This Brick Lane branch is the newest kid on the block from Yumchaa – a small group of cafés specialising in tea. Yumchaa began life as a market stall at sites across London and now boasts six bricks-and-mortar spots around the capital.
More than 40 loose-leaf tea blends are available to drink in (and to buy and take home), with options ranging from black, white and green tea to matcha, rooibos and tisanes. They're served alongside locally roasted coffee, pastries, sandwiches, muffins and salads, as well as tea accessories to purchase from the shop.
