Spring Tea 小椿茶

Walk into Spring Tea and you've stepped away from the Cowley Road hustle—the sort of place where people actually sit with their tea rather than rushing through it. You'll find an impressive selection of Chinese teas, from delicate white varieties to deeply oxidised oolongs, served with the kind of attention that makes you realise how little you've been enjoying your cuppa. The space itself is intimate without feeling cramped, with enough character to make it worth lingering over a second pot. It's become something of a quiet institution among tea enthusiasts and anyone seeking respite from the student-heavy chaos of central Oxford.
