It goes without saying that being a mother is one of the toughest yet the most rewarding jobs out there. Not a day should go by where we are not grateful for all the hard work and sacrifices mothers make for their families. That’s why it’s important to use Mother’s Day to tell your mum you appreciate, respect and admire her.
In our opinion having one day to celebrate doesn’t seem like much time, given all the hard work which goes into being a mum. Most families celebrate Mother’s Day with a lunch or dinner, but we thought of making it extra special by going the extra mile. Simple creations can say and mean so much and that’s why we have come up with a couple of tea infused morning parfaits recipes for you to try.
For the Earl Grey parfait you will need to prepare your tea infused yogurt 4 days in advance but it will be well worth the effort! For the recipes we have chosen peaches, oranges, banana and blackberries as our fruits (you can choose any seasonal fruit). We love our Matcha tea powder and Extravagant Earl Grey tea and have chosen them for our tea parfait.
We hope you enjoy whisking up these wonderful recipes but more so seeing the delightful look on your mum’s face!

Earl Grey is perhaps one of the most widely drunk teas in the world and one that can easily be considered truly English. Brewed with care, it proves to be a rewarding cup of tea; its easily recognisable aroma warming and comforting. Yet combine it with a careful selection of fragrant flowers and you will find yourself immersing in a whole new experience.
Extravagant Earl Grey is one of our new bespoke handmade blends and already an extremely popular choice at our Tea Rooms. The smooth, strong character of Chinese black tea and the distinct citrus flavour of oil of bergamot merge effortlessly with the complex flowery undertones. And by ‘flowery’ we mean the slightly earthy, complementary aroma of lavender, the elegant sweetness of red rose petals and the delicate clove-like hints of cornflowers. The result is quite astonishing – an Earl Grey with a healthy dose of extravagance.
This tea is not only a treat for the pallet, but also a feast for the eyes. The Extravagant Earl Grey’s visual beauty is especially emphasised by the rich blues of the cornflowers, a flower that was appreciated for its decorative value even back in the Victorian times.
So wherever you long for a little pleasant twist on the old time classic or are searching for an intriguing gift for a tea lover, please have look at our online shop.
