For a while now I’ve been running an Afternoon Tea Club for a group of friends. We travel around town, sampling the best teas that we can find. But every now and then I come across a tea which is underwhelming or overpriced and just think… I could do better. Time to prove it.

So I’ve lightened my scones, perfected my meringues, scoured the shops for good china and found a way to buy clotted cream by the kilogram. Next I’m saving ...up for a proper Russian samovar.
