Do you discover it troublesome to discover a cafe that makes cup of tea? I like a totally flavoured cup of tea and I at all times discover most cafes produce moderately weak wishy-washy tea. Both they do not use high quality tea bag or they do not enable the tea to infuse or they make it in your tea cup – which by no means tastes as good as a cup of tea that has been brewed within the teapot.

We not too long ago had a visit to Ironbridge, Telford, visiting the entire museums within the native space. There are ten award-winning Museums unfold alongside the valley beside the wild River Severn – nonetheless spanned by the world’s first Iron Bridge. At lunchtime we discovered a small cafe within the coronary heart of Ironbridge referred to as ‘The Tea Emporium’. The cafe is in The Sq., a stone’s throw from the precise iron bridge itself. The cafe was small with an oldie world allure befitting to the setting of this historic city. The cafe had a restricted variety of tables inside but in addition had just a few tables outdoors, ideally suited on scorching summer season days.

I used to be pleasantly shocked once I learn the menu to search out that they provided a choices of teas which they not solely served within the cafe, however which additionally they bought so that you can take house. By the way, additionally they take orders for his or her tealeaves over the telephone. The teas have been listed with their brewing time and an outline of their flavour. I immediately knew that I used to be going to be served an excellent cup of tea that I’d take pleasure in.

I chosen the Grandma’s Family Tea that was described as being appropriate for consuming at any time of the day, the brewing time of which was 4 minutes.

The tea was served in a small particular person glass tea pot which has a small repair basket like compartment whereby the tea leaves have been. As a result of the teapot was glass you can see the tea inside and I might see the darkish richness of the color as I waited patiently for 4 minutes.

This cup of tea was actually improbable. Each my grandmother’s loved a fairly sturdy cup of tea, fairy darkish in color with a definite style, and Grandma’s family tea actually did seize how I bear in mind a cup of tea at Grandmas to style. It made my go to to the cafe moderately nostalgic.

It appears becoming that in such a historic place the place the Victorians have been blasting Iron in big furnaces, and mining coal, producing tremendous pottery and wall tiles to decorate buildings that I ought to discover a good quaint cup of tea, in any case it was the Victorians that made tea consuming so standard in Britain.

I’ve an curiosity in Good tea as a result of I actually hand knit tea cosy to promote, to maintain everyone’s teapot piping scorching.
