LINCOLN IMP'S BLACK TEA

Above the altar in Lincoln's magnificent gothic cathedral you'll see a small stone figure. The story goes that the devil sent two of these imps to Lincoln to stir up trouble and, reaching the cathedral, they knocked over chairs, upended tables, tripped the bishop over, and caused all kinds of mischief. The braver of the two imps climbed high above the altar to observe his handiwork. An angel soon appeared to repel them, causing one imp to flee in fear. The other threw rocks at the angel, who retaliated by turning him to stone. To this day, the stone imp stands frozen in place....or at least until no-one is looking, when he often indulges his taste for a fine cup of tea by visiting one of Lincoln's other magnificent Norman buildings, home to Imperial Teas. Not content with helping himself to a cup of tea, he also likes to mess around in our blending room. The result is that we have no idea what he puts in this tea from one blend to the next! Needless to say our blending room only contains the finest teas and flavouring ingredients so we can guarantee you get a surprise of quality! We can't promise you'll get the same tea twice though! The tea is strong and malty with a subtle hint of whatever takes the Imp's fancy.
