Enjoying tea traditions
since 1975

No, we didn't open our tea room until September 2024. But my tea-story started decades ago,
when I first tasted tea in my childhood home as part of an English South African tradition. That was the foundation.
From there, it was simply a matter of steps through time that eventually led me to this moment: My very own Salon de Thé.
