All our teas can be served as they are or with milk or lemon. Please find below a selection of what you may find on our menu: Leaf Teas Swinton Park’s Blend A blend that has been made especially for us. Very similar to Yorkshire Tea and perfect for all-day drinking. Assam Single Estate From the finest Assam tea grown in the Brahmaputra Valley in North-East India. This tea is selected from the second flush when leaves are at their best. The flavour is distinctively malty. Darjeeling Single Estate Selected from an estate on the foothills of the Himalayas. Again picked on the second flush, giving it a subtle muscatel flavour. Ceylon Taylors purchase their Ceylon Orange Pekoe teas from Sri Lanka. The Dimbula teas taste light and citrus like, whereas Uva teas have wintergreen taste characteristics. Earl Grey The recipe for this popular blend was presented to the second Earl Grey in the 1880s and has become renowned for its elegant flavour of citrus and bergamot. China Rose This is a black tea from China incorporating rose petals adding a lovely floral character. Lapsang Souchong Depending on quality this distinctive smoky tea is Chinese or Taiwanese in origin. The flavour comes from the leaves being withered over pine-wood fires. Blue Sapphire Blue cornflower petals are added to this Ceylon tea to reflect the famous blue sapphire gemstones that are mined close to the Ratnapura region of Sri Lanka. Green Teas and Herbal Infusions We also offer a selection of Green Teas and herbal infusions which are caffeine-free and contain no added sugar.
