Historical version 9 of First Class Teas (view current version)

First Class Teas used to be a tea supplier and cafe on Peas Hill; sadly, the shop/cafe closed on 23 December 2008, though you can still buy their teas via their website.

Will, the owner, says: "First Class Teas has sadly had to close owing to a significant loss of trade during this economic crisis. We are still online at http://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 either through Benet's or online."

The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like.

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).

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.

Last visited by Kake, 7 August 2007.
