Anteaques in Edinburgh, Midlothian

Anteaques is our favourite tea house in Edinburgh. The staff are professional, and truly care about the tea they serve. Cedric, the proprietor, is warm and knowledgeable, and always ready with an accurate description of a tea or a suggestion.

Their locally-made cakes and truffles are the perfect compliment. The front room is light and busy, with a bright window, and shelves of large caddies amongst the antique china sets and brass scales. The back room provides the comfortable, eclectic charm of a Victorian auntie’s parlour.

Opening hours are limited, so reservations are essential. A wonderful shop.

Profile

Bio

An avid tea drinker since my mid-teens, tea has come to represent many things – comfort, relaxation, contemplative time, reward, nourishment – and is infused with many good memories.

My grandma used to meet me on Thursday afternoons after school to take me for a cup of tea at our favourite shop, where I’d also be able to choose a bag of my favourite loose leaf. She always encouraged me to try new varieties, and little by little, my tastes expanded and matured somewhat.

My favourites are Darjeeling and Keemun, although my daily teas tend to be more robust; Ceylon, Yunnan and Assam.

My early favourites were English Breakfast, Earl Grey and Blackcurrant, so although I’m not overly fond of them now, I do enjoy the flavours from time to time for the nostalgic value.

Otherwise, I was not into flavoured teas until one fateful night when a certain young woman I’d just met joined me for tea at an all-night café in New York, and we discovered Dammann Frères’ Jardin Bleu, which has been as high favourite since. So although very happy with discovering the natural flavours of teas, I’ve enjoyed tasting the many flavoured teas of Dammann Frères over the past decade.

I look forward to learning more here, and hearing about other tea enthusiast’s favourites.
