Enjoy tucking into your Blackfriars flapjack during your mid-morning tea break? Here are is a fact that you might not have known about tea to consider as you enjoy your tea and flapjack this morning.
At first tea was very expensive – as much as £26 for a pound of tea, when wages were as little as £6 per year.
It was expensive because it took so long to arrive by sea from China or India and because the government put a high tax on it.

Suitcases of flapjacks
Heading off on holiday to the sun this week and of course, couldn’t help myself packing a few flapjack bars along with all my holiday essentials. In fact in the end I got carried away and ended up a few pounds over my allowance. From past experience I know that they don’t sell Blackfriars flapjacks in France and how can I have a relaxing holiday without treating myself to my favorite Blackfiars Flapjacks whist watching the rain out of my tent window?
Where are you taking your Blackfriars Flapjacks this summer?
Full of energy
What’s the best way to get that ‘full up’ feeling? In almost every study I have read, the best way is described as through eating oat based products. Now that can be porridge, but it can equally be the (some would say) rather more delicious tasting flapjack.
It’s because oats are full of the slow release energy so unlike, say, a chocolate bar, eating a flapjack will release energy over a long period of time. This means that you don’t suffer from energy ’spikes’ of feeling hyper followed by feeling sleepy.
So if you want to feel full up, avoid feeling sleepy and have lots of energy over a long period of time then you could do worse that eating a flapjack.
Flapjack selections
Flapjacks might not be the most common thing you find coming through your letterbox at home.
For me the most common thing is bills, followed by letters for things I don’t want to buy followed by things I do want to buy but can’t addord. So imagine how excited I was when I head that Blackfriars were launching a new service where you can order boxes of flapjacks (and muffins and cakes) through the post.
This new service allows you to buy a box of single flavour flapkacks or from one of our popular mixed selection boxes for a fixed price of just £9.99 for 25 flapjack bars
