E-Teas - a newcomer on the local food and drink scene making its debut at the Westmorland County Show - sells loose teas and accessories via the Internet from its base in Flookburgh.

The idea for the company was developed during trips to Europe and further afield in Asia.

"Our love for tea and herbs grew during many summers in the Bavarian mountains and while pondering life on the side of tea plantations in the Philippines," said Paul Simbeck-Hampson.

Varieties include apple and mango, manderin orange and raspberry leaf.

Special teas for special moods and situations also include 'stress relief', 'personal advisor', ' love dream', 'cholesterol' and 'cold and flu'.
