Tea Guide

Tea is healthy as well as warming, and if you think that tea just is for old ladies then think again. Tea and tea salons is super trendy – tea is the new coffee!

In Copenhagen there are lots of places where you can take a seat and enjoy a good cup of tea, or have it as take-away. To make is easier for you, here is our tea-guide to Copenhagen.

Tea theme

If you´re into fruit teas and grandma culture you should head for Tea Time. Tea Time is probably the most girlie tea salon in all of Denmark where British romance meets shabby chic. Here you can have your afternoon tea in beautifully ornamented cups, and relax in one of the luxe satin sofas. The assortment is large with many aromatic teas like Bailey´s or quince tea. If you feel indecisive, try their own “Tea Time tea” - a sweet smelling mix of rose leaves, cornflower, orange and vanilla.
Tante T is a fairly new tea salon with fluffy plush interior, cakes and homey feeling. Everything is home-made and you can choose between 130 high quality teas. You can order anything from herb teas to teas flavored with flowers and fruits. At Sing Tehus you can have a cup of tea in a cosy Japanese inspired atmosphere. The green teas are imported directly from Japan and they put a lot of effort on old school Japanese tea traditions. If you like your tea in a more Oriental fashion, you should go to Thé a la Menthé at Rådhusstrade. Here you can enjoy a cup of mint tea while relaxing on the soft pillows and take in the sweet scent from the apple tobacco filled water pipes.

Upper class tea

A.C. Perch’s Thehandel is Denmark´s oldest tea salon and makes the most of traditions and customs. They´ve kept the original 19th century interior and they still use old copper scales to weigh the tea leaves. If you walk up the stairs to the second floor you can have a genuine afternoon tea in the retro tea salon. If you´re looking for a classic Danish patisserie with a touch of luxury you should visit Royal Copenhagen. Here you can pick cakes and biscuits from the grand pastry buffet, and enjoy it with tea served in classic porcelain cups.
Don´t let rain and bad weather keep you from getting a pleasant tea-experience – just put on plenty of warm clothes and you´ll be on your way!
