Please browse the rest of our site if you have the time and we will see you soon.

We are based in an old Victorian public house that opened in 1886 on the site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens; immortalised as the ‘Vanity Fair’ in Thackeray’s eponymous novel.

We serve some of the best loose leaf teas available, proper sandwiches and homemade cakes; not to mention the best full English breakfast in London. Our teas have individual subtle flavours which would be overpowered by the instant, coarse, hit of coffee, so we do not sell it.

We make our own marmalade and jams, all for sale by the jar and all our teas can be bought by the ounce online (to view our range click here). Our meat comes from our local butcher and our fruit and vegetables from the local market gardens around us.

We are trying to be different. We will not hurry you. If you visit us on your lunch break, then have one, you will be more productive in the afternoon. If you want to have a meeting, we will not disturb you. If you are ‘working from home’, we have wifi. If you have children, we have highchairs, a chest of toys, and milkshakes. We always have the daily papers, so please, relax, and share in what we are trying to create, take a load off, and have a cuppa.

Extra Toppest, Oriental Beauty (4oz)

£32.00

A premium Taiwaneese Oolong. This tea is carefully manufactured by hand so as not to damage any part of the leaf. Also known as Bai Hao Oolong. Bai Hao Oolongs are plucked in the early summer, about a month later than other Oolongs in the Nantou region of Taiwan. Over this month long period the tea leaves are naturally torn while they are still alive on the plant at almost a microscopic level. Much like our muscles, when tea leaves are naturally torn, its reaction is to send as many nutrients to the damaged part of the leaf to help rebuild it stronger than it was before. It is at this very moment that the tea farmers pluck the leaves, by hand thus retaining all the extra nutrients. The tea is then oxidised for a long time (giving it a darker colour) and then fired to help retain the flavour. The end result is a truly magnificent large leaf tea with a delicate liquor and a wonderful aroma with notes of orange and honey and distinctive Formosan floral character.
