Tea Cocktails!

We strongly believe that not many things could improve a cuppa, well maybe a slice of cake. But we have been proved really rather wrong! Thanks to our friends in our local drinking establishment, we have been introduced to the rather wonderful world of Tea Cocktails.

From Royal Earl Grey infused Gin to beautiful Rum and Oolong fruit punches we have found the perfect way to enjoy our favourite cuppa every Friday night.

Something this good has to be shared! So join us for our Tea Cocktail Night to learn how to mix and create these fantastic drinks, and have some cheeky tasters along the way!

Thursday 19th April, 6-7pm, £5 per person.

We’re very excited about our next book group meeting on Wed 8 Feb. Please come and join us if you can – don’t worry if you’ve not had time to read the book!

We’ve managed to arrange for bestselling Edinburgh author Sara Sheridan to come along to chat about her new book Secret of the Sands. The meeting is on Wed 8 Feb from 5.30pm to 7pm but from then on we’ll meet on the 1^st Wed of every other month!

Here’s a wee summary of the book: “Set against the backdrop of the British abolition of the Slave Trade in 1833 Secret of the Sands is based on the travels of Indian Navy Lieutenant, James Raymond Wellsted, who crossed the Arabian Peninsula. Wellsted was a celebrity in his day – particularly noted for being open-minded. A precursor of Burton, Lawrence and Thesiger, the auther wanted to evoke the danger this dashing naval officer faced, both from his native travelling companions and the hostile terrain. Of course, the story would not have been complete without the character of Zena, the Abyssinian slave girl with whom he falls hopelessly in love.”

It should be a fun meeting with plenty of tea and nibbles. We really hope you can make it (and if you know anyone who may be interested please spread the word). p.s. and yes it’s a free event! xx

We have a particular soft spot for Ceylon tea, having sourced some excellent teas from our own travels in Sri Lanka. This organic tea garden is in the hills above Ravanna-Ella Waterfalls in Sri Lanka and they pluck only the finest leaves. Each batch of tea is made with care in small quantities and sun dried giving each a unique flavour, varying slightly in style according to the field, season and drying time.

We’re delighted to have got our hands on some of the first tea to be produced there. It’s very unusual hand rolled black tea balls, which we’ve named Amba Gems. The resulting cup is delicate while complex with earthy notes. We have a limited stock at the moment but you can get your hands on it in our Tea Boutique or online by clicking here. We will be working closely with the Amba Estate and helping to support them and their charitable work with Halfway Home Mulleriyawa – a psychiatric hospital for women in Sri Lanka.

The mornings are definitely getting darker, and here at eteaket we are in desperate need of some motivation to get out of bed on these dark and dreary mornings!

So we are brightening your journey to work with our fantastic resuesable takeaway cup, the Keep cup. Not only do they look fantastic but are lightweight, environmentally friendly, dishwasher safe, microwaveable and splash proof. They also last 4 years! And for those of you braving these winter mornings and putting us all to shame by still exercising, they fit into bicycle bottle holders!

To sweeten the deal we are also holding a keep cup challenge, simply:

1. Buy one of our fantastic Keep cups: £9.99 and to say thanks we will fill it for free, (well we don’t want you leaving empty handed).

2. Everytime you use your Keep Cup we will give you 10% off your drinks purchase.

3. When you buy your Keep Cup we will enter you into our Keep Cup competitors board. Every time you use your Keep Cup you’ll get a tally on the competitors board.

The person with the most tallys at the end of November will win an Afternoon Tea for two!

We are very proud to now be a member of B1G1! This means that every cup of tea or tea caddy sold during October, eteaket will give a child in India clean drinking water for a day. We have partnered with B1G1 to help give something back – this is only the start so watch this space…

We were also part of Macmillans Biggest Coffee Morning last week. Serving up some rather naughty green cupcakes and getting involved in the green theme of the day, we raised a lot of money that we have donated to the charity. We hope that everyone else’s coffee Mornings were as successful as ours and that a lot of money has been raised!

We are also proud to be donating tea to local charities in Edinburgh. We know the importance of a decent cuppa’ and aim to provide this to as many people as possible
