My roommates and I buy all of our tea here! We are all big fans of the caramel green tea as well as the walnut green tea. I asked the woman working there to recommend similar teas and she did a great job picking out teas for me that I really liked! You get a lot of tea for your money too. It would be nice if Tante T had an English menu(maybe they do and I just couldn’t find it) so that I would have an easier time selecting teas, but the recommendation method works too! My roommates have brought home a couple of duds, like the white chocolate tea, but with such a large menu a few are guaranteed to be less satisfactory than others. You can ask an employee to let you smell the tea before you buy it, which is very helpful!

Looking for a fantastic alternative to the ever so common coffee date? Know absolutely nothing about tea? Know absolutely everything about tea and can’t get enough of it? Need to go grocery shopping at Torvehallerne anyway? If so, Tante T at Torvehallerne is the place for you! The staff here are so kind and helpful, the teas are delicious, they have plenty interesting snacks/cakes to go along with your tea(including some pretty awesome gluten-free options), and you’ll be hard-pressed to not want to buy all the fun things they have for sale beyond tea(they have some pretty great gift ideas for people who are working without an ‘ønskelist’ for that next big birthday party). Just do it.

Decided to stop by here when I see they serve matcha, a japanese powdery and thick kind of green tea. I haven’t been having matcha in forever, as they are not easily found around cph, yet I kind of miss it, so I decided to stop by and to get my «matcha need» fixed. I ordered a matcha latte and a raw chocolate cake to go with. Matcha latte was divine, I like it because there was a strong sense of matcha flavor, the milk was good, and it was not too sweet, so it was a comfortable drink, especially in such chilly weather. Five stars for the drink defo:) The raw chocolate cake’s chocolate was pretty rich, but I’m not a fan of their crust. I personally like dates, but they added dates and all sorts of nuts in the crust, which I thought it was not a match with the chocolate. I personally think that it would be better if it is just the chocolate part and granola cake. Overall, I give five stars, because of the Matcha Latte, Love it!:)

After an unsuccessful tour around Torvelhallerne looking for a decaf latte, we ended up at Tante T for a Rooibos latte. This sounded similar to the herbal Chai option on the menu, so we asked the woman behind the counter to explain the differences. She was emphatic that it was completely different — but from her explanation, I only remember«ginger in the chai.» Back to the Rooibos latte, though. It’s not strong — certainly much milder than a decaf latte — but it’s got a fruity flavor that’s a nice change from the weak coffee we’ve been getting in Zürich. Certainly made a nice beverage to wrap our hands around on the picnic tables out front. Won’t wake you up in the morning — but that’s very specifically what we didn’t want, so it suited us well.

How convenient! My favorite tea room in CPH has a small take away at the Torvehallerne :) That means I can grab my cup of chai latte(or rooibos-honey chai, or mint chocolate chai, or matcha!!!) on the go on my way from my yoga class. Often they have samples of one of their many excellent infusions, which I dearly recommend: I have discovered many great teas that way. The drawbacks? In general, there is only one person behind the bar, which usually means waiting in line for my brew behind a painstakingly slow older lady fulfilling a complicated order of loose leaf tea. Also, a couple of times I requested matcha latte and I was told by the employee in turn that they they don’t know how to make it. Anyway, I always leave happy, with a great brew between my hands and detailed instructions on when to start sipping.
