Today I visited a relative newcomer to the Edinburgh scene, Eteaket. This delightful, popular and exciting tea boutique can be found at 41 Frederick Street. They serve an extensive range of teas for every mood or discerning palate. Ethically sourced and stocking predominantly loose leaf varieties, this tea room would seem to make, quite justifiably, a roaring trade. I would highly recommend the Lapsang Souchong here, grown on Mount Wuyi in China this stong black tea with pungent overtones of its wood-smoked history is absolutely fantastic. They really seem to care about customer service and satisfaction here and even provide you with a little sand-timer so that you may remove the infuser before the tea is over-brewed. A very enticing little escape from a cold winter's day
