2. Tea Break<br />

Situated near the beautiful canal in Dublin’s Portobello area, the “Wall<br />

and Keogh”, an organic tea house, is located in a beautiful old 19<br />

century building.<br />

Upon entering, you are greeted by the heady aroma of over 150 varieties<br />

of organic loose leaf teas from which to choose, all in glass<br />

Jars, so that you can see and smell your tea before picking the one<br />

that appeals the most.<br />

The décor is very funky, comfortable, urban and relaxed, and the inhouse<br />

record player spins records from Billie Holiday to Sebastien<br />

Tellier. The super welcoming staff even encourages customers to<br />

bring their own records to play as well!<br />

There is a garden area furnished with two old beds for the ultimate in<br />

relaxation, and the downstairs feels like a New York apartment from<br />

the late 70s. There is even a guitar for the customers to use.<br />

They offer simple but quality Sandwiches and fresh Sushi plus Muffins<br />

and Cakes to compliment your choice of tea.<br />

One very charming and unusual touch is that this tea-shop offers the<br />

“cup touch”, and we just fell in love with it. What is the “cup-touch”<br />

you might ask? Simply, the “cup” is matched to your tea of choice. Did<br />

you choose a Darjeeling? It will be served in a silver Timbale. Did you<br />

choose a green Japanese tea? It will be served in a raku pot!<br />

Tea from all over the world served in its natural container.<br />

Local manners in a global world!<br />
