There’s a warehouse in Alexandria where, every Sunday, people gather for a 21-step ritual tea ceremony in a shoebox-sized room of serenity. Owner Cara Chen is the gentle guide, taking them through a collection of rare teas, each grown at extreme altitude for enhanced sweetness, complexity and aroma. The line-up changes but can range from milky cups of prized Taiwanese oolong to fragrant bush blends with lemon myrtle and eucalyptus.
Best for: An ode to tea that’s part cultural exchange, part mindful meditation.
