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.

Coffee & Culture on Mount Street
Since 1942, H.R.Higgins has been part of Mayfair’s story. From our shop on Duke Street, just a few steps from Mount Street, we have welcomed generations of customers in search of something exceptional. Next week, that story continues as we take part in the Mount Street Arts Festival, running from 13 to 18 October 2025.
International Coffee Day: A Story That Continues
“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
