Taste of Britain Malmö

Treats beyond tea

Sharon from Malmö

""Taste of Britain" in Malmö is an independent shop that imports and sells a terrific selection of British food, drinks & gifts! Very popular with locals..."

Sweden is a seriously coffee-crazy nation. It's currently ranked sixth in per capita consumption of 'kaffe', so tea drinkers -- especially black tea drinkers (as opposed to folks who are into green and herbal varieties) -- can feel a bit left out. Fortunately, for those of us living in Malmö, Taste of Britain takes up the slack in a most delightful way.

This small, independent shop owned by two ‘homegrown British ladies’ (their own description) imports and sells a terrific selection of British food, drinks and gifts, including a wide array of traditional British black tea brands and all the tasty treats you’d want to accompany your ‘cuppa.’ Taste of Britain also stocks many British pantry staples like Marmite, crumpets, and sausage rolls that are much appreciated by the UK ex-pat population living here, especially around the holidays, when you will find items like Cadbury Creme Eggs (Easter) and mince pies (Christmas).

However, it’s the local natives who are among the shop’s most enthusiastic customers. Swedes are extremely well-traveled, and even if they haven’t been to London recently, they consume a lot of UK-produced movies and television programming (subtitled, not dubbed!) where many of the shop’s most popular offerings appear almost as characters. (Curly Wurly anyone?)

The Malmö City Shopping Association recently selected Taste of Britain as its "Shop of the Year" for 2021, citing it for exemplary service and customer experience both in the store and online. Their Facebook page is also actively maintained and frequented by a lively community of Anglophiles like me.

About me I’m an American-born communications professional who always dreamed about spending part of my career abroad, but also imagined it would be in a country where English was the native language! Then I met a charming Swedish scientist on a trip to London and less than two years later I arrived in Malmö as a “love immigrant.” Since then I’ve become a Swedish citizen, achieved fluency in the language (not an easy task in middle age!) and married the Swede who lured me over here in the first place (finally!). I’m passionate about having new experiences, travelling, being outdoors, usi...

Emporia

Not just a shopping center

"Emporia" in Malmö is a shopping mall, yes -- one of the biggest in Scandinavia, no less. But it's special for me for two reasons unrelated to shopping...

Parkrun

Your weekly dose of 5k

Do you know "parkrun"? It exists all over the world. The idea is to go run a 5k every Saturday morning. In Malmö, they do it in one of the best places!
