Read moreTasse De The after its first outlet in Fort has recently come up with its second one at Bandra Reclamation. Opposite to Salt Water Cafe, this premium tea house looks looks beautiful. Interiors are amazing, very well lit. TDT have displayed their premium teas on one side which one can purchase. On the other side you see an exclusive collection of teapots, mugs, etc.
It's a self service tea place divided in 2 levels for seating! They serve more than 200 different types of tea so you name it and they have it! You will be in awe to see their collection of black tea, green tea, matcha, oolong, flower, Jasmine, herbal, lattes, Frappes and Iced Teas! A paradise for tea lover! They also have small bites besides some desserts which one can try with the preferred option of tea!
I reached there late evening, so wasn't in the zone to try all their hot preparations, so kept it to the basic! Talking about what all I tried at Tasse De The -
We started with Frappes. I am always fascinated with Tea Frappes since I have had enough Coffee Frappes. So I make it a point that I definitely try it. Was excited to see Matcha and Mint and wanted to try that! And I was taken aback! Mind-blowing, I loved it! Matcha with mint, pistachio and topped with whipped cream! Divine and must try! I also tried the Choco Mint Frappe again nice but my clear favourite would be the former!
Next from the Iced Tea section, I tried the Blue Refill - mix of blue pearl flower and peach! Refreshing for sure!
Amongst the small bites options, first tried Chilli Cheese Toast - twist here was that the bread base was a French styled Charcoal baguette topped with Chilli, Parsley and cheese! A must try I must say!
Next tried the Bun Maska - Super Soft Irani Buns served warm with Butter, Whipped Cream & Pistachio again! Oh my, it will be unfair if you don't try this at TDT. One of the best and something which can't be missed!
Also tried their Pesto Panini Sandwich, which is served warm. Filled with Pesto, Cheese and Tomatoes, this one definitely doesn't feature in light bites, since it is quite filling. Currently served in regular bread, they are soon planning to introduce more options! Decent option to try!
Finally moving to some desserts - we tried the Spinach Feta Muffin, Coconut Mango Passion and Blue Lavender Cake! My personal favourite was Blue Lavender Cake followed by Coconut Mango Passion. Lavender Cake is an attractive looking almond sponge cake with mellow white chocolate, Lavender mousse jelly on top with blueberry glaze! Awesome! Spinach Feta Muffin was an interesting combination and wanted to try but personally I felt was average.
Coconut Mango Passion has the same base as that of Lavender Cake, but with Mango Jelly, Coconut Mousse and Passionfruit glaze! Loved the combination, again should be tried!
I ended my meal with an Indian Masala Chai with Pistachio Cookie! For me, the best way to end a meal! Tea with masala (strong mind you) with milk. I liked it. Cookie was soft but was average in taste.
Had heard good things about this place from my friends before and experiencing is believing! Definitely worth a visit and would definitely recommend trying things as mentioned above...
