Perch's is a long-standing tea store in Copenhagen. Actually, just this year, they are celebrating their 180th birthday! Located in the cutest little old house on Kronprinsensgade, you can feel the magic already when you enter the stairwell leading up to the tea room above the store. It smells amazing!
The tea room itself is relatively small, but not tiny. There's about 8-10 tables, maybe, so reservations are recommended, especially on the weekend. We were super lucky and got a small table in a cozy corner, away from the more crowded main room, and right under a window towards the busy little street downstairs. The interior is very tasteful and elegant, in neutral colors and fresh flowers everywhere.
I had seen enough pictures both here and on Instagram to know that I wanted the full-on tea ceremony, which comes on a three-tiered cake stand and just looks so pretty! The tea ceremony includes a glass of cémant, if you want, otherwise you can order it "plain" and focus only on the tea.
The whole setting is beautiful, using Royal Copenhagen porcelain either in crisp white, or the classic white and blue pattern. After a short wait, our teas were served in cute teapots, freshly brewed, steaming, and fragrant, followed by the tea ceremony. We got huge, buttery scones, three different kinds of small tea sandwiches, and two different types of petit fours. Along with the scones came some jam, lemon curd, and whipped cream (unfortunately, they were out of clotted cream, which they normally offer).
I really loved all of it, especially the lemon curd - it's so amazing! I'll be coming back soon, I've already made a reservation for when my mom is visiting next time. I think the price is fair for what you get, as well. And on the way out, you can just stop by the store downstairs and get your favorite tea to take home!
