Tea with a view - spots to sip and savour

August 14, 2016

This week we take you to some of best restaurants around the world for a cup of tea with a view.

Sitting down with a fine cup of tea watching the world go by is perhaps one of the most luxuriously indulgent moments you can create for yourself. It's worth making the view spectacular as well as the tea in your cup.
