Rare Earl Grey
A clean and exceptionally bright infusion. A malty base with exhilarating citrus notes. It can be enjoyed with or without milk, or a twist of lemon zest
English Breakfast
A more delicate flavour than a modern Breakfast tea it has soft florals balanced by smooth, malty notes
Rare Assam
This whole leaf black tea has a full-bodied biscuity mouth feel that's both distinct and gentle. Notes of gingerbread and late summer honey
Japanese Sencha Green Tea
A rich mouthfeel with bright buttery notes of asparagus
Taiwanese Golden Lily Milk Oolong
Sweet and grassy with soft floral notes leading to a deep verdant finish. Crafted from a rare cultivar renowned for it's succulent, milky texture
Malawi Lemon Verbena
Lemon is the bright top note - beneath lie hints of sage and oregano to give a deeply herbaceous infusion
Indian Rose Petals
A heady scent of rose gives way to a light petal flavour. It is reminiscent of warm summer evenings, making for a calming, joyous experience
Whole Chamomile Flowers
Clean and subtle, these flowers are also wonderfully calming and, of course, caffeine free
English Peppermint
Counter-intuitively, the menthol oils infuse more easily from the dried leaf, giving a brighter, cleaner flavour than fresh mint
Jasmine Silver Tip
A deep and heady aroma with a light and gentle flavour

Fanastic food and service. Our waitress, Natalie, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay after an unexpected change in the menu. Ambience and decor also stunning.

Some confusion around the tea ordered and also the actually filing of one of the savoury sandwich. We were served green tea instead of Rooibos and also normal mint instead of fresh mint tea. Also we were pretty sure it was a crayfish sandwich rather than a lobster sandwich although we when asked we were told otherwise. Still delicious but would have been better if we were given the right descriptions. However, service was good and still a very lovely place to have tea

Very beautiful space and very friendly staff. A shame that the food itself was a bit poor. Thin hard scones!

We weren't impressed by the tea unfortunately. For 4 dry sandwiches and a couple of cakes and very, very slow service, £65 seems very steep. We weren't offered more tea and the scones were very dry. I am struggling to see what we paid for and the usually £10 bottle of prosecco in the shops was £44 a bottle..! It's a lovely place, but we were the only ones in there towards the end and it took around 40 minutes to get the bill as there wasn't anybody there to ask for it!

Fitz has nice ambience, decor and service was friendly. The food was generally good, but a few of the sandwich choices did not suit our palate - carrot and star anise was an odd tasting combination and for the vegetarian menu, one of our party mentioned that the coconut combination sandwich tasted odd as well. However, the scones were lovely and the chocolate mousse cake and passion fruit layered cake were my favourite of the cake selection.

Afternoon tea was outstanding. A journey through chocolate paired with cocktails. The patisserie was truly outstanding - the depth of taste was incredible. The standout piece was a chocolate gateau with black currant ham and a waver thin crispy base. The scones (choc and plain) were probably the best I have ever eaten. I've done a few teas in London and this is the most memorable. The ambience was cosy and intimate and the service very personal. We even got a doggy bag.
