Tante T (otherwise known as THESALON at VIKTORIAGADE): I was really glad my colleagues agreed to come with me!! 5 of us ventured out on-foot, clad in thick winter armoury. We trekked through the blizzard with snow coming down horizontally, and smacking all over our faces. Thesalon’s storefront was a welcoming sight.
On a good spring day perhaps, you could dine outside.
Tante T can be loosely translated as ‘Aunt’s Tea’. Despite being a low-key chill-out tea-salon, this tea-salon is no less ostentatious than its fanciful competitors. It has 2 understated tea-rooms painted pristine white, lined with timeless vintage photographs of Danish royalty. There is also an interesting sewing machine refurnished into a table. A variety of seating arrangements makes the place a perfectly conducive spot for social gatherings!
I love these full shelves decorated with teapots, linen cloths, teacups, bread jams, butters and tea-party knick knacks.
Tante T is best known for having a variety of 150 teas to choose from! The shelves behind the counter are filled with tins of tea leaves. Sniff-sampling is encouraged – you just need to ask!
Their glass display showcases their organic home-made desserts and cakes. Everything was so tempting!
And so we ordered some tea: Rose, Earl Grey Blue Lady, Citrus and a Chai Latte. We also had the chocolate fudge, some cookies and a raspberry marzipan cake. The cakes were less sweet, more chewy, and tougher than the usual eggs and butter mixes. I guess they used more whole-wheat flour and less dairy products. Definitely a healthier dessert option.
From inside looking out: it was -6°C! I love the quaintness of the tea-salon. Whilst we were talking in louder volumes, everyone else gave us weird stares not only because we were the only Asians – it’s a place that isn’t prone to rowdy crowds. Also, the place is a well-kept local hideout with a regular tea-loving crowd. I’d love to try all their teas…but they have 150 types! That means so many trips, I hope I get to travel to Copenhagen that often.
Till the day I’ve tried all 150 teas, perhaps I won’t ever tire of coming back.
