Battle of the
Lockdown Brews

Are you team purist or flavour braver? We’re pitting a selection of our best-loved teas cup-to-cup in a bid to crown the “golden caddy” of the tea world – and it’s all down to you. In the first round we have oolong tea; second up is white tea; the third is black tea and our fourth and final round is green tea. The winner from each round will then go into the semi-finals for some inter-tea type rivalry.

Head over to Instagram or Facebook to cast your votes, where Rich, our Learning & Development Manager, will be arming you with all the exper-teas you need.

The nominees are (drum roll please)…

And the Golden Caddy Goes To…

COVENT GARDEN BLEND

A homage to Covent Garden's history as a fruit and flower market, this delicate blend of Ceylon tea is layered with hints of peach and apricot and a glorious cascade of petals.
