The daily lemming

From Eteaket, Isle Of Harris Gin Tea. "With our Isle Of Harris Gin Tea we’re taking the T in G&Tea to a whole new level! Using the unique botanicals the Isle Of Harris Distillers use in their incredible gin, we’ve produced a tea blend like no other. The Isle of Harris Gin Tea is a herbal caffeine-free blend and includes Juniper, Coriander, Angelica Root, Orange Peel, Liquorice Root, Cassia Bark and Sugar Kelp which is hand harvested by a local diver from the deep underwater forests of the Outer Hebrides. This unusual botanical gives the gin (and now this tea) its distinctive flavour and special smoothness." £7.95 for 100g at Eteaket.

Fortnum & Mason's Christmas Spiced Tea: "...a seasonal favorite ­– a fragrant, warming blend of Yunnan black tea flavored with cocoa nibs, cloves and safflower petals. Enjoy it with Fortnum & Mason's biscuits for an authentic English tea time treat." $34.95 at Williams Sonoma.

From The Republic of Tea, Mrs. Patmore's Pudding Tea: "This decadent dessert tea has the homemade flavors of vanilla sponge cake drizzled with rich caramel sauce. The full-bodied base of premium black tea lends itself well to a splash of milk, making it a perfect afternoon tea to partner with puddings, scones and shortbread." (This sounds too sweet for me — I just like seeing Mrs. Patmore's face on the tin. Do comment if you've tried it!) $12.25 for a tin of 36 tea bags.

Mariage Frères Tea Jelly, in Earl Grey Impérial: "Created by the Mariage family in the 19th century, these collection of tea jellies, manufactured in the traditional way in copper pans, are a wonderful accompaniment to toast, brioches and scones. The fruit of this ancestral knowledge, this tea jelly, flavoured with the greatest bergamot, combines its subtlety with the splendour of the best Darjeeling teas." €8.50 for 240g.
