PORTSMOUTH TEA – PROUD TO BE POMPEY
Did you know that Portsmouth has its very own tea?
When you think of tea, you will probably think of the boxes of teabags sold as the supermarket. However, there is an alternative. Tea Mountain is proud to have created a tea that is specifically for Portsmouth.
Portsmouth Tea is a blend created to stand up to the hard water of the area. It is made from Assam BP (full-bodied malty flavour, deep aroma, rich colour, and brisk taste). ‘BP’ stands for its grade, Broken Pekoe, which refers to the crushing or breaking of the tea leaf, which enhances the flavour.
Our tea has been blended specifically for YOU so that you get a great cuppa every time.
And, if like us, you like to ponder over things whilst sipping your brew, then please ponder on…
Portsmouth is one of the first places where tea arrived in Britain. On 14 May 1662, the bride-to-be of King Charles II, Catherine of Braganza, daughter of King John of Portugal, arrived in Portsmouth. She was horrified to find that tea was not available in England. Although she had brought a casket of tea with her, she immediately sent an envoy with instructions for tea to be shipped from her homeland. Little did she know she was introducing what was to become one of the staples of British life. In tribute to this momentous occasion, we have Portsmouth Tea.
So go on, try our cuppa. Taste something unique - a tea we can be proud of. Let’s put Portsmouth
tea on the world map.
