There’s something incredibly comforting about sitting down with a cup of tea and a few small treats, and our Afternoon Scottish Treats capture that feeling perfectly. It starts with a tin of Highland Blend loose-leaf tea, 4.4 ounces of rich, earthy flavor that brews into one of those cups that just settles you. And because tea always tastes better with something sweet, the set includes a little pack of Walkers shortbread fingers (0.84 oz), along with two Mackay’s jams: a bright Orange Marmalade with a hint of whisky, and a deep, fruity Scottish Blackcurrant. It all comes nestled in a green tartan box decorated with a Highland cow, the kind of box you end up keeping because it’s simply too charming to toss.
To go with the tea, there’s a new bone china mug, featuring the friendliest Highland cow in full tartan glory. The mug comes with a comfortable handle and a roomy 13 fl oz capacity. The teabag holder is 4 inches across, decorated with thistles and another sweet, shaggy cow. It’s one of those pieces you don’t think you need until you start using it every day.
For a little homemade touch, there’s also a stoneware cookie stamp engraved with a Scottish thistle. It has a good solid weight and a comfortable handle, and it comes with a traditional recipe that makes the whole thing feel even more personal.
Altogether, this collection has a warm, inviting feel, something that brings a bit of Scotland into the kitchen. And if you want to round it out even further, it pairs beautifully with the 100% cotton Scottish tea towels featuring the stag and thistle designs. They add a practical, thoughtful finishing touch to a set that’s already lovely on its own.
