Green Tea

The first of all the teas, green tea was brewed and enjoyed some 1400 years ago. The very best green teas are generally picked in early spring. The fresh leaves are immediately exposed to high temperatures to curb the oxidation process which creates those nutty, spring vegetable flavour notes we know so well

Oolong Tea

A complex tea for discerning drinkers, it's also quite complicated to produce. In fact, it takes years to master the process of controlled oxidation that can be ramped up from green oolong (about 25% oxidised to retain that those green vegetal notes) all the way to red oolong (85%) for a toasty, woody, fruity infusion

Created in Fujian, China during the Qing Dynasty (1644 to 1912) this is the most oxidised of all known teas. What does that get you? Well, it can vary. Chinese red teas are generally sweet and fruity, whereas Indian red teas are robust, malty, and astringent

Such a beautiful experience. I went in for a solo date night and did the Desert Degustation! The tea bar itself was gorgeously dimly lit with the prefect music. Everything was just clean and relaxing. It’s the perfect place for an intimate catch up, as it’s not too loud. The food and drinks were to die for. That’s it! I’d trade my left arm for a lifetime supply for the canelé. Finally, the staff. They were absolutely brilliant and attentive with all the tables in the restaurant. They took time to give recommendations and appropriate pairings. As a solo diner, the staff can make or break your experience, and at Yugen Tea Bar, they are phenomenal. Can not wait to go back!

The food was good and tea was amazing but it took 45 minutes for someone to take our order and whilst we were keen to order more it took a substantial amount of time for someone to check in with us so we didn't bother. We will be returning with caution as we enjoyed the tea but were sorely dissapointed by the service when it wasn't particularly busy and there were 4 members of floor staff around.

Beautifully designed tea bar and great atmosphere. Were able to sit us 20 minutes earlier than our reservation which was appreciated. Took a little while for our waitress to return to take our order and for the desserts and tea to come out but not too long and we chatted away in the meanwhile. Tarts were amazing and the tea was beautiful. I would suggest the waitress coming by a bit sooner to ask if wanting the tea rebrewed as it was asked when we were almost finished but still appreciated. Would definitely return and try out the high tea.

Our booking was for a special event - tea and cheese pairing - which was absolutely outstanding and very well curated. However the service we received went above and beyond. One of the people due to attend became sick and couldn't go.Of course because it was at the very last minute and the cheese/tea preparation had already been done for him, the ticket was non-refundable. Instead of completely forfeiting the ticket cost, they offered to box up the tea and cheese for him to experience at home! He's absolutely thrilled since he was so disappointed to get sick with such bad timing and yugen didn't need to do that but it was such a thoughtful gesture that really stood out. Always fantastic service.

Everything was amazing about my experience there, except I could hear the staff very well with their masks on. It was a shame not to see those smiles. I'm not hard of hearing but I do communicate by reading people's lips.
