There is a wide selection of teas offered by Tealeaf, including their special Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy blends.
The presentation of bread, pies and sweets is very modern with a four-tier wooden and silver tray. The sandwiches are assembled to perfection and include an egg mimosa with a hard-boiled egg, topped with airy egg mousse and paprika; a striped cucumber brioche stacked with cucumbers and dill; grilled chicken sandwich with chicken breast, Russian sauce, tomato and lettuce; a smoked salmon sandwich on pumpkin bread with pickles, lemon and cream cheese and a mini custard with mushrooms and Gruyere cheese.
