Great meal shame about the tea

What can be better after a good meal in the evening than a quality pot of loose leaf tea? Yet so many establishments simply serve cheap tea bags in a cup; a pot if your’e lucky. I have even been to very expensive restaurants where this has been the case and ended up paying over £2.50 for this dubious pleasure. We are on a quest to find restaurants that serve quality loose leaf tea for their customers. One such restaurant is Fishers at 36/37 St Clements, Oxford. I recently had a really good meal there and was positively thrilled to be able to order an excellent loose leaf Earl Grey tea served in a Suki teapot. Fantastic. Restaurants – let us know if you serve loose leaf tea. Customers – let us know of places where you have had loose tea at restaurants you have visited.
