Tea Traders Carmarthen
Tea Traders Carmarthen
Tea Traders Carmarthen is a speciality tea shop located in the very centre of our local market town. Recently the small independent company has won awards for its great customer service and for being one of the most exciting new tourism businesses in the county. Congratulations! While you are staying at Old Oak Barn we can recommend this lovely new establishment for an amazing choice of tea but also some great tasty fresh food. They also sell the finest loose leaf teas and beautiful gifts for the home some of which have been locally made by popular craftsmen.
I popped in the other day and was given a warm Welsh welcome by Nick and Paul. They opened Tea Traders towards the end of 2017 and already have proved a very popular addition to the town.
We sat outside in lovely sunshine and enjoyed a delicious snack. The lemon drizzle cake and the Ginger loaf were very fresh and beautifully made.
A customer has kindly made them some knitted cakes some of which are on display – I don’t think they are for sale though! But recently they have started stocking a small range of locally made crafts – all original from local craftspeople.

Carmarthen Food Fair
Carmarthen Food Fair
The Food Fair is being held at The National Botanical Gardens of Wales today and tomorrow! With tasty treats and plenty to cheer up the long, cold month of January.
The event takes place in the stunning surrounds of Lord Foster’s Great Glasshouse on January 20-21 and offers a mouth-watering array of delicious local produce – and entry to the Garden is just £4 per person.
Event organiser David Hardy said: “This is your chance to try and buy anything and everything from raw chocolate to rare breed meat, chilli sauce and cheese; special gin, Spanish tapas, muffins, marshmallows, fruit vinegars and faggots. And there will be plenty of fresh, warm Welsh cakes, too. What’s not to like?!”
While at The Gardens which are less than half an hour from Old Oak Barn you can also of course visit the lovely (and tropical!) Butterfly House which is a must-see, boasting as it does hundreds of exotic, rainforest butterflies from all over the world.
Gates open at 10am and close again at 4.30pm (last entry 3.30pm). There’s no additional charge for the Food Fair and there is plenty of free parking for everyone.
Don’t forget: admission to the Garden is FREE on weekdays in January – perfect for a winter stroll in the wonderful Carmarthenshire countryside.
