Special Brew – an exhibition by Nineteen Eighty Five at Eteaket Tea Boutique and Café

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!

What a fantastic start to the week! It is always lovely to hear a nice review but to be one of the best Tea Rooms in Britain is just amazing. We are very very chuffed and thouroughly proud of everyone who works here continuing to do a fantastic job!

To make sure that we are always a firm favourite we are adding new and exciting Teas and cakes to our menus and will be updating our website with our Teas of the Week and Month to make sure you are always getting something different.

For a crash course into the world of teas why not pop into one of our informal tea tastings, with one of our resident tea experts. Our first one is lined up for Monday 17 October 2011.

Pop along between 6-7pm for an introduction to the world of teas, a wee tasting or just to ask one of those tea questions you’ve always longed to know.

We are holding one a month and best of all they are absolutely free.

I don’t know if it is these dark night’s rolling in or the miserable weather but here at eteaket we are feeling a little bit lazy! After those festive summer months all we want to do is curl up with a cup of tea (and lets be honest a cheeky piece of cake!). Thats why we are loving our magic tea press, making our tea lives a piece of cake! Just pop a teaspoon of our favourite tea in (ours is Chocolate Abyss if you’re asking) add hot water, leave for three minutes and then just release the tea into your favourite mug. We could bore you with the science, but the design allows the leaves to float freely brewing the Perfect cuppa.

As Paul says “Its Magic!”…
