The Tea House in Covent Garden is a tea drinkers' paradise. It sells loads of varieties of loose tea, my favourite name was 'precious eyebrows', though I don't think I'd actually like to drink it! The pictures aren't the best I'm afraid the shop has 'atmospheric' lighting and I thought it would be bad etiquette to use my flash.

loose tea at The Tea House |
Prices vary from about £3 up to about £12. They would make fantastic presents, especially some of the more unusual flavours. I have a sweet tooth so quite fancied the marzipan blend, the queue was too long though so I didn't make a purchase. It's not too far from where I work so I'll probably pop in and pick some up when it's a bit quieter. I also quite fancied the tea diffusers and tongs, they came in quirky shapes like robot, fruit or rubber ducks- again would make an excellent gift.

The rosebuds smell lovely and would look so pretty unfurling in a teacup |

This would make an excellent gift for the squaddie tea drinker in your life |
The tea caddies and teapots were very tempting. They were reasonably priced considering that the shop is in the heart of one of the main tourist areas in London. I particularly liked the transparent teapot

This is really pretty- if you didn't want to store tea in it, you could put jewellery, receipts etc. inside |
