Chai Teahouse

So, I just got back from my first Edinburgh tea-​house experience. And how do I feel? Relaxed. Soooo relaxed. Chai Teahouse is such a calming place: it smells delicately of flowers, it’s very clean and light, the music playing was some quiet Nina Simone (which won me over immediately) and the tea was just amazing! I had the strawberry lotus tea, which came in a glass tea-​pot so you could see the flower unfold as it brewed. I can definitely recommend it! The guy working there was very calm and helpful, too. There’s a massive tea menu with everything you could possibly want on it, they do take-​away and they also sell beautiful boxes of the teas, as well as tea equipment — special teapots and spoons and stuff. I had a perfectly lovely afternoon there.
