I mentioned I was in York, eating Yorkshire pudding wraps, a few weeks ago. And after queueing for a very long time for ceramic ghosts from York’s Ghost Merchants (it was the best queue ever), I was frozen solid. Luckily, right along from the Ghost shop on the Shambles we fell upon the Hebden Tea Experience (strong recommend).
Faced with 1,200 types, or so it seemed, of tea I determined not to be intimidated and just settle for English breakfast. Instead I asked for its Pear, Chocolate and Ginger, (from £1.90 to buy from its shop next door, also mail order). And it very much is a tea experience. You have a draining board at your table and you fill the teapot with your chosen tea (you get about six cups worth and yes there is a toilet), brew, pour, drink, pour away excess, start again. The PCG tea was quite the most delicious I have ever had. Very chocolatey and it requires no milk or sugar. I aim to drink a lot of this.
