Specialist teahouse opens in Safa Park
If you’re a tea enthusiast, get yourself along to the newly opened Levels Tea. The specialist teahouse serves 59 varieties of rare and house-blended organic teas.
Caffeine-free bespoke house blends are selected for maximum refreshment like the ‘As Light as the Wind’ with peppermint, rose and lime and ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ with strawberry and mango. A range of black and green premium teas include the lightly scented ‘Lady Violet’ and the enlivening South Korean Green OP made from hand rolled leaves. The ‘China White Monkey’ is made from young, rare leaves much coveted by tea collectors, while the team have curated a selection of fine Darjeeling from India for the classical tea lovers. Adding to the age-old drama of a traditional tea ceremony, the pouring of the China Premium Chun Mee is served in an authentic Chinese tea set hoping to give its guests a truly unique experience.
Alongside all the delights of a modern teahouse experience, Levels Tea guests are sure to be tempted by the aromas coming from the kitchen and bakery. Expect an array of exciting egg dishes ideal for slow and easy breakfasts and freshly made salads and sandwiches for a catch-up lunch with friends or family.
From the best bagels in the city to sourdough, brioche or thyme and olive oil focaccia stuffed with tasty fillings, bread is taken very seriously and offers the ultimate in doughy deliciousness. Must tries include the Pattie Melt – wagyu beef patty, caramelised onion, served with aged cheddar and mustard mayonnaise, as well as the Levels’ house-cured pastrami left for 15-hours for maximum flavour and served with sauerkraut, honey mustard, Russian dressing, Emmental cheese, rye bread and pickle. Expect the freshest ingredients in town as well as scones & cakes fluffy enough to float on.
Alongside almost sixty blends and brews, Levels Tea offers a range of iced teas in every fruity and herby flavour you can think of; plus iced coffee concoctions from teeth jangling salted caramel to single origin cold brew. Hot drink fans will also find plenty of coffee blends to get excited about and hot chocolates for a warming sugar hit.
