First Class Teas used to be a tea supplier and cafe on [[Locale Peas Hill|Peas Hill]]; sadly, the shop/cafe closed on 23 December 2008 due (in the owner's words) to "a significant loss of trade during this economic crisis". They may have continued to sell via their website for a while, but as of mid-2010 the company is no more, and the website states that "the company's trade has been purchased by [http://www.ifordmanorteas.co.uk/ Iford Manor Teas] who will be offering a similar range to former FCT customers."
 Until 23rd December 2008, a supplier of many interesting and exotic (true) teas and tea accessories, also a cafe serving tea, scones, muffins, etc. With occasional special events (story-telling, etc).

"First Class Teas has sadly had to close owing to a significant loss of trade during this economic crisis. We are still online at www.firstclassteas.co.uk and would like to recommend that everyone goes to Benet's cafe on King's Parade because they'll be serving and selling our teas in our absence. Thanks to everyone who supported us over the years, and we hope you'll stick with us eith through Benet's or online."

Kake visited on a sunny Tuesday afternoon and had a very nice pot of White Clouds jasmine tea (£3.50) on the recommendation of the young chap behind the counter. He even told me how long to let it brew before pressing the plunger down. I sat outside due to the nice weather – they have two small tables outside, each with seating for two people — but they also have more seating downstairs.
