edinburgh by Eric Drysdale. The original blend used teas from India, Sri Lanka and China. Nowadays it’s a full-bodied tea with a ‘get up and

go’ flavour that is especially enticing with a dash of milk.

Earl Grey Tea |£2.80The myth tells how Charles Grey, the second Earl Grey, travelled to China on an important mission and, while there, saved the life of a mandarin. As a token of his gratitude, he gave the Earl a recipe for black tea scented with oil of bergamot. The Earl brought it back to England and gave it to his family’s tea dealer who created the blend for the Earl. But much of this tale is so improbable that it should be taken with a very large pinch of salt!
