Tea & Cake

£28.00

There’s something rather special about a proper slice of cake and a perfectly brewed cup of tea. Our Tea & Cake selection brings the two together, a thoughtful little pairing designed for slow afternoons, generous gifting, or simply having something lovely tucked away for when you need it most.

Choose your cake from five of our firm favourites, each baked by hand in our Cotswold bakery using the same trusted recipes we’ve been perfecting since 1989 just in a slightly smaller 5" size, ideal for a few slices rather than a crowd.

Alongside your cake, you’ll find a box of carefully matched teas from our fellow UK B Corp friends at Brew Tea Co. We sent them rather a lot of cake (a tough job, we know), and after much tasting (and I’m told, a fair bit of enjoyment) they selected three blends that perfectly complement the flavours of this cake selection. Each tea box contains 15 whole leaf pyramid bags, making it easy to brew a proper cup to enjoy with every slice. 

How Does it Work?
