Rare teas direct from small farms, plus Saturday tasting sessions
"A café offering a unique selection of teas and a warm, cosy atmosphere." - Andrew Young
"In Mayfair, it's my go-to for trusted, well-sourced tea from individual farmers; I get my matcha powder there, the stories behind the tea are amazing, and the packaging is beautiful." - Iris Law
"Stepping into Postcard is like stepping into an airlock of sorts; it’s easy to lose track of hours here, in what is surely the most relaxing and welcoming escape from the madness of Oxford Street. Since 2005, Postcard has been committed to championing “small tea”; all are sourced directly from plantations smaller than 15 acres (and frequently smaller than 5) across Asia, and the team are always eager to put the growers at the centre of the picture. A singly disarming location, with an incredibly passionate team selling (and leading tastings of) some of the most elegant teas available." - James Hansen
"Tim D'Offay is a true obsessive who has met many of the tea growers he carries, and the shop is where we stockpile incredible teas; the special Fiori e Sapori (made for Loewe) is unforgettable — a leather-scented Assam flavored with bergamot, lemon verbena, rosebuds and chamomile that leaves gorgeous rehydrated roses floating in the pot — and other staples like London Lapsang, Nokcha and Gianfranco’s Earl Grey never disappoint." - Paula Aceves, Sarah Kilcoyne
"A specialist tea shop where he picks up green teas for his collection; a source for the delicate Korean and Japanese greens he brews with ceremony at home." - Paula Aceves
