Himalayas Tea hosted a launch event at their new Tea Bar in Mersey Square shopping centre, Stockport.

Guests, who included the Mayor of Stockport, Councillor Chris Murphy, and council leader Councillor Sue Derbyshire, were treated to a lesson in tasting from founder and master blender Maryam Saboohi. They then had the chance to sample a variety of teas and cakes made from Himalayas loose leaf teas, including a rooibos nut tea cake.

Maryam said: ‘The launch night was a great success. We run many different educational, relaxing and fun sessions in our tea bar, including an unusual afternoon tea where everything is made from our teas. Very soon we will have a cocktail house in the evenings.’
