You NEED to try Bayswater Tea Company.
I live and work in the area, and have recently been trying to wean myself off of my daily coffee(s), and so I stopped in to the Bayswater Tea Co. one afternoon. That was three weeks ago and I have not had any other tea since. The staff is so so knowledgeable--I am constantly impressed with everything that they can tell you about their teas, and how they can pick exactly what you feel like drinking at the moment from a wall full of a myriad of tea tins. My favorite is called Merlins Magic--raspberry, rose petals, and coconut flavors, and it is SO good. A little local honey and it's precariously close to perfection.
They have black teas, green teas, fruit teas--anything you can dream, with fun names likes Monks Blend and delicious flavors like Mango Yogurt. If you're into something more on the chocolatey side, try Divine Temptation. Along the back they also have teas that cure what ails ya--feel a cold coming on? Grab a Healing and Relaxation tea to go. They even have a Throat Tea for singers who strain their voice.
Something for everyone--whether you're a tea fanatic or not. They also have an assortment of chocolates infused with green tea, chai, and earl grey, as well as beautifully crafted pottery (mugs etc) from local artists.
Walking into Bayswater Tea Company is just as soothing as sitting down to an afternoon pot of tea. The light is soft, staff pleasant, and variations of tea endless.
An entire wall of the store is stacked with small-ish containers of normal and strange concoctions. Two-hundred types of tea there are in all, from nettles right through to boysenberry. The store sells tea supplies, like pots and strainers, as well as serves up hot drinks in the café area.
Can't decide which tea to take home? Enjoy a cup in the store first!
Nice tea shop with a great selection. The staff is knowledgeable and mostly friendly and attentive (at least when their friends are not in the store visiting). I am a huge fan of the honeybush varieties and the coconut flavoured black tea.
