The Tea
Taking its name from the street of our shop in Mayfair, Duke Street Blend is one of our best sellers.
A favourite of Mr Tony’s sister Miss Audrey, this blend is wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of day, whether you’re looking for a strong, brisk cup to wake up with or something full flavoured to complement a sweet treat of an afternoon.
We blend Assam and Ceylon teas for an invigorating cup. Ceylon provides bright, refreshing notes while the Assam gives a strong and malty aftertaste. This produces a deep colour in the cup and a vibrant flavour that fills the mouth.
Duke Street is a perfectly balanced blend of Broken Orange Pekoe leaves. Due their smaller size, these leaves allow the water to infuse very quickly.

The Sound of Footsteps, and the Call from the Palace
Our Accountant, working in the same room, had just turned to me and said “Mr Tony, that is Buckingham Palace on the phone to Miss Audrey” I replied “Really, I wonder what they want?”
Introducing El Salvador Finca El Ingenio
We’re often asked when the next new coffee is coming. The truth is, bringing a new coffee into the H.R.Higgins range is never rushed. It’s a process that takes time, care and a great deal of tasting.
Finca El Ingenio is the result — a distinctive coffee grown on a sixth-generation farm in El Salvador’s Ahuachapán region. Shade grown, Rainforest Alliance certified and honey processed, it offers bright grapefruit and lime, tropical fruit and a smooth fudge-like sweetness, with just a hint of funk.
