This autumn they have gone that extra mile to create a bespoke Limerick Afternoon Tea partnering with the iconic Cahill’s Tea, Limerick’s oldest shop, housed in the old tobacco factory on Wickham Street in Limerick City.
With their expert knowledge, they have created a special blend for Limerick Strand, celebrating their smokey heritage, called the Limerick Strands’ Smokey Breakfast Tea. It is a delightful blend of Rich Breakfast Tea, Lapsong Souchang Tea & Orange Oolang Tea.
Keeping Limerick central to this bespoke Limerick Strand Afternoon Tea experience, Tom has produced his own traditional Limerick toffee, inspired limericks’ infamous and much loved ‘Cleeve’s Toffee’ a condensed milk product. Also, Tom has called upon his local food suppliers creating a delicious menu with producers including:
Apple Juice – Attylfin Estate, Paul Mordont, Patrickswell
Oak Smoked Cheddar Cheese – Old Irish Creamery, James Doherty, Effin
Goats Cheese – Leahy’s Farm, Seamus Leahy, Newcastle West
Salad & Vegetables – Newleaf Urban Farmer, Kevin Wallace, Ballyneety
Smoked Salmon – Burren Smokehouse, Birgitta Curtin, Co. Clare
