Cafes and caterers recognise the demand for top quality gourmet teas

A refreshing cup of tea is essential during a Marathon shopping spree, and now the very best in tea is coming to the High Street.

“Sturdy enough, yet elegant with a good colour and above all tasty”

This is not a description of a bottle of wine – it’s a breakfast tea from High Teas of London, purveyors of the finest teas from around the world.

High Teas’ passion for and knowledge of their products is helping to elevate the good old British cuppa into a rather more gourmet affair and their website at www.highteas.co.uk has proved extremely popular with tea drinkers around the world.

News of their exquisite range has now reached tea shops and catering outlets thanks to the increasing demand for their products and delights such as high-grown Ceylon teas, Scented teas and Formosa Oolong teas could soon be gracing the menus of your favourite café.

High Teas only chooses teas from the best tea gardens and estates of the world so the very best quality and flavour is guaranteed.

The company’s founder, Tony Marks, was previously a director of a successful wine company and in retirement is now pursuing his love of tea, bringing unique and unusual gourmet tea direct to the door of tea lovers, and now to tea shops and caterers as well.

Fine teas such as Darjeeling tea, Moroccan Mint Tea, Earl Grey Fume, or Imperial White Peony with Rose Petals are available from the website. Some of the teas available, such as Green teas even boast health and weight loss benefits.

Most of the teas on the site are made in the traditional ‘orthodox’ method and therefore take longer to brew creating a flavour that simply cannot be matched by everyday tea bags.

High Teas is passionate to the point of being obsessed when it comes to finding the best quality, most interesting teas from around the world from breakfast tea to Chinese tea, Oolong tea, Black tea and White tea.

The selection includes loose tea, speciality tea and many useful and stylish tea products such as infusers, teapots with strainers in the spout, tea glasses and brewing baskets.

Tea shops have the opportunity to take their customer offering to a higher level, leaving the competition trailing. High Teas selection for tea shops is excellent value and is bound to have tea drinkers coming back again and again to enjoy a superior refreshment break.
