Wassail

editor — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:29:14 +0000

A big thankyou to everyone that attended our annual Wassail ( or Yowling as we call it in Kent )

It was a beautiful cold, clear and frosty night, but our toes and hands were kept warm by the big bonfire and plenty of warm SPICED CIDER.

Bread and salt was left for the Robins and CIDER was given to the the “King” tree in accord with tradition.

This year all of our guests donned masks creating a magical atmosphere , there were some fantastic homemade masks to be seen ( check out our Facebook page for the full album! )

The music and songs along with the blessing of the trees were provided by a number of our friends from ‘The Dead Horse Morris’ of Whitstable, Kent.

We are immensely proud to announce that our Spiced Cider has been acclaimed as one of the top 10 Ciders in the UK by the Independent Newspaper. This follows the great recommendation that our Spiced Cider received from Last Novembers Sunday Times Style magazine.

At the events we have attended so far this year our “Iced Spiced Cider” has been proving a firm favorite on the Hot Spring days that we have been having.

Serving Suggestion:

Take one large jug add a generous handful of ice, a couple of wedges of juicy fresh orange and a sprig of garden mint. Serve in a tall glass. Delicious!

Tydeman Early

editor — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:38:14 +0000

Tydeman’s Early Worcester (Malus domestica) is a stunning, early season apple .

Last year we picked the fruit from this delicious, strawberry flushed apple from late August through September. Tydeman Early can be dated back to Kent orchards from 1929 and is a very juicy, bright crimson apple with some delicate, darker red striping.

Our Tydeman Early single variety cider is particularly enjoyable served chilled with a Ploughman,s Lunch where its fresh apple flavours can be fully appreciated.

This cider is a favourite with a number of our restaurateur’s whose customers find that it is a great accompaniment to a wide range of foods.

We have a limited quantity of this unique single variety cider so make sure you get to try it!

Standfast twig! Bear well top!

A big thanks to all that attended this years Yowling. Music and songs provided by Dead Horse Morris from Whitstable.

Cider, bread and salt were left as an offering to the tree spirits to ask for a good crop for the year to come. All in all a nice way to welcome the new year.

Although we still have a bit of winter to get through, the hedgerows and the animals that make them their home are beginning to show signs that spring is not to far away.

Pruning is nearly over and we have started preparation for the planting of our new orchard.

After an extremly busy and hectic December with the “Spiced Cider” January gives us the opportunity to re-group and plan for the year ahead.

In addition to our range of UNIQUE, HAND PRESSED, ARTISAN APPLE CIDERS we have added to our range a PEAR CIDER, which is the quintessential taste of the KENT HARVEST.

An interesting and exciting year ahead!

“After all, with the arctic chill creeping inside our knitted layers, sometimes we need a bit more than another red cup from starbucks. A glass of gently heated Kent Cider’s Spiced Cider (£37.50 for 10 litres) has all the warming qualities of a good mug of coffee, but about three time’s the kick”.

Spiced Cider

editor — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 20:52:34 +0000

With this years cider making drawing to a close we are concentrating our efforts on making our delicious Spiced Cider.

Fresh ginger, cinnamon, cloves, star anise all go into the making of this scrumptious sweet cider.

Serve gently warmed as a relaxing treat on a cold evening.

Fantastic on its own, even better with a mince pie or two.

Our Spiced Cider is available to buy online or through our numerous outlets.

Artisan Cider

editor — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:52:57 +0000

Our aim is to produce ciders with depth, unique flavors and finishes. Flavors that offer an alternative to wine, flavors that represent the seasons, compliment different foods and can be enjoyed in their own right at home or in the pub.

“A range of ciders that are rustic yet refined”

To achieve this we follow a rustic process sourcing heritage apple varieties, pressed by a traditional oak hand press then allowing nature to take its course in fermenting the juice. We then take the process a stage further by selecting those ciders that benefit from aging and letting them mature in oak barrels or adding blends of spice to create a variety of spiced cider.

“The best, ripest apples, picked by hand, milled by hand and pressed by hand”

Real Cider

editor — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 10:09:59 +0000

Real cider is the product of fermenting fresh apple juice. . No artificial sweetners, flavourings or colourings are permitted.

Select the ripest apples, press with care to extract the best juice, ferment in suitable containers, rack to storage vessels to mature.

And finally when nature has taken its course enjoy a glass (or two) of Real Cider.
