An Important Public Service Announcement Regarding Tea
[image error]As is generally well known, an Englishman abroad who does not have access to a decent cup of tea can often cut a sad and forlorn figure. Well, this Englishman can, at any rate. It is one thing to build a house and raise a family and hold down a full-time job, but to do so without a decent cup of tea to hand would be unthinkable. Regular readers will know of my deep addiction to affection for Marks & Spencer’s Extra Strong Tea Bags, which have become far harder to come by since M&S pulled out of Poland in 2017. Help was at hand, however, when I was introduced to Yorkshire Tea, a worthy match for M&S. But to secure supplies at a reasonable price presented a new challenge.
Serendipity and good contacts recently led me to a new source. Tucked away among the rows of small pawilons close to the entrance of the smaller block of Hala Mirowska on John Paul II street is a specialist tea shop. If you look on the counter in the photo below, there is a box of 240 Yorkshire Tea Bags that the Polish gentleman let me have for just PLN 29 (GBP 5.87, EUR 6.76). The picture image is not so good, but it is possible to see more boxes of Yorkshire Tea and even a box of PG Tips.
In these days of confusion, upheaval and chaos, it’s important to know where in Warsaw, Poland, one can get a decent cup of tea, so below the photo is a map to guide you to this specialist tea shop. As my American friends are fond of saying: you’re welcome.
