To A Tea

Whether you take it strong and sweet or light and lemony, tea is the perfect feel-good bevy for those blistery winter days ahead.

With tea shops sprouting up all over town, getting a good cuppa is easier than ever. But true connoisseurs know to head to the House of Tea, where even the pickiest drinker can find the perfect blend among the hundreds of green tins that line the shop walls. Owner Marisha Golla’s credentials as a tea taster in her native Sri Lanka mean you are in good hands.

We leave armed with a classic Earl Grey, a lemony herbal brew and a delightful Rooibos Chocolate Truffle for those special Sunday afternoons by the fire.
