The Tea Lady’s review on The Berkshire Hotel’s afternoon tea!
The Berkshire Hotel on Oxford Street W1C 1BY has recently started afternoon tea on the first floor. So I thought id check it out… First of all I have to comment on how helpful the staff were, however good an afternoon tea is going to be, it could of easily been overshadowed by poor customer service however it was great and I was well taken care of.

One of my personal favourites of the afternoon tea experience was their China brand, it was the Miss Darcy range made by “Bombay…

Matcha – the revolution. Forget about the politics, vote for Matcha! The Matcha revolution is just around the corner! Gone are the days of coffee jitters! We have all been there right?

Helping the Homeless Here’s the short version: every time you buy a box of tea infusers, we donate tea directly to homeless shelters across the UK, so you buy a brew for someone. With the rising concerns (BBC 4 February 2015) about quietly increasing homelessness and poverty in the UK, we tried to find a way to help out. And since people forced to sleep rough or in shelters are probably the most in need of a really good cuppa, we thought we should donate the thing we do best! Tea is full of antioxidants…
