In the centre of historic Oxford lives the famous Covered Market, established in 1774 to provide a permanent home for the city's untidy market stalls. During the reign of Queen Victoria, the market was extended and covered over, providing an indoor/outdoor feeling to the shopping experience, and each shop now has its own, distinct identity. Unlike today the traders in the Covered Market originally

had a monopoly of all sales to the Oxford colleges, but the same tradition of supplying goods of a very high standard and quality persists. was established in 1948, the oldest established supplier of fresh roasted coffees and fine teas in Oxford and moved from its former site in St. Michael's Street to the Covered Market in 1965, where high quality at honest prices is still our watchword.

Ginger Fresh and Chamomile, teabag or loose leaf?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strong contenders in the herbal realm of Cardew herbal products, I have tried a blend of Nettle and Chamomile, that was a lovely blend, and I know Chamomile and Lavender is a fantastic sleepy time blend too!

A pouch managed to sneak it's way into the back of one of the photos with the Chamomile as if trying to remid us all, to check out the whole range of gift packaged loose leaf teas we hold in stock;

~~~~~~~~~

(That was not an invitation to come behind the counter)

How has your August been? Been anywhere nice? (Apart from Cardews, that's a given)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This stainless steel milk jug, with golden handle, was so photogenic. I really enojoyed just taking basic images of it, and not having to do any editing at all either! If you wish to know more, ask in shop!

This hessian sack of what would have held our Monsoon Malabar, just made me chuckle with that I could describe it as "sea kissed" and then got me thinking back on my holiday to Gosforth in the Lake District, and a really bleak day to Seascale, which was beautifully bleak, with the sea giving me cheeky pecks on the face with how windy it was.

Ahh dear, the "C" word has been mentioned, along with an additonal 26 "C" teas, that number may increase or decrease, which will be coming along too, so going to need to get some snaps of those when they arrive!

A bit of an ecletic collection of images today, but each with a tale to tell!

See you in the Shop soon!

Did you know, we have Decaf Coffee?
~~~~~~~~~~
If you do, do you like it? I tried to give the big boss man, John, some Decaf without telling him, many moons again, and he managed to tell it was Decaf! I reckon he overheard me plotting haha!

Threw in a couple other coffees to show offf there aswell, Jamaican Blue Mountain and St. Helena, the top shelf beauts of Cardews, they deserve their own post each I reckon.

Then finally, we have subscriptions on our website, please go check it out!
