Tea Loaf with Tetley Earl Grey Tea

Peach Tea CakeWorking in partnership with Lee Maycock, Vice President of the Craft Guild of Chef’s, we have devised a series of dishes that perfectly complement our diverse range of tea solutions, designed to inspire and excite the taste buds.

Lee says “These recipes are reflective of some of the hottest food trends of the moment – from super-grains to street-foods. Each dish is simple to create and a delicious accompaniment to a cup of Tetley Tea.’’

Lee says: “Tea is a key driver to increasing overall revenue, and cake is one of the most popular dishes to enjoy with good cuppa. With it’s delicate aroma and golden colouring, Earl Grey’s classic flavour is perfect paired with this peachy tea loaf, and provides a sweet treat for a true afternoon tea experience.”
