Great staff, very friendly
"Prynais i 2 bag o de yn y siop yng Nghaerdydd heddiw. Roedd y staff yn neis iawn, ro'n nhw'n siarad Cymraeg gyda ni pan o'n ni'n dweud 'dysgwyr ydyn ni'. Ro'n nhw'n gwneud samples i ni a siarad am y te."

When we asked our Cardiff store TEAm to help us come up with their store's very own blend there was a resounding cry for a truly magical Welsh tea.
Now, surely the only thing better than a cup of tea, is a cwtch (Welsh for cosy/hug!) & a Welsh cake.
This blend's got all three! A cosy rooibos blend with sweet bakery notes, cinnamon spice & tangy fruit, just like a welshcake!
As one of our store blends 50% of all profits from sales of this blend will go to our Cardiff store's chosen chariTEA The Queer Emporium Foundation.
Each store has its own blend, designed to represent the people and the local area. Click here to learn more about our Cardiff store or check out the other store blends here!

Reviews
surprenant!
"De voyage au Pays de Galles, je ne pouvais que choisir ce roobois! Il est délicat et surprenant. Parfait au goûter!"
Sweet and cosy
"This one tastes and smells a lot like the Apple strudel rooibos, but I think this one might be a little nicer as it’s a bit more sweet. I think it would be a great milk tea latte but I haven’t tried that yet."
Ang I love and miss you
"I wanted to try this one for my welsh friend because I miss her and it was so very lovely. A warm drink is a good substitute for a warm hug."
A favourite
"Welsh Cake Cwtch Tea is one of my favourites in a long list of excellent teas. Love the subtle spice and the almost sweet (but without the sugar) taste. I will definitely be going back for more."
Welsh cake catch tea
"Brought back happy childhood memories of holidays in Wales with family it is definitely a cwtch in mug Thank you so much"
My absolute favourite!
"I love this. . . a Cwtch in a mug/cup/teapot. . ."
A nice tea
"Really nice spice and fruit flavours!"
Tasty
"It doesn’t remind me of welsh cakes but it’s still really nice! I think it could do with some more dried fruit and mixed spice instead of just cinnamon"
"Live all there decaf teas 🙌❤️"
