This is the tea that I ordered for myself; it’s the “house blend” from the hotel but essentially it’s just a Lady Londonderry – which is the say a strawberry and lemon flavoured black tea. Interestingly, I was served my pot without milk as an option, but tasting the tea I can tell that it’s literally just black tea and strawberry/lemon flavouring (and possibly some flavourless ingredients for visual; calendula maybe) and nothing that would introduce acidity/cause curdling. It was just so simple and mild…

So, I wonder why I wasn’t allowed milk with my tea? Not that I wanted it – but I didn’t like not being given the option in the first place.

I was happy with my tea selection though; it wasn’t amazing quality but the flavours all came through quite clearly and the sweetness level was just right. The added bonus was that nearly everything we were served in terms of food complimented it perfectly which was not intentional on my part! My favourite things were the macerated strawberries with a honey chantilly cream, basil, and lemon olive oil – what a perfect thing to snack on with this tea!! However, the scones were also incredible, though not as much as the ones at The Vintage Tea Room. These were a berry scone, which was sweet and almost felt like they had a sugared top? The kicker was the butter they were served with – which was actually to die for! It was a whipped thyme infused butter, and it was so light and airy while also having this lovely herbaceous quality that really distinguished the scone and played off the strawberry in the tea as well.
