Darling buds

Launched two years ago from a teashop near St Paul’s Cathedral by Daren and Suzanne Spence, Tea, described rather oddly as a 'bricks and mortar’ tea business, provides quite the reverse of what a builder might be looking for in his daily mug. Whole Rose Buds, Rose Gong Fu and White Peony with Rose Buds contain dried pink rosebuds designed to help your skin retain a youthful elasticity and an even colour. £5 for 100g, from the tea shop or online (020-7248 6606; wearetea.com).
