The Tea Journal

Unlock the mysteries of how our trade partnership unfolded with London's distinguished hotel, St Ermin's Hotel.
It is a hotel with no code left unsolved, a secret within its many walls, and a story in every nook and cranny. At The Tea Makers of London, we wanted to be a part of the hotel's story when it came to concocting their ludicrously divine tea menu.

Winter. Where the bitter wind numbs our toes and the dark nights grow longer. Where the weather is as unpredictable as the rush-hour traffic. The thick coats and scarves are out and gingerbread lattes replace all things pumpkin-spiced. Winter is the busy season where we try to fit in buying presents, seeing friends and family, and where we try to fit into last year's seasonal jumpers.

Winter is a busy season for most. So, where does your me-time feature?

At The Tea Makers, we believe there is no form of self-care better than curling up on the settee with a warming cup of tea, and we think this suits so nicely when it comes to winding down in a winter evening. Wrap up in your blanket and put on your favourite Netflix show as we have the best selection of warming, winter loose-leaf teas for your indulgence.
