HOME

 

 

Mr Tea was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a place where they can escape today's complicated world and experience great tea done the traditional way!  

Tired of the run of the mill teas found in all the fancy chains ,we traveled all over the world to come up with the best blend of tea leaves .We spent years scouring for original equipment to brew our tea in the time tested traditional way.

Run by generations of  Tea Brewing families, we employ the old fashioned stainless steel urns and steam puffing plumbing that, through a time honored industrial tea producing process, stews and brews the tea in a real teapot for that full fabulous flavor. No polystyrene cups either, you get the complete mug and spoon blow-out, cute sixties decor, and charming service. Coupled with our really low prices, we guarantee a smile on your face!

Folks loved Mr Tea and we found ourselves expanding all over the place from New York to Delhi to Durban .The Mr Tea promise is simple, Great Tea at Great Prices!

The Perfect Cup

Not everyone can make the perfect cup of Tea, which is why all our Brewers undergo a comprehensive training course to ensure they are worthy of the title of Brewer - the official name for our Tea experts.

A)   All our Tea is made using the company's unique blend, Aroma.

B)   Every cup of  tea is prepared from freshly blended tea leaves. These must be soaked to exactly the right consistency to ensure the perfect extraction of the flavors and aroma. Atmospheric changes can alter the perfect consistency, so every few hours the Brewer must check and re-adjust the proportions. If wrong the tea could be too strong or too weak.

C)   Mr Tea stores use specially designed steel urns, produced in collaboration with the traditional masters of tea brewing. These have been perfected over the last 10 years to achieve high volumes of perfect tea making.

D)   It is the Brewer who takes responsibility for all the controllable factors that can influence the perfect cup of Tea. Extensive training is given on the checking and controlling the correct dose, Blend mix, temperature and pressure of water applied to the tea leaves, extraction time and cleanliness and maintenance of the equipment.
