A local couple have launched a new range of loose-leaf tea, created at their Strangeways Road home.
Fred and Linda are passionate and feel that, as a nation of tea- drinkers, we should seek out the best on offer. They’ve set their sights high, starting a quiet revolution to wean Britons off plain, underwhelming teabags, instead introducing them to a new world of delicious flavours.
“We are both so fond of loose leaf teas because the flavours are so much richer and many can be steeped several times, with each steeping revealing different subtle flavours. The ceremony of preparing a pot of tea is lovably old-fashioned and it’s nice to be reminded that you’re drinking something in the way it has been done for the last 400 years in Britain.” Loose-leaf tea has environmental benefits, too, Fred explains. “Many bags aren’t 100% biodegradable and not manufacturing them is the best way to minimise environmental impact.”
Launching last month, they offer a range of seven teas including green, oolong (“my mother’s own recipe from her time as a student in Cambridge”), black teas and their own creation: the hand-blended Ramsey Court Breakfast Tea, made in small batches at their home.
