Coffee seems to have taken over the British consciousness, but we mustn't forget the origins of our 'teatime': the lovely cuppa. Fighting the corner of a good mug of cha is Yumchaa, a London-based company championing the power of tea (and scrummy sweet things too) with a number of physical stores and appearances at a number of London's coolest markets.
Yumchaa has two stores in London; one in Camden and the other nestled just off Oxford Sreet in Soho. It's a far more enticing prospect for a post-Selfridges (I can dream!) pick me up than your run-of-the-mill Starbucks; the range of brews here is quite extraordinary and varies across herbal, green, black and white teas. There are - for those of you who like to forget it’s freezing outside - iced teas (think a Starbucks iced fruit drink) which truly taste of tea. My pick is the Mango Mango - it isn’t cheap at £3.20, but it is bursting with green tea flavour and mangoey freshness.
Add to this the attraction of free wifi, a genuinely ‘independent’ feeling and delicious freshly-baked cakes and we have, ladies and gents, a winner in the beverage vending stakes!
