Covent Garden London
The heart of London's West End
The Tea House
Having a less than fantastic day? Fancy a good cuppa? We all know that a good cup of tea can make everything better. Warm and soothing, it's a good way to retrieve a little relaxation, no matter what time of day. For some of the best quality teas and a wide variety of accessories you must pay a visit to The Tea House located on Neal Street.
The only obstacle you will face when browsing around here is that there is such a large variety of teas to choose from. It'll be difficult to know where to begin and where to stop! You will find anything from the traditional such as Earl Grey and English Breakfast, to the more exotic flavoured such as caramel, apple, and tropical fruit. Other good finds are black tea and high quality green tea from China and Japan.
The Tea House is a perfect place to find a unique gift. As well as offering handsome tea containers which have been beautifully painted, there are also many different styles of tea cups, and tea infusers. And what cup of tea isn't beautifully accented by a crunchy biscuit, some clotted cream fudge, or lovely flavoured jam? You can find all of this here.
Akiko Kobayashi, the shop manageress, welcomes you to The Tea House because 'It is a unique shop with a lot of variety-over 100 different kinds of tea. It's a relaxed atmosphere with someone always there to answer any questions you may have.'
So what are you waiting for? The Tea House is open and relaxation is waiting for you!
