British independent brand The Camden Watch Company, founded by wife and husband team Anneke Short & Jerome Robert, have teamed up with Manchester’s Brew Tea Co. to bring you the Worker’s Blend Loose Leaf Tea.
In the 1800s, British industrial workers started taking tea breaks in the afternoons to help keep them fuelled, alert and to subdue hunger.
A strong, earthy blend of rich Assam and smoky Lapsang Souchong that will take you back in time to a Victorian Camden, where canal workers, railway men and raffish aristocrats lived, worked and drank side by side.
The idea occurred to Anneke and Jerome when they began work designing their worker mugs. They had the far-fetched idea that it would be cool to be able to offer tea with our mugs. But they don’t like to do things by halves. If they were going to sell tea then it would have to be special, it would have to be their own tea.
Anneke Short says, “We got in touch with our friends over at Brew Tea Co. and they loved the idea. After months of blending, tasting, designing labels and sipping on cups of tea, we finally have our very own signature blend. So we present to you the Worker’s Blend loose leaf tea. 80% Assam and 20% Lapsang Suchoung, it’s smoky, rich and oh so Camden.”
Priced at £9.50 per packet, the tea is available in their stores and online at Worker’s Blend Tea – The Camden Watch Company
Oh, and for those who like a different type of tea (as in G&T) if you infuse the Worker’s Blend tea in gin, it makes a fantastic gin and tonic apparently….
