21st + 22nd APRIL

Over the weekend it was National Tea Weekend!

So why not come in today and treat yourself to a nice brew?!

We asked Pam, one of our managers, which tea bags are her favourite...

And she described Clipper's 'Organic Pure Green Tea' as being very a refreshing cup of tea.

Traidcraft's 'Everyday Tea' were named Pam's 'go-to' for a good cuppa.
