Designed for Downing Street by Tregothnan celebrates the fact that tea cuts across all sections of community and is almost in our veins. Tea just about defines what makes us British – why not try it for yourself today?

Ingredients

Our bold Great British Tea is a special blend of hand-plucked Cornish tea with the finest Assam for a bold full-bodied flavour.

Brewing instructions

For perfect brewing, use filtered or bottled water just off the boil. Brew for 2 to 4 minutes depending on how strong you like your tea – we recommend 3 minutes of steeping time before tasting. GREAT British Tea can be served with or without milk and sweetened with honey or sugar to taste.

Origins

Tregothnan was invited to 10 Downing Street in 2012 to launch an exciting new tea product in connection with the government’s GREAT initiative which invites the world to take a fresh look at everything Britain has to offer. No prime minister has taken tea this seriously since Churchill or Earl Grey. Churchill wanted tea grown in the UK and 70 years later, the first and only home-grown tea is being delivered to Embassies where the GREAT campaign is running.

This tea us delicious and British too. I mix it with Tregothnan earl grey in a 50/50 ratio. This gives a fantastic flavour.

About us

Rare plants have been nurtured by the same family at Tregothnan since 1334. The first tea was grown in the UK in 1999 to put the ‘English into English Tea’ and the most British tea in history was first sold in 2005.

Now, over 26 miles of tea bushes thrive in the unique microclimate, seven miles inland and with a deep-sea creek bringing regular fog. Manuka bushes have also thrived here since the 1880’s, the first grown outside of New Zealand and producing the most delicious honey.
