TWG Tea Leicester Square

Offering the largest selection of teas in the world, all served in Instagrammable colourful canisters, TWG Tea Leicester Square puts tea back on the map in London.

The Singapore-based shop boast shelves upon shelves of teas, a Chinese-themed tea lounge, a restaurant and even a small-scale museum with tea-themed knick-knacks.

Pick from fine harvest teas and special blends for a relaxing cuppa. Or choose one of the many tea-infused dishes from the menu, ranging from mushroom soup with Pu-Erh 2000 tea to chateaubriand steak with matcha fries and a tea-infused vinaigrette.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a tea shop without serving afternoon tea; which also uses tea in creative ways: think tea jelly and tea-flavoured macarons.
