Good day ladies, we hope your start to the week is going swimmingly. This week we thought as we sat down drinking a cup of the lovely stuff that we’d take a look at one of the most defining aspects of Britishness, want a few clues as to what we are talking about?
1. It is a natural source of fluoride that can help protect against tooth decay and gum disease.
2. In British soap operas it is the first thing offered upon the receipt of bad news.
3. 80% of office workers claim they find out more about the developments of their company over a cup that they do any other way.
That’s right ladies you guessed it we’re talking about the elixir of British life a good old cup of tea- two sugars please!
So where can you find a good cuppa these days? Well we’ve read reviews and looked around and we have proudly put together our top three tea rooms…
London

This tea room has an interesting concept, combining the two senses; taste and smell. Pick up a gorgeous perfume and then reward yourself with a well deserved cup of cha, and at teas from £4 per person, you won’t break the bank anytime soon either!
Tea fact: Did you know that the number of recommended cups of tea to gain significant benefit is 4.

Harrogate

This tea room is Yorkshire charm combined with elegance, from the beautifully wrought iron exterior, to the extensive array of cakes, breads and wonderful Yorkshire tea. It is a perfect treat for a loved one with and gift vouchers readily available, it gets our vote!
Tea fact: Did you know that tea is as effective as removing warts as any topical ointment, this is due to the acidity of the tannin present in the tea. Therefore leaving a moist teabag on a wart for 15 minutes a day will cause a wart to shrink and disappear!
