The Tasting Lab has been an Idea and pet project for a while, so I'm glad I get to see it come to fruition. It was conceived as a way to showcase ideas, finds, and old blending classics from the Big Black Book that haven't seen the light of day in decades, possibly even a century. A way to glimpse the ideas that go on behind the scenes at Head Office, and bring others along on an interesting taste-journey.

Experimentation has its ups and downs; occasionally you come across a tea you adore, but can't source the quantities you need for a full release. Sometimes you have ideas for flavour combinations that are so out there, you don't know if anyone else would be willing to try. Murchie's has a lot of history, and I look forward to exploring some of it with interested tea drinkers.

Blackberry CocktailThere's nothing we love more in summer than dreaming up fun seasonal recipes for our favourite teas. To be honest, we're actually thinking of tea recipes all year long! But in summer, there's nothing more satisfying and easy to make than a perfect tea cocktail. And one in-hand on a sunny patio? Perfection! We're currently loving these cocktails using a tea from each category, Black, Green, Rooibos and Oolong.

It's Murchie's 125th anniversary year and we believe it is our customers that make us who we are. It's fun taking a look back through the years and thinking about all the stories there must be around a cup of tea.
