Let's Have a Picnic!

There's nothing quite like eating in the open air during the warm months.

The heat could be driving you outdoors to eat, or heading out to celebrate a birthday party, a bridal or baby shower. So many excuses to take tea outside for a picnic! For picnics it's nice to keep things simple and stress-free for your guests and for yourself. Think: sturdy thermoses of tea, plenty of reusable cups and food that guests can eat with their hands.

Here are some of our favourite Murchie's essentials to inspire you to bring tea out of doors for a perfect picnic:

APRICOT BREEZE TEA

This is a smooth and perfectly balanced black and green tea blend, with fruit and floral notes. It pairs well with afternoon tea fare like soft sandwiches or slices of cake.

COCONUT CREAM TEA

This tea is a delicious treat tea – a no-calorie dessert! With a creamy taste and subtle aroma reminiscent of vanilla, the flavour of coconut adds a delicious, exotic note to this well-balanced black tea blend. Smooth and balanced when served neat; brew a little stronger and add milk for an even creamier taste!

NO. 10 BLEND TEA

A mild, sweet combination of Gunpowder and Jasmine greens and Keemun and Ceylon black teas, perfect for any time of day. Lightly aromatic with a soft, smooth flavour, that goes great with an afternoon scone topped with Murchie's Lemon Curd.
