Classic Black Teas
For many, tea means a proper, robust black brew, and we have the classics covered. Our Scottish Breakfast Tea is a strong, full bodied blend, perfect for starting the day or pairing with a cooked breakfast, and a decaf version is available too. Organic Earl Grey, with its fragrant note of bergamot, offers a more delicate, aromatic option, lovely in the afternoon. These traditional black teas are the backbone of the British tea tradition, and they pair beautifully with a slice of cake or a warm scone.
Herbal and Fruit Infusions
If you prefer something caffeine free or simply fancy a change, herbal and fruit infusions are a wonderful choice. Our range includes Organic Chamomile, a gentle, soothing tea ideal for unwinding, Organic Peppermint, refreshing and great after a meal, and Organic Lemon and Ginger, warming and zesty. There is also Organic Lemon and a Rooibos and Vanilla blend for something naturally sweet and smooth. These infusions are perfect for any time of day, offering all the comfort of a warm drink without the caffeine.
Green Teas
Green tea has been enjoyed for centuries and remains a firm favourite for its light, fresh character. Our Organic Green Tea and Organic Jasmine Green Tea offer a delicate, refreshing alternative to black tea, lighter on the palate and lovely as a gentle pick me up. We also serve an Organic Chai Tea Latte, a warming, spiced blend that brings a little cosy indulgence to the tea menu. Whatever your preference, there is a pot to suit.
CBD Hemp Teas: Something a Little Different
What truly sets our tea menu apart is our CBD range. Our full spectrum CBD hemp teas are served by the pot in a lovely spread of flavours, including Chamomile, Peppermint, Lemon and Ginger, Blackcurrant, Strawberry and Raspberry, Turmeric and Ginger, Wild Cherry and Apple Crumble. They bring together the calming ritual of a warm pot of tea with cannabidiol, a relaxing twist you will not find in many Inverness cafes. A chamomile based blend is a soothing evening choice, while peppermint or lemon and ginger make a refreshing reset. All our CBD products meet UK legal requirements, and our CBD cafe in Inverness page explains more.
The Ritual of Tea
Part of the magic of tea is the ritual. There is something genuinely calming about a warm pot, a favourite cup and a moment to pause, and that calming effect is one of the reasons tea has been cherished for so long. It is a drink made for slowing down, for conversation, for reading, for simply being. Our relaxed, characterful cafe, with classic films playing quietly in the background, is the perfect place to enjoy that ritual, whether you are settling in for the afternoon or taking a quiet break from the day.
Tea and a Treat
A good pot of tea is at its best with something to go alongside, and our cake counter is happy to oblige. A warm scone with jam and butter, a slice of homemade cake or one of our CBD bakes makes the perfect partner for your brew. Our cakes, scones and bakes guide has more sweet ideas. It is a pairing as comforting as it is timeless, and a lovely way to spend an afternoon in the heart of the Highlands.

A Short History of Tea in Britain
Tea has been woven into British life for centuries, and its journey from exotic luxury to everyday staple is a story in itself. First arriving as a costly novelty enjoyed by the wealthy, tea gradually became more affordable and more popular, until it grew into the national drink we know today. The ritual of taking tea, complete with pots, cups and the gentle ceremony of brewing, became a cherished part of daily life, from grand afternoon teas to the simple comfort of a cuppa at home. Scotland embraced tea wholeheartedly too, and a strong Scottish breakfast brew remains a much loved way to start the day. What has never changed is the role tea plays as a moment of pause and comfort, a drink to share, to soothe and to savour. At Rendezvous, we are proud to keep that long tradition alive, one pot at a time.
