Our favorite tea shops in Bengaluru
2 places we'd send a friend to, with prices we checked ourselves.
Bengaluru drinks more coffee than tea by tradition, and its tea scene is mostly chai cafes and counters inside supermarkets. Two real tea shops with their own doors are worth the trip: Sancha, the Delhi boutique chain that has three Bengaluru stores — on Lavelle Road downtown and in the Phoenix malls in Hebbal and on Whitefield Road — where every visit starts with a free tasting in china cups; and Infinitea, a tea room founded in the city in 2003 on Cunningham Road, with a second outlet in Indiranagar and a Darjeeling garden of its own in the Mirik valley. Between them the shelves run from a 150 ₹ Earl Grey to a 3.000 ₹ gyokuro, all in 50 g or 100 g packs. Teabox, which ships from Siliguri, covers the estate-specific Darjeeling and Nilgiri leaf nobody in town stocks.
