Ready for a cup of afternoon tea and a bite to eat?

Take a tea break with us!

I have an unreserved passion and love for tea and tasty food. I lived on the edge of a tea plantation for a while, and perhaps that started my adventures with tea.... who knows!

We have tea every afternoon. Sometimes it's an afternoon party, and sometimes just a great cup of tea with a delicious snack.

I'm Becca, and my husband is Stephen. We've always loved cooking together and baking. Our children have developed their own love of baking. Baking is a family activity that we love and we hope to pass on some of that joy to you.

There's so much more to tea than you might imagine!

How does green tea help you to lose weight?
How long should green tea or black tea be left to brew before pouring?
Should the milk go in first, or last, and does it really matter anyway?

We have great ideas for cakes, or just ideas for simple snacks, and every single recipe has been tried and tested by my family. If we don't love it, it's not here.

What is the very best triple chocolate mousse cake in the world?
Perhaps you're stuck for fresh ideas on finger sandwich fillings?
Or looking for a recipe for mini meringues, or the perfect scone.....
