Iford Manor Teas

There's nothing quite so British... as a lovely warm cup of tea, made using fine loose leaves, lovingly crafted by tea masters, selected by experts and brewed by the ultimate tea connoisseur (that's you, by the way).
At Iford Manor we believe in putting quality and ethics before anything else: quality of flavour and production is ensured through 'rigorous' tastings by family, friends and longstanding customers, and ethical sourcing is monitored through explicitly establishing the commercial ethical policies of our trading partners.
The result is a range of teas with trust at its core.

10 July 2010 - Annual leave

The Iford Manor Teas team is off on annual leave to hunt down good cups of tea in the mountains of Portugal. We're not holding our breath, but we are hoping to restore sanity. We're back on the 25th July, so if you planned to order any tea, perhaps you can manage to hold out until then?

All is not lost, though, for I'm excited to say that following tasting a bunch of samples received recently, we have a new First Flush Darjeeling coming in stock - from the Nurbong estate, it will definitely not be worth missing. This marvellously smooth, fruity and golden darjeeling will be available the moment we're back from our hols, in 1kg tea chests (makes a brilliant "useful things" box when finished) or in the usual 100g tin.

20 June 2010 - The Chai-cycle

It's all rather exciting: Iford Manor Teas has been chosen as the exclusive tea partner of "The Chai-cycle", a promotional project running during the 2010 London Festival of Architecture this month.

We will be sponsoring this charitable venture by providing them with our popular "Masala Chai Blend", which they will be preparing in the traditional Indian fashion over a stove, from the back of their mobile tea house (pulled by two bicycles!). The resultant spiced milky liquor will be purveyed to the fine people of Stratford, the South Bank, and other areas of London as they trundle from event to event.

Having recently acquired the trade of First Class Teas, Iford Manor Teas is developing a new website with greater capability and user-friendliness. Over time it will be uploaded and fully functional. This site is somewhat transitory therefore..

In order to be able to continue to supply our personally selected fine teas to our loyal customers and friends, you can email us with your requirements, and we'll get back to you with a PayPal payment request. Not ideal, but at least you won't run out of our tea. Those who have ordered from FCT in the past can therefore purchase much of their old selection here.
