Infinitea!!

Bangalore is a city who loves its coffee and its quite apparent when someone comes to Bangalore and sees hundred's of Coffee Shops!!

But I am a Tea person. Tea is always associated with the North Indians and the Brits ... We southies are not supposed to like tea .. But I cant help it !!

There aren't many tea shops in Bangalore , but then there is a quirky tea shop - Infinitea , which makes up for the poor numbers... Its a lovely place on Cunningham road !! A tea shop with a soul.

It is a little upmarket place and a little more expensive than the coffee houses but it is totally worth it when it comes to the experience.

Once you enter the tea house the first thing that hits you is the atmosphere and the attitude and the warmth. It is a softly lit place with comfy couches , plump pillows .. quirky posters. The posters and the coasters a whole topic by themselves. They are highly creative with 'Tea Quotes' on them. There are funny posters,serious posters , educational posters .. and all about tea. There is one which I particularly like - "Women are like tea bags, they don't know how strong they are, until they are put into hot water" :)

The coasters are so cute with every kind of tea quote on them.

The entire decor is very innovative, but nothing flashy which hinders conversation or takes too much of space. The main idea of the shop is for people to come and relax.

I have seen all kinds of people there, people come there for a date, couple who come there to patch up, people who network [ve seen business deals go through] .. there is something for everyone there, that's what i love about the place!!

The tea , what can i say, every flavor of tea, every kind of tea from all over India and the world... you name it you got it !! They also have food to go with the tea ... amazing food .. mostly a mix of continental ,Mexican and Italian ... And you can choose what food goes with which tea !

This place is very famous for its momos.. Its amazing .. never have eaten momos which taste like them anywhere else !!

The most famous [and my favorite tea] is the 'Kashmiri Khawa' ... its herbal tea , with a blend of almonds , cardamom and pista in the tea cup!! Its yummmmmmmmm!!

Then there is the herbal teas .... every variety of the tea is available !! So basically , hot tea, cold tea , milk tea.. green tea anything its there !!

You get Tea Cakes there [Very Brit] but once you eat them, you are a fan !!

You can buy/gift tea , but its too expensive , at least i don't feel like spending so much on it !!

All in all its a must to visit and experience it, totally worth it !! I must say that it does suit the Bangalore crowd !!
