My Afternoon Tea Home Delivery

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

A couple of weeks ago for National Cream Tea Day, I had afternoon tea delivered to my door from online shop Delimann. The occassion was afternoon tea day, and Wimbledon was on, so I managed to have afternoon tea for lunch and watch the tennis. The afternoon tea came delivered in a box, perfect for a picnic. (Okay, brewing a cup may be slightly difficult but not impossible with insulated cups.) I was curious to see what the home delivery afternoon tea experience was like, and I was not disappointed. Below is a photograph of what arrived.

The afternoon tea box came with two plain scones and two fruit scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, tea bags, Luscombe Damascene Rose bubbly, dark chocolate truffles, and a vintage-design tea tray. The box arrived with a card to explain how to get the best out of the afternoon tea. All products included were locally-sourced from Devon.

The Luscombe brand rose bubbly (non-alcoholic) tasted of rose and was best served ice-cold. This was a small bottle, and I got a little over a wine glass out of it.

Next up was the tea, which is advertised as a west country tea. The tea was okay, but I do prefer loose leaf tea. There are more than enough bags of tea provided.

I had a fruit scone and a plain scone, and these were slightly warmed in the oven before I spreaded the clotted cream and jam onto them. They did taste very nice, and I was surprised that they tasted as good as they did. I was worried that they would taste mass-produced, but they did not and were very yummy.

The clotted cream and strawberry jam were also sourced from the west country, which is the traditional home of the cream tea.

To follow were dark chocolate truffles, which taste divine. The chocolates are slightly soft and dusted with cocoa powder. I am storing these in my fridge and letting them thaw before I have one, but they have been lasting me a long while. Sorry for the photograph; this was a very large bag filled with chocolates but difficult to photograph.

I was surprised at the quality of the order and would order from the company again. (I ordered these on my own and have not been paid to say this.) Afternoon tea delivery can be purchased for several different events or just as a one-off in order to have a picnic or as a treat.
