Choose a tea or a tasting course

The tea-and-wagashi option includes up to three infusions of your chosen tea. The tasting course brings together gyokuro, blended tea, roasted tea, matcha and Japanese sweets. Check the current menu when booking.

Reserve a seat

With only eight seats, reserve ahead through the official TableCheck link. The small counter makes this a deliberate stop in your day: leave time to notice how flavour changes between cups.

Tea after dark

Tea-based alcoholic drinks are also listed. Choose your menu and time deliberately if you want a daytime tea tasting or an evening visit.
