The Artea Room launches its own signature tea blend in Potterspury near Towcester
We’ve launched our very own Artea Room Signature Tea, created for us in partnership with Kent & Sussex Tea. This smooth, full-flavoured black tea has a gentle hint of blackcurrant and a light floral finish, making it the perfect choice to enjoy with lunch, homemade cakes or one of our popular afternoon teas. Now available to enjoy in the tearoom.
Joanne 2.0 launched at The Artea Room
We “launched” Joanne 2.0 at The Artea Room this April Fools – complete with extra arms for carrying plates, endless energy and a built-in radar for empty teacups. She could pour tea across multiple tables, clear plates in record time and somehow still chat to everyone at once. Don’t worry, it was all a bit of fun – the real Joanne is still very much here and just as unstoppable as ever.
