The Tasting Lab has been an Idea and pet project for a while, so I'm glad I get to see it come to fruition. It was conceived as a way to showcase ideas, finds, and old blending classics from the Big Black Book that haven't seen the light of day in decades, possibly even a century. A way to glimpse the ideas that go on behind the scenes at Head Office, and bring others along on an interesting taste-journey.

Experimentation has its ups and downs; occasionally you come across a tea you adore, but can't source the quantities you need for a full release. Sometimes you have ideas for flavour combinations that are so out there, you don't know if anyone else would be willing to try. Murchie's has a lot of history, and I look forward to exploring some of it with interested tea drinkers.

We love a treat anytime but especially a chocolate treat at Easter, and this soda fountain classic “egg cream” would make anybunny smile at Easter brunch. Served in a tall frosty glass, it's satisfyingly both chocolatey and refreshing! Try this recipe for a Murchie’s version.

We can always rely on a good cuppa whether it be first thing with crispy toast, in the afternoon with sandwiches or a decaf version for after dinner with biscotti. But with chocolate? Only Easter inspires such a perfect combo. Read on for a surprisingly easy to make recipe for egg shaped Earl Grey chocolate truffles.

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, try your luck with our tasty Irish Potato Scone recipe.
