In 2019 we partnered with Mackintosh at the Willow to develop an exclusive tea blend to be served in the newly restored Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed tea rooms in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.
Miss Cranston opened the tearoom in 1903 and was supplies by her brother Stuart who was a tea trader who started trading in the 1870s.
Crafted by hand in Edinburgh, the 1903 Blend is a light afternoon tea containing teas from Sri Lanka, India and China and decorated with rose petals in a nod to the rose motif found in the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Usually this tea is not available outside of the Mackintosh at the Willow but with the tearooms being closed due to Covid 19, the tearooms are struggling from the loss of income, which could make it impossible for them to re-open.
Mackintosh at the Willow is a not-for-profit social enterprise and is the last surviving example of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s original tearoom designs.
We are donating 100% of profits from the sale of this tea to the Mackintosh at the Willow.

I had the pleasure of tasting this delicious tea in the beautiful Willow tea rooms in Glasgow. The fragrant, light tea was a highlight of my weekend and I recommend it highly to any tea lovers - you will also be helping one of the most amazing buildings in Glasgow too, so it’s a win-win!
