Tea worth sitting down for.

Marrowfen Leaf is a nine-seat tea shop on Fenwick Row. We weigh every leaf at the counter, brew it at the temperature it deserves, and pour it into a cup you're welcome to keep refilling for as long as you like.

Our Story

It began with a suitcase of loose leaf.

In 2017, Ines Marrowfen came home from a year of tea gardens with a suitcase full of unmarked paper packets and no plan for them. She started pouring cups for neighbours on Saturday mornings — a folding table, a kettle, a set of borrowed scales — and the table got longer every week until it became a shop.

We still buy in small lots, direct from growers and co-operatives wherever we can, and we still weigh every serving by hand. Nothing here is pre-blended to hide a mediocre leaf. If a tea is on the shelf, it's because we drank it and couldn't stop.

The Leaf

What's brewing this week

The house list runs year-round. Single-origin lots rotate as they arrive, and the tasting flight changes every fortnight — ask at the counter or check the slate by the door.

Fenwick First Flush

Our house green — spring-picked, bright and faintly grassy, with a clean sweetness that lingers. Steeped at 75°C.

Pot for one£4.20

Marrowfen Breakfast

A robust Assam and Yunnan blend built for milk. Malty, deep amber, and the only blend we'll ever admit to making.

Pot for one£4.00

Smoked Lapsang

Pine-smoked over wood fires in Fujian. Divisive, unforgettable, and best drunk slowly on a wet afternoon.

Pot for one£5.10

Jasmine Silver Needle

White tea scented seven times with fresh jasmine blossom. Delicate, floral, and almost impossibly soft.

Pot for one£5.60

Roasted Oolong

Charcoal-roasted Tieguanyin with notes of toasted grain and stone fruit. The pot that converts people.

Pot for one£4.80

Tasting Flight

Three small pots chosen by whoever's behind the counter, poured in sequence with notes and a biscuit.

Per person£12.00
