#8 - The Olde Young Tea House

Today's instant is of two fine loose leaf teas that were picked up from The Olde Young Tea House in Middlesbrough. The one on the left is cherry, the one on the right is summer blend. I am reliably informed that the summer blend contains a mix of nettle, bilberries, raspberries, rose petals and sunflower petals. Quite the mix, but it works. I've sampled both teas over the past day (I don't know why it took me so long, I bought them a good while ago). Bloody class, both of them.

Loads and loads of tea. I'm only just getting started on them.  If you're not sure which one you want then have a sniff in one of the jars. This place doesn't just stop at tea. Tasty looking scones and tasty looking cakes. Sandwiches if you are peckish. Also the best looking till I've seen in a while, reassurance that your money is going to a good place.

I bet you want a piece? The stuff in here is pretty cheap - £1.50 for a mug of loose leaf tea, £1.50 for a scone with jam and cream. Another place that doesn't take the piss with prices.

If there ever was a reason to visit Middlesbrough, this is it. Take no notice of Channel 4 and get in touch with me. I'll show you the class side of the town.

p.s. cheeky plug - some of my fisheye pictures are up in some awesome old picture frames on the wall to the left of the counter. another reason to visit.

Here's one of my faves that is up:
