If you’re looking for something to do this Easter weekend then let me tell you about an adorable tea shop hidden on the top floor of Kingly Court, located just behind Oxford Street. Camellia’s Tea House is a quirky family run tea house that serves and sells well over 100 different tea’s that are all hand blended. If you’re a tea lover like me then this will be your idea of heaven. They have so many different blends of tea and some with amazing names like ‘Skinny Bitch’ and ‘Bobby Marley Blend’. They also have a chocolate tea which I took away with me as I thought it would be the perfect guilt free treat for Easter.
It’s run by a brother and sister, but the real star of the show is their Mother Jessie. She works at the front of the house and is absolutely lovely and so knowledgeable. The family believes in drinking teas for their therapeutic and health benefits and Jessie will give you a natural remedy for almost anything.
During my visit I shared the gluten free lemon and almond cake and the lemon drizzle cake, which were both absolutely delicious and I would recommend them to anyone. I also tried Matcha tea for the first time, which is definitely interesting and well worth a try if only for the bright green colour.
If you’re shopping in central London this weekend you should try Camellia’s as it’s the perfect retreat from busy oxford street and if you can’t eat cake at Easter when can you?
