Dont’cha wish your cuppa was hot with tea?

Just off Oxford Street in Soho is a tea-rrific little cafe called Yumchaa, whose mission statement is ‘to make tea (Chaa) that tastes Yum’.

Stepping inside, it feels cosy and not unlike the inside of a university lecturer’s pocket- literary and threadbare. Fusty old books and quaint decor provide a backdrop to customers enjoying the heart-warming teas and frothy chais.

This place seems to bring out the best in everyone too. People are quietly chatting, listening to music or reading emails. It is a picture of civilization only seconds away from the nightmarish dystopia of crowd-ridden Oxford Street.

A pot of tea is only £2:20. You can pay with most cards and enjoy free Wi-fi.

People, this is not just a cafe, this is a sanctuary! Here is freedom for anyone with an ounce of romantic sentiment left in this cold, cataclismic universe.

An Ancient Chinese poet once said ‘tea is drunk to forget the din of the world’. Yumchaa’s brews will certainly make you forget the brutal journey it took to get you here.

By the way, Yumchaa does have EIGHT other locations so the purgatorial walk down Oxford Street is not compulsory to enjoy their teas.
