International Tea Day

We marked the day with a relaxed afternoon in the garden, where residents sampled a selection of blends from the English Tea Shop collection. Earl Grey, Dorset Tea, peppermint, green tea and citrus varieties were all poured and passed around the table as the conversation unfolded.

What began with three residents soon grew to around ten, as others drifted over, drawn by the scent of the teas and the easy atmosphere in the sunshine. There was plenty of discussion over favourite blends, alongside quiet moments spent simply enjoying a warm cup outdoors on a mild afternoon.
