Penny Choose: Brewhaha Rose Tea

April 24th, 2012 by Penny Golightly

Sometimes you just need a little treat. Something to cheer yourself up, to take your mind off the rain and the cold. Preferably something that isn’t going to put a massive dent in your budget, so you can enjoy it guilt-free.

Today’s Penny Choose treat ticks all of those boxes. It’s the Rose Tea from Brewhaha, a rather nice company with a tea room in Edinburgh. It’s by far the tastiest, best balanced rose tea I’ve ever drunk, and it’s made from a blend of Sri Lankan black tea, rose petals and rose essence.

The flavour is strong but it’s still pretty natural, and it avoids that rather ‘soapy’ aftertaste that other floral teas sometimes suffer from.

Yes, it’s rather girly and flowery, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, I find. This tea is the perfect excuse for a civilised time out sort of moment, and has always been well received when I’ve given it as a gift.

A packet comes in with an RRP of £2.40 for 25 tea bags. You can order it directly from Brewhaha, or find it in your local deli, branches of Bill’s restaurant chain, or the Harvey Nichols food hall.

Go on, treat yourself…

Special Offer: King’s Speech event with talk

April 18th, 2012 by Penny Golightly

Just a quick post to let you know about a limited special offer for an interesting theatre event. As you might know, I recently reviewed and enjoyed the stage version of The King’s Speech at Wyndham’s.

Next week, on Wednesday 25th of April there is a special evening performance of the play which includes a Q & A session afterwards with Mark Logue (Lionel Logue’s grandson) plus actors Charles Edwards and Jonathan Hyde. It was Mark who discovered Lionel’s diaries revealing the extent of Lionel’s friendship with Bertie, so it should make for a very interesting evening.

Tickets for this event are priced at £29.50 for Penny Golightly readers, and can be booked via this link. They usually cost £52.50 without the extra talk, so it’s a very nice offer – don’t leave it too long if you’re interested as they’re bound to be snapped up.
