HERBAL INFUSIONS

Herbal infusions are made from any plant that is not the Camellia Sinensis bush, from which all teas are produced. The careful creation of wild and fresh botanicals, herbal infusions may contain dried leaves, pieces of fruit, flowers and grasses. All herbal infusions are caffeine-free.

Peacock Alley Blend Combination of Chamomile blossom, Verbena and the Chrysanthemum flower. We also added lavender flowers and cornflowers. Light and floral, a relaxing blend for late afternoon. Not suitable for consumption during pregnancy. Strawberries In Summer Strawberries In Summer is a delicious mix of apple, hibiscus, orange, blackberry leaf, raspberries and strawberries.

Immunity Give your immune system a helping hand! A blend of fruit and vegetable. Apple, lemon and orange combined with beetroot, ginger and carrot with Sunflower Blossom. Cleansing and revitalising. Chamomile Flowers Known for its calming attributes, chamomile offers respite from inflammation and is a helpful aid to rest and sleep.

WHITE TEA

After it is plucked the bud is simply dried. This gentle treatment retains the highest anti-oxidant level allowing soft, delicate flavour to emerge. Because only the 1st bud is used, in leaf form white tea can be picked for only a few weeks. To produce a kilo requires more than 30,000 buds, ensuring white tea is highly prized.

Snow White (China) White ‘Peony’ is the generic name for Chinese white tea. It is so named after the peony flower that grows alongside the tea plants of Fujian. This delicate tea is a beautiful combination of bright green leaves and soft white buds. Refreshing and cool, Snow White delivers a fragrant lingering liqueur. Malawi White (Malawi) This extraordinary tea is grown on the Shire Highlands of Malawi. The unique terroir produces huge sun-bronzed leaves with dark silver tips. The small plantation produces this tea only in minuscule amounts. Malawi White combines the delicacy of white peony, with notes of caramel and smooth honeysuckle. Jasmine Silver Needle (China) From the Da Bai Hao tea bush in Fuding, Fujian province this tea was harvested this spring and only the first buds were chosen to be naturally scented over many days with jasmine flowers. Light delicate, extremely fragrant and clean. Tropical Tea (China) Blended with white and green tea are pieces of mango, pineapple, coconut and lime blossoms. Extremely fruity and vibrant.

Fountain of Youth (Mixed Origin) Ginkgo, nettle, blackberry leaves, St John’s wort, verbena, mistletoe, whitethorn, lemongrass, willow herb, cornflower and safflower blossoms. Not suitable for consumption during pregnancy. Orangery (Mixed Origin) Founded on a blend of green tea from China. Sweet citrus notes linger from the orange peel and orange blossom. Enjoyable hot in winter and refreshing iced in Summer. Popcorn Ginko (Japan) Genmaicha means ‘Natural Rice’. Made from Bancha tea, with which roasted or ‘popped’ rice grain is added. To soften the flavour of the Genmaicha this blend contains ginko, nettle and cornflowers. Notes of nut and caramel. Kukicha Toasted (Japan) Comprised of the ‘kuki’ leaf stalks of Sencha and Bancha tea. Notes of coffee and cacao in an amazing infusion. Sencha Supreme (Japan) Yamato is a shaded autumn leaf with characteristics that define an unmistakable body and depth. Tangy, with a strong sense of umami. Rich and distinct; a tea for the discerning Sencha drinker.

GREEN TEA

Heat is applied immediately after the leaf is plucked. This protects its anti-oxidant properties. The process differs greatly according to the country in which it is produced. In Japan the leaves are steamed while in China they are wok-fired. This subtle difference produces a wide variety of tea. Green tea protects the heart, liver and immune system and treats arthritis.

Fog Green Tea (China) Located high up in the mountains of the Jiangxi Province, the plant benefits from cooler air which allows these wonderfully mellow leaves to emerge. Fog tea is so named after the mist that envelops the plant. Each leaf is hand-plucked. A sweet taste that is rich and captivating. Gardenia Tea (Mixed Origin) A Japanese green sencha tea is added to a blend of green and white tea from China. This forms the foundation. For fruitiness we then add a smattering of redcurrants, blackcurrants and apricot. A combination of tea, fruit and flower that is wonderfully balanced. Cranberry & Rose (Japan) We complement the crisp, sour note of cranberry with pieces of raspberry and damask rose buds This quenching cocktail sits behind a base of Japanese green Sencha tea. Refreshing and delicious!

PU’ ERH TEA

Pu ‘Erh is one of the oldest teas from China - trade began in the Tang Dynasty. Today international buyers will pay tens of thousands of pounds for this valuable tea! For several weeks very large leaves are twice fermented. This fermentation brings Pu ‘Erh its distinct earthy flavour and aroma and rich colour. Pu ‘Erh is widely used to manage weight and cholesterol. It can be enjoyed at any time although its benefit as a digestive aid means it is especially satisfying when drunk with a meal

Royal Pu' Erh (China) This is a royal grade Pu’ Erh. Made with only the freshest, sweetest tea tips. Earthy, yet mellow and clean, aged deep in the Chinese mountains. Dark copper notes bring a cup of supreme quality. 11 Year old Pu' Erh (China) The smell is smoky and earthy. The liqueur ranges from burnt oranges to deep reds, often with a quite brilliant purple hue. This fine example is dry and woody. The tea is smooth, surprisingly mild and clean.

OOLONG TEA

This tea sits between black tea and green tea. ‘Oolong’ means ‘Black Dragon’, a reference to the natural dragon-like curve of the leaf. Oolong teas stimulate. They increase metabolism and are often drunk for weight reduction. Craftsmen of Oolong teas are highly-skilled. The leaves are tossed in giant baskets until only some of the natural juices are freed, and then roasted by hand throughout the night. This intricate process allows incredibly diverse teas to emerge.

Formosa Oolong Finest (Taiwan) This tea literally means ‘beautiful’. It is grown to imitate the first oolong grown in Taiwan. This 'choicest' grade copper-red leaf delivers an intense, pungent bouquet. Iron Warrior Monk – Tie Luo Han(China) These bushes are found among the rocky cliffs of the Wuyi mountains in Fujian, China. The name means ‘Iron Warrior Monk’ in honour of a warrior who, according to legend, created this immensely smooth Oolong. Though baked to produce a thick, sweet liquor, Tie Luo Han is a highly refined Oolong. It is creamy and buttery, offering notes of honeysuckle and caramel. Iron Goddess of Mercy – Tie Guan Yin (China) From Anxi county in the Fujian Province. Tie Guan Yin is incredibly light, with the aroma of orchids and blossoms.

Assam 2nd Flush (India) This 2nd Flush provides a rich, delicious depth of flavour as the leaf has the strength of fruits and spices - a collision that presents a rich aroma and a traditional Assam malty finish. Ceylon Dimbula (Sri Lanka) Wonderful long, full leaves from the renowned Dimbula Estate. Mild, spicy flavour. A copper cup of supreme quality.

Lapsang Souchong (China) Using larger souchong leaves, this tea is roasted before being smoked over resin rich pine wood. This delivers a rich, dark and peaty flavour with the classic smoky taste. Venetian Rose (Mixed Origin) We complement the richness of black tea from China and Ceylon with the delicacy of fine rose buds. A delightful alternative to a traditional Earl Grey. Traditional Chai (India) Warm spice mix of ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, fennel and aniseed with finest Assam leaf tea. Rich and pungent. Rwandan Rukeri (Rwanda) The Rukeri garden was founded only 50 years ago. It is a small plantation and produces only orthodox (traditional) tea. To produce a long, twisted leaf, production is handled with great care. The result is a spicy and fruity tea, the colour of burnt sun. 31 Years Aged Tea (Taiwan) Yu Chi assam black tea was introduced to Taiwan in the early 19th century. This is a tea from a long established family business in the hills of Yuchi, near Sun Moon Lake. In spite of its age, this tea is very aromatic. Fruity aromas of cherry and grenadine are prevalent. The flavour is gently earthy with notes of root vegetable.

BLACK TEA

Once picked, the leaves are withered on a rack for up to 18 hours and then rolled and cooled. Now darkened, the leaves are fired in an oven to seal in the flavour. In leaf form, black tea delivers a rich variety of flavour and aroma.

Peacock Alley Blend (Mixed Origin) Developed for sole use at Waldorf Astoria – The Caledonian, this blend is a secret combination of more than 10 different fine teas, fruit, spices and herbs. The component we are prepared to reveal is the wonderful cornflower, a modest homage to the immodest peacock! Breakfast ‘Cuppa’ (Mixed Origin) Made from strong and rich tea leaves, this produces a full-bodied and malty traditional cup of tea. Robust enough to take milk or cream. Hot Breakfast (Mixed Origin) Traditional breakfast tea with a kick. The base is only the very finest leaf tea. To add a kick-start to the day, we carefully blended cinnamon, ginger and liquorice. Earl Grey 1833 (Mixed Origin) Precious black tea infused with pure bergamot oil. The distinct taste and aroma of Earl Grey deserves a look to match. So we add delightful blue and purple cornflowers to produce a visually stunning Earl Grey. Lady Grey (Mixed Origin) Our peerless Earl Grey 1833 is the natural base. For a fully-formed citrus taste, we then add orange peel and lemon peel.

THE HISTORY OF AFTERNOON TEA

Tea consumption increased dramatically during the early nineteenth century and it is around this time that Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, is said to have complained of “having that sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. At the time, it was usual for people to take only two meals a day, breakfast and then dinner around eight o’clock in the evening. The solution for the Duchess was a pot of tea and a light snack, taken in her private rooms during the afternoon. Later, friends were invited to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey and this summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walk in the fields.” Other social hostesses quickly picked up on the idea and the practice became respectable enough to move it into the drawing room. Before long, all of the fashionable society were sipping tea and nibbling sandwiches in the middle of the afternoon.
