About us
A small tea room with a big teapot
Meet the people who choose the teas and bake the cakes, and take a look around the tea room.
Our story
A quiet corner for a proper cup
We are a small, independent tea room and tea shop. We taste every tea before it goes on the menu, bake in our own kitchen, and are always happy to talk you through the list.
- Loose-leaf tea in every pot, never teabags
- Cakes and scones baked in our own kitchen
- Each tea brewed at its own temperature and time
- Friendly advice, whether you know tea or not
Tastings & workshops
Taste the difference a leaf makes
Sit down with a few teas side by side and you will never look at a teabag the same way. Our small-group sessions are relaxed, practical and full of tasting.
- Monthly tasting: five teas from one region, with cake
- Brewing basics: water, heat, time and the right pot
- Matcha morning: whisk your own bowl
- Private tastings for groups of up to 12
