eight maids a-milking
The British cure-all – a good cup of tea! And what do you need for that cuppa? Some milk. So we definitely need those maids to get on with the milking – our cuppa is waiting! And, while we’re waiting, our tea cosy is keeping the teapot nice and warm.

tea cosy
Rather different to the “standard” shape tea cosy, this one fits the newer spherical glass ones with infuser compartments. So even if you’re not after the standard cuppa you can still keep your camomile or fruit tea warm!
