B9's Quaint Olde Tea Shoppe vs. Pass the scones

[Sadie]

nah man English, assam and a special christmas brew by M&S are the best. The M&S one being the best by miles.


Cosy, sweet, perfect in every way. Heaven in a mug tbh

 

[koneko]

Those look like tasty teas sadie. I find english breakkfast tea over rated.

Seeing this thread warms my muffin :D

 

[tribal girl]

While I was at H&B I also purchased the Cinnamon Spice tea as well. I'm quite looking forward to a mug of each later this evening. mmmmm

Good good.

Autumn weather always brings out the best flavours and varieties IMO. Nothing like a mug of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg flavoured coffee either. But this is the tea shoppe so they'll be none of that coffee talk

True that. In fact, I gotta get me some more vanilla flavoured coffee syrup. I love all that crap. T'is expensive mind.

Is cheap white wine allowed in the tea shoppe?. Oh, too late.

Wine n' coffee chat in the Tea Shoppe eh 8) sign of the times I suppose haha

All good like the Missus says :D Assam and mid-range red ftw

 

[wibble]

Well I went out and bought 6 boxes of whittard's english breakfast tea for my friend in new york. It was part of the deal that my friend and I could stay if we brought her that and galaxy cookie crumble hah

 

[Sadie]

The red wine won when it came to drinks last night but I'm currently enjoying the cinnamon spice. A dash of milk. Its so lovely. Autumn in a mug.

Anyone ever recall the Sunday dinner threads ?




Aaaaaaah such heady delights

 

[Sadie]

I'm too new it would seem. Sunday dinner thread you say? I'm liking the sound of that. I made a rather tasty sunday dinner this evening too. Too bad I could only manage just about half of if before I was full.

Back on to the subject of tea. This thread has given me a craving for a nice mug of cinnamon tea. Away to start the kettle.

 

[B9]

A nice cup of tea has just arrived at my side, ahhhhh bliss

 

[koneko]

Going for a leisurely Sunday morning with Assam in the pot and the china out

Toast is required.

 

[Sadie]

I bought some of this yesterday. I'm quite looking forward to trying these out later today.

[Sadie]

That sounds scrummy Kate. Hopefully you'll get some carry on in the afternoon and a bit of sleep before then.

 

[koneko]

Thanks sadie, though the thought of catering for you terrifies me, but I still want to to do it, you're such a foodie the pressures on !

Maybe a simple afternoon tea would be good enough, dinner party cuisine makes me sweat with stress and I love cooking too

Proper china n' tea is on tap in this house, :D all good eh

 

[Sadie]

I would love to have you make me tea. I'll be getting nowt today. I'm catering for children. Stuck walking due to car being sorn and Roby's away with the other one till Monday I look forward to you tea soon!

 

[effie]

We've got a selection of free teas through the post, yorkshire and clipper organic today

Nothing beats chai in my opinion would go so well with mince pies..

 

[Sadie]

Oooh, Mince pies sound great with my Cinnamon Chai. I rarely go to H&B so when I do I buy a few boxes of the stuff.

The clipper organics are really nice.

I have a pretty good selections of tea.
Earl Grey
Darjeeling
Lord Nelson apfel and Zimt ( Apple and Cinnamon )
Chai Chocco
My Clipper teas

I really love this tea.

And

 

[scrooloose]

Clipper white tea,very nice. Drink lots of it during healthier moments,very good for you apparently. Must get around to trying some of the other ones. Not that keen on the peppermint. So many to choose from. Gonna stick kettle on now for a mug of white.

 

[Sadie]

White tea is really good for you. It contains more antioxidents than green tea. It's because the buds are collected younger than green tea.

Health benefits of white tea include: lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, heart protection, anti-bacterial and anti-virus properties. it helps strengthen bones, healthier teeth and gums, Healthy skin, It also helps speed up your metabolism.

And it's quite tasty too.
