London Tea Exchange in Tower Hamlets

Ferme fermé depuis quand nous sommes venus de Bordeaux pour boire un thé noir comme d habitude nous avons trouvé ferme façade tahiee Pourquoi ,, et notre déception énorme .

Rather disappointing visit to the tea exchange. Tea is very overpriced at £8 for a pot. Was presented with a pot of liquid (no tea in sight) and since they didn't ask how strong I like my tea, it was pretty awful and weak. You have to ask for milk too. Quite simply I've had better tea in the chain coffee shops. Cake choice was reasonable but didn't taste particularly special...we had red velvet heart cake. Won't be returning.

Came here in a last ditch attempt to get a cake for a 21st birthday. Yasmin was friendly and very helpful in this process. She also demonstrated excellent customer service when it came to the pricing and payment of the cake. The cake itself was very delicious and I would recommend grabbing a slice should you find yourself there.

Fabulous tea - loads of cake, in fact probably too much cake but was able to get a box to take the cake home. Pot of tea per person and a selection of sandwiches. Lovely service from the waiter who knows a lot about the tea on offer. Generally a good experience.

We arrived and were greeted by very friendly staff. The choice on the menu was perfect for us. We chose to have the High Tea choice which consisted of delicious freshly made sandwiches, choice of cake and a variety of small cakes and a scone with cream and jam. A choice of any two pots of freshly made tea from the huge range of tea. The staff were all attentive and gave us advice on choice of tea. It was so nice to be treated like a valued customer. Very Highly Recommended

Popped in with my husband for a break from Brick Lane madness. We found a beautifully serene environment. Yasmeen was attentive and knowledgeable. The tea- and cake (we had to take some home as we could not eat it all) were delicious. We wanted to go back but did not have time. Take time out of your day, sip some tea and get to know this wonderful tea-shop. A true gem and wonderfully relaxing.

Very tasty sandwiches. Really lovely friendly staff. Excellent value for money. My hubby said it was the best iced latte he’d ever had.

What a find 😊 Muhammedba was incredibly knowledgeable and keen to share his passion for tea, with recommendations until we found the perfect tea... we did have to try a couple of different pots, with over 147 different types of tea there was plenty to choose from... the carrot cake was pretty immense to!

Have been here a number of times over past years when visiting London but it’s now gone very down hill. There’s a lot less tables so had to wait for tables to be cleared which took ages but wasn’t overly busy. Waited ages for order to be taken and had to request order taken. Was close to leaving. Tea when it came was nice. Some people were waiting for a long time for their order as we drank our tea. Then had unsurprising extra charge applied to bill.

Popped in to see what all the fuss was about as recommended by my friends and I could not be pulled away from it as I immediately fell in love with the smell of fresh herbal teas. It was so hard to choose from as they had so many to select but in the end I chose one that helped me de-stress myself from a busy day at work. I will definitely be visiting again soon but this time with my family as the environment was so relaxing and family friendly too.

It is a restaurant located in Brick Lane with a lot of tea leaves for customers to buy. We went into this after visiting the Markets in Brick Lane. There were three options of afternoon tea menus choices but as we were not very hungry so we just ordered two pots of tea and two pieces of cakes. You could also order tea by glass instead of pot. The tea we ordered were:- ◇Premium Sencha Sakura It was a green tea. I had never tasted a tea like this before and I loved it! It’s milky and silky with Cherry blossom flavour. ◇Premium Royal Yellow Tea It was a yellow tea. For me, it tasted a bit like Oolong. I was told that this tea would be served in weddings even for the Royal family member’s wedding. I was also told that the color of the tea is bright yellow just like the color of clothes wore by the emperor. 係Brick Lane行完啲Market 入左一間有不同種類茶葉既餐廳坐低飲啖茶食件cake😊 呢度有好多唔同種類既茶葉賣 仲有三款afternoon tea既menu 不過我唔係好肚餓 所以無食到 我地飲左兩款茶 可以per pot或者per glass 每人食左一件蛋糕🍰配茶 不過唔記得左個蛋糕名🙈同埋最後都食唔曬🙈～ ◇Premium Sencha Sakura (味道好特別 之前都未試過 係花香加奶味 我好鍾意❤️） ◇Premium Royal Yellow Tea (同店員傾過原來呢款茶係英國人會係wedding既時候飲既茶 顏色係比一般茶更加黃 店員話就好似清朝皇帝既龍袍個種黃色 我自己覺得味道似曾相識咁 有啲似烏龍)

The tea and the baklava were delicious and the gentleman serving us took so much care and attention with every single piece of baklava and both our teas! Impressive and thank you!

In my online order of well over £100s worth of teas and coffees one of the coffee bags had a hole in it and beans had spilled into the box. Upon bringing this their attention I was first asked for numerous photographs, and subsequently asked to return the beans at my own expense! The promised call back from the manager failed to materialise and upon phoning him he lectured me about their process, refused to listen to me, and finally informed me that he didn’t even care about my custom. I shall not be buying any more teas and coffees from the London Tea Exchange.

Visited the London’s best kept secret, The London Tea Exchange with few friends. You would neither find that many various types of teas in one place nor you would imagine that many kinds of teas can possibly exist in this earth. Stunned to know that at least 825 kinds of teas are in collection each are special and sourced from different corners of the world. The distinct taste of Asian Oolong tea taste can really take you to the next level by its floral fragrance every sip you take you would surely appreciate the aroma it releases in your mouth. We are definitely going back there for more soon.

I wonder if you know how special London Tea Exchange is; I wonder if you know how wide Their collection range is; I wonder if you know how lucky I was to have opportunity to meet Mr Aliur with glance of his twentyyy years hypothesis on TEA. I will recommend everyone to take your loved ones there to impress again as well as take her/him there to impress like Royals. I love it not as something private and personal, which is my own, but as something universal and worthy of love which I have found. Bravo Mr Aliur for your devotedness.

I'm so glad that the London Tea Exchange has reopened. Simply put, it is a tea drinker's paradise. And I especially recommend the Assam tea – it is light, flavourful and truly delicious. The staff are wonderful, too.

You can imagine yourself being transported back in time to the opulence of a tea tasting establishment for the very rich ,kings and queens would use this shop to sample teas from around the world ,you could be on a table next to a royal...

This place is an Oasis of calm amongst the hustle and bustle of Brick Lane The selection of teas is magnificent and the staff are just so accommodating

Not value for money but more importantly not even close to being flavoursome as premium jasmine pearl tea available from other retailers. It's okish at best. I would not pay one third of the price. I'm trying to be as fair as possible and have...

We were lucky enough to have Aliur the CEO and tea master explain the vast array of teas to us and do a 'blind tasting' session. There are so many varieties to smell and sample. He gave us interesting facts about all of the teas,...

Wonderful chance find on Brick Lane after the Truman tower. The decor is what I would call faux "tea apothecary" and it works so well. Lovely, friendly staff. An excellent choice of teas and coffee. A pity we were too full from lunch to sample...

hidden away in brick lane you could walk passed and not realized, once inside staff welcoming and so much choice of tea all in large caddies to order and buy, all on shelves around the tea rooms, small menu but that's all you really need...

What a wonderful establishment! The minute you walk in, you are surrounded by tins of tea and coffee on the walls. It’s a very quiet relaxed setting with table service. Smartly-dressed staff are also happy to guide you through your bulk tea and coffee purchase.

A while ago I discovered London Tea Exchange when I was at Brick Lane so made a mental note to visit it later. I love tea especially when there are so many blends to choose from. Brick Lane is an interesting location for a tea...

It was like stepping back into some 18th century apothecary - mahogany; comfortable, leather chairs; shelves stacked full of jars and tins. But no medical potions here, just tea, and coffee, hundreds of different kinds, and knowledgeable and friendly staff, happy to share their passion....

What a wonderful evening learning and exploring the global tea market. It was amazing to hear, smell and see just some of the hundreds of dry tea leaves from around the world. Will never look at drinking tea in the same way after this experience....

We were smooching around Brick Lane (Saturday afternoon around 4.30), wanted a break and a cuppa and happened upon this place. What a delightful experience. The server discussed what tea we typically drink and what we would like to try. With some guidance, and having...

I went here with my wife and infant son on a Sunday afternoon. This is a popular place so we had to wait ~15 min before getting a table. While we were waiting we got to smell many teas, which helped inform our choice. We...

Nice atmosphere and good quality tea. I loved the way that the tea was kept in a heater to keep it warm. Nice personal service. The only thing that let the place down was the toilet where kitchen roll was offered to dry your hands...

The place was empty when we arrived so it felt a little strange! The service was attentive and the coffee was good. There was a choice of 48 coffees and numerous teas.

We stumbled upon this place while enjoying the vibrant Brick Lane and it is absolutely stunning. Good informative friendly service. Great presentation lovely tea and wonderful cake. Highly recommended.

Amazing tea and coffee selection, staff very prepared on what they are selling to the guests. Absolutely great !!!

The selection of teas were amazing with fantastic service and the cake was amazing!! Calm atmosphere and works well for meetings as well as socialising.

Disappointing tea. That should be at the top. Comfortable though. Had a nice time with friends and family. Lots of show and sniffing beautiful caddies but the drinks were indifferent flavoured and wishy washy.

There’s more than hundreds of tea available under one roof in brick lane. I was never been disappointed taking theirs tea. So I give it a five star rating and strongly recommending to all the tea lovers.

In the middle of brick Lane a quite new tea corner if you want rest and taste wonderful tea from all over the world. Wonderful experience!

perhaps like most, we stumbled across the london tea exchange whilst strolling down brick lane. it was late afternoon and we'd been on foot for some time so it was the perfect spot to divert in to and rest. they've created a lovely tranquil space,...

When entering the London Tea Exchange you immediately know that you came to the right place for a tee. Excellent service. Lot of knowledge on different tea qualities, quiet, sophisticated and calm atmosphere. Also children were treated evenly and they also enjoyed the finest teas...

The walls of this (luxurious) tea room are lined with urns containing over 300 teas (well, there aren't really 300 teas - a relatively small number of different teas infused with spices, fruits and perfumes). The waiter asks you what kind of tea you prefer...

We stumbled across this little gem by accident. The unusual tea room sits incongrously on Brick Lane, at odds with the hustle and bustle of it's surroundings. With mellow jazz piano playing, leather chairs....it's an inviting place helped by the warm and welcoming nature of...

Everything about this place is delightful! The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Customer service was excellent. They asked questions to get an idea of what you would like then showed a few to choose from. I choose chocolate and coconut tea... it...
