Afternoon Tea in London
- Taste of the Orient at TeaSmith
Afternoon tea in London is an event for which all visitors to the city should make time. For those not familiar with the ritual, afternoon tea in the UK is a delightful way to fill that gap between lunchtime and a late dinner.
Tea can just be a simple cup and biscuit combination, or a more elaborate production involving sandwiches, cakes, and even champagne, it all depends on where you choose to go and how much you are willing to pay. There are few experiences that will make you feel more British than enjoying a lovely afternoon tea at a traditional tea room, but perhaps you have had enough of that and are looking for something a bit more unusual? TeaSmith on Lamb Street in Spitalfields offers a rather exotic afternoon tea that is sure to be a memorable experience for tea lovers. Travellers are always looking for something new and if they can get a bargain, too, well so much the better. TeaSmith has been offering a discounted Afternoon Tea Ceremony for two, charging less than half their usual rates which makes this one of the best tea deals in the city. The afternoon tea at TeaSmith is a four-course event featuring pastries and chocolates from the famed William Curley. The difficult part comes when you have to make your choice of four teas to sample from the extensive collection at TeaSmith. There are green teas and oolongs, red and black and white teas, aged teas and puer teas; really any kind of tea you can imagine. The staff at TeaSmith are friendly, helpful, and extremely well-informed about teas. If all the options have your head spinning, they will be happy to steer you towards teas you will enjoy, answer any of your questions about the teas, and show you first-hand how to brew the perfect cup. This is the sort of place that attracts serious tea aficionados as well as novice tea drinkers. Afternoon tea in London is a learning opportunity at TeaSmith.
