We are thrilled to announce that PekoeTea is embarking on a collaboration with Diageo, one of the world's leading spirits companies. At first glance, a tea shop and a whisky company may seem like an unlikely pairing. But there are many commonalities between tea and whisky. Both involve a careful selection of ingredients, blending and mixing techniques, and a dedication to the art of creation.

It was single cask and single malt whisky from Speyside that started my love and appreciation of Scotch Whisky.  So, when we were approached by Glen Moray distillery for a potential collaboration we were really excited. In this short video, I go through everything that makes our Speyside Whisky Tea and talk about our partnership with Glen Moray Distillery.

These pancakes are lighter and fluffier then crepe style pancakes and are more like American pancakes in texture. What I loved about this recipe was how the whisky, spices and tea flavour really comes through in the Scotch Pancake. 

This is a really simple iced tea that you can make in 10 minutes using a cocktail shaker.  No need to leave the tea to chill overnight.  A couple of years ago we experimented with this method of making iced tea using Lapsang Souchong, so I thought the same technique would work well with our Islay Whisky Tea.  The smokey earthy notes are quite unusual but very refreshing, it's a great option for a non-alcoholic drink on a summers day.
