1 x 100 g "Victorian House" Coronation Afternoon Tea blend lose
A suitably celebratory loose-leaf mix issued on the occasion of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. was created. Our Afternoon Blend produces a darker, richer flavor than Afternoon Blend and is better suited to milk. A blend truly fit for a king, rumor has it His Majesty drinks Darjeeling tea with cream and honey!
Darjeeling is known as the “champagne of teas” because of its complexity and muscatel character. Cultivated in the foothills of the Himalayas, which are often snow-covered in winter, the harsh growing conditions ensure slow growth that concentrates the tea's character.
From teaware to tasty treats and more, our limited edition Coronation range is the perfect keepsake to celebrate an important mark in British history.
Cream and scones are best eaten within 4-5 days.
How is clotted cream kept cool during transit?
We leave the cream blast frozen until dispatch, and send it in an insulated packet with an ice pack. This allows the cream to thaw slowly during transit, and upon arrival it should be placed in a refrigerator as soon as possible.
A guide to serving the perfect cream tea
Preheat your oven to approximately 190 degrees and then warm the scones for ten to twelve minutes.
Using a spoon heated in boiling water carefully spoon the clotted cream out of the plastic container ( do not mix or beat the cream) and place in a glass or china serving bowl.
Serve the scones hot ,cut in half horizontally,and generously spead the clotted cream on each half and top with strawberry jam.
Making the tea
Always use freshly boiled water.
Preheat your tea pot with boiling water.
In the empty preheated tea pot use approximately one tea spoon of tea for each cup (most tea pots hold enough water for six tea cups) and if you like your tea stronger add one spoon extra for the pot.
Always pour the tea first then add the milk or slice of lemon.
If you have a extra pot for hot water you can always top the cup up with a dash of extra hot water to vary the strength of the tea.
Presentation is vitally important to a successful afternoon tea.Always try to use pretty china,silver ware and linen and if possible choose the decoration of your china in relation to the season of the year.
Is clotted cream safe to eat if left at room temperature for a few days?
As stated above clotted cream actually has quite a long shelf life, but because we can’t guarantee the delivery conditions, we give a much shorter ‘best before date’ of 5 days from dispatch. Sometimes, if delivery can’t be made, the cream will be left overnight at a sorting depot, this is unlikely to affect the cream but given we cannot guarantee the conditions of transit all orders are at your own risk.
What makes Clotted Cream Clotted?
Clotted Cream is a thick yellow cream made by heating unpasteurized cow’s milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time the cream content rises to the surface and forms “clots”. Clotted cream purists prefer the milk to come from cows in the West Country, mainly from Devon and Cornwall.
In the European Union, Cornish clotted cream is a protected designation of origin for cream produced by the traditional recipe in Cornwall. True Cornish clotted cream must be made from unpasteurized milk or the clots will not form. It has a minimum fat content of 55%.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
From a Farmouse Kitchen
In 1890 our great-great-grandmother, Eliza Jane Rodda started making Cornish clotted cream in her farmhouse kitchen here in the heart of Cornwall. Now we are in the fifth generation of the family business, and we still craft our Cornish Clotted Cream in the very same way, making Eliza Jane proud.
What makes our clotted cream so special?
What makes Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream so special? Well it is the delicate golden crust, it’s a mark of quality and our family expertise to get it just right. The cream is gently baked and this is where the magic happens, the crust starts to appear as the tastiest and richest bits rise to the top in the cooking process. Nothing beats breaking through the seal with a spoon to experience the smoothness of the cream below.
