A new café serving 50 types of tea, including a ‘Peanut Butter & Jam’ blend, has opened in Putney.

Independent tea company Yumchaa- slang for yummy tea- opened on Putney High Street today (May 2).

Included on the menu is classic English Breakfast, Peanut Butter & Jam, a green tea blend with peanut brittle and strawberry pieces, and Chilli Chilli Bang Bang, a herbal infusion with chilli, ginger, peppercorns and red thistles.

Also on the menu are real chai lattes, matcha (powdered green tea) lattes, iced teas, tea smoothies and there is a range of tea flavoured ice creams planned for the summer.

Managing Director Josh Mordecai said: “Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. It’s time we did it justice.

“We wanted tea drinkers to have the same choice, quality and relaxed experience that coffee drinkers are getting.

“It’s a modern take on a tea room, with exposed brick walls, ‘shabby chic’ furniture sourced from vintage markets and ‘make tea not war’ emblazoned across the wall. 

“There’s a touch of whimsy about the place with little Alice in Wonderland style glass bottles set up for you to smell the different blends, which have names like ‘Adventure’, ‘Spiced Apple & Pear Pie’ and ‘Wanderlust’.”

Yumchaa is open from 7am to 7pm daily.
