Tea and Cake


What tipple do you enjoy drinking with your Christmas Cake? For me it's not alcohol (which you may find a little surprising)...it has to be a good honest cup of tea. There is nothing better than snuggling down on the sofa on a dark, cold, late December evening with a huge slice of my Walnut and Whisky Christmas Cake (the whisky icing is the best bit!) and a steaming mug of tea (I'm partial to this one). Cake and tea just seem to go hand in hand...especially during the Christmas festivities.

I was therefore glad to see Twinnings, one of my favourite tea brands, getting into the festive spirit this Christmas with their Mulled Spiced Tea Caddy containing 20 envelopes of mulled spiced tea - a rich aromatic tea with all of the flavours of the season... I'm pretty sure it would go well with a slice of my apple cake. They also have plenty of other Christmas Tea Gifts on offer too - my tea obsessed hubby would love the Twinnings Tea History Hamper containing 2 boxes of tea, a white china tea-pot (I've always wanted a white china teapot) and a pair of bone china mugs, but it's the gift vouchers available in their online tea shop that would be REALLY useful for that awkward tea obsessed Auntie and Uncle that you just have no idea what to buy. The good news is you have until tomorrow (21st December) to place orders that will guarentee a delivery by Christmas Day!

A lovely hamper, until you see the price. £85 is pretty steep, and for that amount I would expect a more generous selection. As much as I love Twinnings, and it is always my first choice of tea, I would not spend this money on a basket with a few items. A bargain it certainly isn't.
