When attending a birthday lunch with a few friends, we fell upon this place where instead of the usual bevvying and pub grub, we had pleasant ladylike tea and scones. At Eteaket they serve a wide selection of teas from green to white to black and they are all made from their own infusions. Upon serving the teas you are presented with a little timer whereby the perfect time for the tea to fully develop is set and you impatiently wait upon your tea being infused. This is just one of the little touches at Eteaket which make the experience even more enjoyable. The staff are very friendly and the interior is quaint and feminine, with a rather vintage theme. You can also order a multitude of cakes, pastries and waistline destroying delights. Of course, if you are trying to detox, like me, after the Christmas period you’re probably best sticking with a nice green tea. I tried the cranberry rose green tea, a very light and refreshing little number which instantly made me feel healthier.  My friend had a Chai latte, which she said was the perfect combo of spices and sweetness. Another had the jasmine tea which comes in a glass vessel containing a little flower bloom, another simple effect that only enhances the occasion. You can also purchase any of the teas which you like from the tea shop itself and carry on the detoxing at home! Fabulous for a catch up with friends or a special lunch, definitely somewhere I’ll be returning to.
