Prestonfield's Tea Selection
Scottish Breakfast
A strong malty breakfast tea blended in Edinburgh by our local Edinburgh tea merchants in Rosevear Tea. Malty large leaved tea from India and China, with a hint of sweet orchid flowers and softly smoking cinders, combine to give a reassuringly strong brew
Queens Breakfast
This blend of Ceylon and Darjeeling black teas is made especially in honour of Queen Elizabeth II. It combines the floral aromas of Darjeeling with the richness and strength of Ceylon
Earl Grey Blue Flower
A full-bodied black tea with aromatic bergamot and blue cornflower petals. A superb Earl Grey
First Flush Darjeeling
Tea from Darjeeling is known as the 'Champagne of teas' and the most sought-after Darjeeling teas are plucked in the first harvest (known as the first flush). Aromatic with vegetal, mossy and citrus notes
Lapsang Souchong
The scent of a wood-burning fire and the taste reminiscent of a smoky single-malt whisky. This is an earthy, smoky, aromatic and truly delicious tea. 'Lapsang Souchong' was a favourite tea of Sir Winston Churchill and is one of the most recognisable of all Chinese teas
Winter Tea
A full-bodied black tea with almonds, aromatic rose petals and vanilla softening the winter spices, while the citrus peels bring an orangey note. All the warming flavours of a mulled wine with a smidgeon of fruit cake. A beautiful blend of flavours
Jasmine Blossom
This organic Jasmine Blossom green tea has been naturally scented with jasmine by layering fresh jasmine flowers onto the tea and then removing them four times
Crimson Twilight
A wonderfully refreshing organic Rooibos with many levels of flavour: the initial sweetness of the orange and the light vanilla undertones of the rooibos are offset by the complex tart notes of the hibiscus and citrus peels
Rose Petal
The fragrance of roses in a cup. Freshly dried rose petals blended with an aromatic Chinese congou black tea and essence of Rose
Lazy Summer Afternoon
Black tea with rhubarb pieces. Velvety smooth, with notes of strawberry, cocoa, caramel and vanilla. It is the perfect drink to savour in Prestonfield House where rhubarb was first introduced to Scotland
Vanilla
Rich Assam and Ceylon black teas with vanilla pieces. Touches of burnt sugar from the vanilla together with hints of citrus from the Ceylon emerge to make a fascinating and fabulous tea
Hazelnut
Chinese black tea with hazel leaves give this blend a rich nutty flavour and a natural vanilla sweetness
Green Dragon
A full flavoured green tea from Yunnan, the birthplace of tea in China with a fresh, clear and relatively strong infusion when infused for several minutes, but it is also a tea that can be enjoyed lightly infused for a delicious subtle grassy note
Evening Chai
A beautiful warming and spicy herbal blend on a base of cocoa and carob pieces, with the delightful addition of exotic spices that include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, liquorice and cloves, with an added sweet vanilla note
Rhubarb Rooibos
A blend of rooibos and rhubarb pieces. It has the distinct, authentic taste of rhubarb with a creamy vanilla undertone from the rooibos base. A perfect caffeine-free infusion to savour in Prestonfield House where Rhubarb was first introduced to Scotland
Wholeleaf Peppermint
Exceedingly aromatic whole peppermint leaves. The most intense peppermint tea we have ever tried
Camomile Flowers
Very aromatic with notes of apple and a floral sweetness. Take a moment to relax with this classic herbal tea. Camomile flowers are reputed to reduce insomnia and stress while boosting the body's immune system
Lemon & Ginger
A blend of lemon peel and ginger pieces that makes a strong citrus and ginger infusion. There is so much flavour that this blend can be reinfused another three or four times. So much more real and strong than any Lemon and Ginger flavoured teabag. A refreshing caffeine-free drink
