The lost art of tea making returns to Derby

The Heavenly Desserts café in Derby, local artisans of sweet treats, is this month launching a new project to help teach the dying art of making the perfect cuppa through a new tea experience at its Derby café on Derby.


The new tea experience brings together not only an award winning, luxury range of new teas for guests to enjoy, but will also be served with a ‘perfect tea timer’ and guidance from the Heavenly Desserts experts committed to help those enjoying an afternoon break, to create and experience a cuppa brewed to perfection.



Derby’s Heavenly Desserts store manager, Richard Bates, said; “Despite the growth in coffee drinkers, Britain is still a nation of tea lovers with each person in the UK on average downing 460 cups, including a growing younger following for speciality and artisan tea.


“The problem we have found is that the art of tea making has been lost in Derby with many of our tea drinkers rushing the age-old ritual of creating the perfect brew. We felt it our responsibility to help our community bring back this lost art through the best ingredients and our new perfectly timed cuppa.”


The new Heavenly Desserts tea menu has been designed by The Tea Makers, London, winners of the Great Taste Awards in 2016, and includes everything from traditional black teas; specialist herbal infusions and rooibos, however the star of the show is a new range of handmade flowering tea’s.


The Heavenly Desserts team in Derby were not content with just serving the best, but wanted to help guide customers through the process of creating the perfect cup of tea – which is as much a science as it is an art.The tea is therefore not just bagged, it is wrapped in silk Triunes that allow the handpicked, sun-dried buds, leaves and flowers to expand and infuse, and most importantly it will be served with its very own tea timer to ensure the perfect brew - with timings for light, medium or strong, depending on how guests like it.



As a nation, we make over 165 million cups of tea a day, yet research from scientists at University College London suggest that we are doing it all wrong. Its study of 1,000 tea drinking in Britain showed that 80% of us don’t leave their tea to brew for long enough.


The study found that to make the perfect cup of tea it must be allowed to infuse for between 5 minutes to allow the complex flavours to emerge - rushing the process can ruins the whole flavour of your cuppa.


Yousif Aslam Managing Director of the nationwide luxury Heavenly Desserts café concept added; “Luxury isn’t just limited to our desserts and we have recognised that there is a huge growth the in speciality and artisan teas in Derby and the UK, a trend we see only growing as we rediscover our love of a quality cuppa.”
