Strong Brew

In years gone by Butler’s Wharf – home of teapod teahouse at Tower Bridge – was at the centre of the international tea trade and fast clippers would dock with speciality teas and spices from all over the world. It was heavy work loading and unloading the ship’s cargoes and a strong brew of “Rosy Lee” – cockney rhyming slang for tea – was essential to keep the spirits high. Our Strong Brew is a tribute to the east end stevedores of Butler’s Wharf – a heady, gutsy blend of teas from Assam and Kenya where it is grown by co-operative farmers who are famed for providing the best tea in East Africa.

Serving tips:
Take four minutes of time to achieve perfection. Use a good teaspoon of tea per person and add freshly drawn boiling water. Enjoy with or without milk.
