Tea for Two

Devonshire Tea.

Tea taken with a combination of scones, clotted cream (or in some instances whipped cream), and jam. I'll be serving of jam of choice; blackberry.

Afternoon Tea.

Also known as low tea, is a light meal typically eaten between 3pm and 5pm. Traditionally, loose tea is brewed in a teapot and served in teacups with milk and sugar. This is accompanied by sandwiches, scones and usually cakes and pastries such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge. A great excuse to bring out the tiered stand.

High Tea.

This an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5pm and 6pm and would usually consist of cold meats, eggs or fish, cakes and sandwiches. In its origin, the term “high tea” was used as a way to distinguish it from “low tea” or afternoon tea. The words 'low' and 'high' refer to the tables from which either tea meal was eaten. Low tea was served in a sitting room where low tables were placed near sofas or chairs generally. The word high referred to a table, this one in a dining room table, and it would be loaded with substantial dinner dishes - meats, cheese, breads.

Study Survival

What Bear Grllys never told you....

Out here on the academic terrain one may find themselves occasionally trapped and isolated from the larger population. The key is not to panic and to have many of the essentials stored away at various locations such as your college locker or your bedroom desk.

My insider tips; drink tea from a mother-f#$%ing soup cup, dress cosy and check out Cupcakes by Katie.

Black Smoke Tea

 I want to break from the world of style, sequin and shoes. I want to run barefoot and jump from mud puddle to mud puddle my feather headdress slightly askew. I want to live in the woods and sleep beneath the stars.

Come live with me and I'll serve a tea party with Occulter's Black Smoke tea. Traditionally carried by camel across Asia from China to Europe, this tea would arrive with a signature smoky aroma from the fires that the caravans burned for warmth. Today, the organic leaves are smoked over pine needles and yield a distinctive smoky aroma and flavor. A tea boasting to be reminiscent of wood fires, pipe tobacco and peaty scotch. It must be mine. When the world rages around us my warrior lover will brew the their Gunpowder tea. A tea
cultivated in the Pingshui region of northern China’s Zheijiang province, the motherland of gunpowder tea. Come, come, come!
