“The Way of Tea is naught but this:first you boil water, then you make the tea and drink it.”

Sen no Rikyu−

Preparing good quality tea is an Art. La Via del tè uses only mineral water with low dry residue; the water temperature and the time of infusion vary according to the type of tea. Every tea is prepared with care and tasted before serving. To avoid over-steeping, the leaves are removed so that the flavour and aroma of the tea remain consistent.

The staff will be glad to assist and advise you in the choice of tea.

TEA TIMETea takes part in daily life of people all over the world. According to different customs tea is drunk plain, with milk, mixed with spices, butter, mint leaves and the tea equipage varies as well. Although an everyday beverage, tea drinking easily develops into a rite, a ceremony, a journey of the senses, an homage to unique traditions.
