Scruffy!



While we're at it... Yesterday I was taking about my mug but the question is: what do I put inside my mug? Would you be surprised if I were to tell you it is filled with tea? But a cuppa should not contain any crappy kind of tea. One of my long time favourite has to be the pyramid PG Tips whose history dates back to 1869 when a certain Arthur Brooke opened his first shop in Manchester. I do not think anyone would fall of their chair if I were to tell you that my new favourite tea is also mancunian. Mr Scruff, a DJ whom I have long respected (one of his sets at the Music Box in Manchester remains one of my most enjoyable post-Hacienda nightclub experience), had the good idea to start his own brand. And let me tell you objectively, it is the best English Breakfast tea ever (from Assam, India of course)! It also comes at a GBP 7.99 bargain in a bundle of four lovely packaged boxes (for 200 bags) or in even fancier tea caddies. You have to visit his store at MrScruff.com or you can buy his tea in a few selected Selfridges at the Manchester, Birmingham & London Stores.
