High tea: Eteaket Edinburgh

Hey my loves, 

Today's post is one for the tea lovers out there, or the high tea, afternoon tea lovers among us.
During a little meet up with a friend, we love to wine and dine and do loads of afternoon teas and things. So we decided we would try Eteaket's an Edinburgh based tea company, with an online store to buy different teas, vouchers and even a monthly tea club. 

But back to business here and a little review of this adorable little tea place, in the heart of Edinburgh, based in Fredrick Street, Erica the owner opened in 2008. She supports many different charity causes, including Aberlour Childrens trust, Education for children of Assam India, as well as many other local charities. 

Myself and my friend, Jade. Went in at around twenty past one on a Sunday afternoon. The place was busy but not too busy, they couldn't squeeze us both in. We both chose to have the high tea, as we wanted to taste their food but weren't hungry enough for a full on afternoon tea. So in the high tea, you get half sandwich, scone (including, jam and clotted cream) and a mini patisserie cake and a pot of your own chosen tea. I went for the pesto chicken sandwich and white peony tea. Yes I went out of my comfort zone and went for a random tea, that I wasn't even sure if I would like it or not. But there is loads of teas to chose from.. Check the tea menu alone.

We got served our teas and got told to leave them infusing for 3 minutes and had a little egg timer to tell us when it would be infused enough. We got given super cute teacups and saucers for our tea. Then our high tea, was served on a cute little platter plate for one.
The tea its's self was enjoyable, fresh tasting and was refreshing on the palate. Sandwich was tasty, although the pesto was bright green, but yummy none the less. The scone was huge... But tasty. I got a citrus patisserie, which would have been nice if you liked citrus flavours. But it wasn't my favourite. For £8.95, which is amazing value especially in the Edinburgh area, as any sort of high tea, afternnoon tea, which is still only £15.95. Which is incredible for some locally sourced food and getting to chose your own tea. As in other places, you get the normal tea. I think getting to chose your own tea, makes the experience all that more enjoyable. 

So if you are a tea lover, high tea, cream tea, afternoon tea lover or just a lady who likes to lunch and find yourself in Edinburgh. I would definitely go and check out Eteaket. Or check out their online store and buy some of their amazing tea. I need to go back and try their chai latte or their tea based cocktails.. Yes you heard that right.
