Summer is a marathon, not a sprint, so there’s still time to surprise and stimulate your
diners with creative menus and events this August. Whatever the weather or occasion, there
is always time for tea and with afternoon tea week happening this month, there’s never been
a better time to roll out your finest china.
12th – 18th August – Afternoon Tea Week
One of the big awareness weeks of the year and a truly traditional endeavour, Afternoon Tea Week runs from the 12th to the 18th August. It’s a great chance for your guests and customers to socialise, celebrate and indulge a little so make sure you have a quality afternoon tea offering that can awaken the senses.
Tip Top Tea
While you can never guarantee sunshine, you should always be able to promise a quality brew. Hot or ice cold, tea can be the ultimate refresher in the summer months. For creative mixologists, tea can also be used for a wide selection of summer mocktails, cocktails and pitchers.
For those looking to take their tea offering up a notch or two this Afternoon Tea Week, we’ve just added a special new blend to our Signature range. Made using the finest hand plucked teas, sourced from Rainforest Alliance gardens on the equatorial plains of Africa and created specifically for us by expert blenders, the new Signature by Country Range Premium Blend Rainforest Alliance Tea Bags are available in 1100’s in 100% recyclable packaging.
Treats for Everyone
When planning your afternoon tea menu, you’ll find a whole host of inspiration and ingredients on the Country Range website, from our fully finished Mini Cake Selection to cake, pudding and pastry mixes.
To make sure nobody misses out, we’ve got a range of solutions for people with dysphagia for you to add to your repertoire, from a complete afternoon tea, to sandwiches, wraps, cakes and dessert pots.
