Autumn has certainly arrived, so we’re saying goodbye to iced tea and hello to warming, seasonal drinks.
To celebrate the new season, we’re taking inspiration from the high street and showing you how to recreate famous autumn drink specials at home with Tidy Tea (and coffee!) – we’ll also be using products from some of our favourite Welsh food and drink businesses along the way.

We’ll be posting more Tidy Tea serving suggestions across our social platforms, so make sure you’re following us on TikTok or Instagram!

Maple Sea Salt Coffee
Maple flavours are back on the high street this year, so of course we’ve put a Tidy spin on it! Say hello to our Maple Sea Salt Coffee, made with our Tidy Coffee bags and Halon Môn Sea Salt.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Tidy Coffee Bags

- Milk of your choice
This recipe is super quick to make:

Did you know that sea salt enhances the flavour of coffee? It blocks the bitter taste receptors on your tongue to give a smoother finish!
