The tradition of tea drinking dates back thousands of years. The establishments serving this beverage have long since been established as spaces of congregation, entertainment (geishas would entertain in tea houses in Japan), and light snack taking (in the UK, small cakes and sandwiches).
Despair not, as ShBarcelona does not want you to miss out on the opportunity to take part in the long-standing tradition of the tea house. Barcelona has a lot to offer in this department, so we have lined up the top picks in the Les Corts area. Whether you want to go there to quickly hydrate, relax, or to catch up with friends, the selection below should tick all and any of those boxes. Grab your brew and relax.
