The Tea Box

A friend and I met here for a sunday tea. When we arrived (about 12pm)the place was empty and I was a little concerned.... but by the time we left 2 hours later the place was packed and people were queing for seats! After looking at the menu I am not surprised as it is really set-up for morning and afternoon tea rather than lunch.

The tea menu is at least 4 pages long - rather daunting I found - so I randomly selected a flowering jasmine tea, which was rather nice.

When the tea arrived it came with a timer that told you when to stop brewing and start drinking for a weak, medium or strong tea! Quite a novelty.

I will definitely be returning to the Tea Box next time I am meeting someone for a hot drink, but if I am meeting someone for a bite to eat I will be going else where.
