I Like Trains Launch Their Own Tea
It’ll be served at their single launch tonight, and available to buy online from tomorrow.
To celebrate the release of their new single (‘Sirens’, due 11th July), I Like Trains have launched their own brand of tea.
It’ll be served (and available to buy) at their single launch tonight at the Brudenell Social Club in their native Leeds, then available online from tomorrow, 2nd July.
David Martin explains: ‘The idea to produce our own brand of tea first to came to us whilst we were touring on the continent and having withdrawal symptoms for a decent cup of tea. It really started to take shape once the tour had reached Nottingham, and we were enjoying a pre gig tea or two in one of our favourite cafes, Lee Rosy’s Tea Room. We asked them whether they would be interested in collaborating on the project, and they were only too happy to get involved. The next step was blending the tea. Lee Rosy’s sent us a load of samples and we spent an evening making and sampling cup after cup of tea, until our signature blend was perfected. We have gone for a strong blend with a unique taste that is suitable for consumption with or without milk. In launching ILTea we now have a great excuse for touring with our own huge supply of quality tea!’
They sent us some a couple of weeks ago, and it really is very nice - well worth picking up. There’s an advert for it too, have a look below.
