The Tea - Camps Bay iNingizimu Afrika

What more could you ask for than some lovely tea on a rainy afternoon : A+ for their lovely selection of quality loose leaf teas. Enough with all the coffee shops. It's about time we are re introduced to the age old culture of consuming tea. Come get your daily caffeine boost with your tea without the jitters that you would get from consuming coffee... its a way more smoother boost as tea contains theanine which lowers the side effects of caffeine such as the jitters and it actually adds more focus and concentration when it is combined with caffeine caffeine and theanine have a synergistic balance. Ever wondered why the monks drink so much green tea and then sit and meditate for hours?!    :P

Lovely quiet tea experience. Love their Rooibos blends. Great courtyard seating in beautiful setting.

The most beautiful, magical tea shop. This space used to be an antique jewellery store which has tastefully and respectably turned into a tea bar. The teas are all all exotic as well as approachable. Ceylon tea, green tea, white tea, you can find them all here as well as some amazing blends. The matcha from Lady Bonin is incredible. Very high quality and the best taste I've come across. There is a space at the back of the shop, just beyond the enchanting courtyard where tea rituals also take place. The shop really is a diamond in the rough of the city.

Fabulous tea bar and incredible selection of standard teas, matcha (yes! , foreign teas, steeps and chai. Centrally placed in Cape Town and surrounded by similar health-conscious establishments, this is certainly a place where you can relax for over an hour. Also a good spot to experience new tastes. No WiFi though.

Great little tea bar in busy Long street. I've been here several times but I still almost miss finding it because it's so tiny. There is a small courtyard to sit and eat/drink. The lattes are definitely motivation to give Lady Bonin's a visit this winter. Their little cakes and biscuits are also a treat. If you want a real matcha latte without the sugar added at other places, then theirs is highly recommended!
