Tell Camellia

This intimate bar treats the camellia sinensis plant as its muse, transforming sencha, hojicha and white peony into ‘teatails’ that sip like nothing else in the city. Cocktails including the Teapresso Martini prove the espresso has a rival and the Not Negroni swaps roasted green tea for bitter complexity. The zero-proof menu is treated with the same reverence. The semi-outdoor counter lets you watch Pottinger Street drift by, and the team explains each infusion with the patience of tea masters.

Tatler Tip

On breezy evenings, the semi-outdoor counter is ideal. For the genuinely curious, the teatail masterclasses transform casual sippers into amateur infusionists in a single afternoon.
