Opened for approximately a week, Steeped Tea Bar serves a selection of creative tea mixes brewed with the same degree of passion as coffee aficionados would expect.

They have a fairly simple menu of less than 10 drink mixes, and some tiramisu slices on display. Most, if not all the teas, feature fruits. I went with the Pear High Mountajn Oolong, which was one of the two items that the barista recommended. It was a light, fragrant tea with a touch of sweetness from real pear. I thoroughly enjoyed this, it wasn’t too strong or thick, making it perfect for evening refreshment. I visited on Friday night at 7.30pm, and there wasn’t anyone else around although the other nearby eateries were brimming with customers. However, that’s probably going to change with time as they’re new to the scene.

The ambience of the place is lovely, and chill. This would be a beautiful place to spend the day reading. The baristas are welcoming and friendly, but perhaps they could expand on the light bites and confectionary spread so that people would have more of a reason to drop by especially since there’s seating provided.
