The King and Queen visit Essex Rose Tea House
There was great excitement for the staff at the Essex Rose Tea House in Dedham when Their Majesties The King and Queen visited to meet the staff on Thursday. The event marked 25 years of Wilkin & Sons being at The Essex Rose and 140 years of jam making at Tiptree.
Tea for Two – Moments Made to Share
Valentine’s Month is often seen as a celebration of romantic love, but here at the Tiptree tea room, we believe love comes in many forms. Friendship, family, first dates, long-standing bonds, all of these connections deserve a little time, a little sweetness, and a lot of warmth.
That’s why we’ve created Tea for Two – Moments Made to Share, a gentle February ritual designed to slow down, savour the moment, and enjoy good company over tea and cake.
