Firstly, lets get this clear. Yumchaa is a chain of tea shops now sprouting up at many different places in London but this one I am talking about is a Yumchaa in Camden Lock overlooking the little food market and the canal and makes you feel like you have walked into one of those quaint little tea stalls tucked away in a little alley in a perfect little town.
Stepping into the rugged unfinished walls and decor just makes you ease out and feel relaxed that nothing around you including you needs to be in an orderly way. Just let go, sip tea and be with yourself.
The selection of teas are remarkable. My post, many months ago on tea was the first one to take me into the world of different teas, but this took me to a whole new level.
You can pick from black, green and white (never knew they existed). The tea leaves are places in little mugs which you can smell into and read through the description of what goes into the tea.
I picked Wild Rose - the aroma of the rose petals with the earthy flavour of tea was just the thing I enjoyed.
You get the rules of working through your tea (well.. nothing too strict) and get one of the prettiest tea pots to dive into the warmth.
The selection of cakes and the way they are displayed makes you wanna grab a bite.
I've been there a few times now and would recommend as a stop over from walking around the otherwise busy Camden Market.
