Good To Know
Ask For A Private Session
Before Your First Visit
Yes. Each session seats only a few guests so the host can pour for everyone; book on the Book A Ceremony page and pay at the tea house.
Of course. The tea room serves pots of any tea on the menu from opening to an hour before closing, no booking needed.
Try the Tea Finder: choose the notes you like and it ranks our teas by how closely they match. Our sommelier is also happy to suggest one.
Every tea we pour is in the shop as loose leaf in 25, 50 and 100 g tins, with its own brewing guide.
