| Relax, have a cuppa! |

In these days of Baristas and Coffee Days, the charming and elegant Tea Centre brings back memories of a bygone era, when you sat at your leisure with a refreshing cuppa tea accompanied by hot buttered scones and the daintily sliced cucumber sandwiches.
Enjoy de olde worlde service, complete with turbanned waiters, fine silver n bone china. You might even catch a live piano performance if you’re lucky.
Started by the Tea Board of India almost half a century ago, the place with its high roof and massive pillars gives you a sense of space and quiet. In fact the moment I walk in I drop my worries at the door, and feel a sense of peace steal over me.
So c’mon in, plonk on a comfy sofa or at one of the tables and summon the waiter with the quaint silver bell. Terribly colonial, huh?
The Tea Centre has every type of tea imaginable, and more. Misty high-country teas like the fragrant Darjeeling and the smoother Nilgiris for the purists. Sourced directly from tea plantations and auction houses in Calcutta, brewed and served the proprah way.
Then you have the more robust Assam teas, the snooty Earl Grey, fun flavoured teas - strawberry, black currant, peppermint, and the good ol’ Indian masala chai.
For the more adventurous, there in an in-house Tea Bar where you can choose your own ingredients and create your own cocktail of tea, hot or cold. A touch of coconut cream and honey, and voila! You have the Thai Chai. How about apple juice and butter? Wow! That turns out to be the surprisingly delicious Hot Buttered Apple Tea. You can even do a ice-cream and tea combinations, spiked with exotic flavours and syrups.
Too much tea happened? Try some of the snacks. There are the typically English scones and waffles, served with butter, cream and honey, warm apple pies and tarts, muffins, pecan pies; desi snacks like pakoras samosas and alu tikkis; conti numbers like crispy stuffed mushrooms (yummy!) and open-faced sandwiches. Their fluffy omelets are famous and served thru’ the day.
Folks this is just the tip of the Tea Centre iceberg. They do absolutely delicious meals here. Go there for breakfast, brunch or high tea.
At breakfast, 8 to 11.30 a.m., you can gorge yourself on their sumptuous breakfast special for about 100 bucks. Or you can do a la carte.
Brunch is noon to 3 p.m.. Check the blackboard at the entrance for their daily veg/non-veg specials, at Rs. 105/125. Or you can do a la carte.
High Tea, from 3.30 pm onwards, sees an array of cakes, sandwiches, pakodas, samosas, french fries (see the rest of the review!). Tea and snacks for two, approx. Rs 150-200
Next door, the Tea Bazaar sells tea souvenirs. The Tea Centre is a couple of buildings away from Churchgate station, opposite Asiatic Stores, housed in the unpretentious looking Resham Bhavan.
