Our Story
Lea's Tea was born from a simple idea: Cardiff deserved a place where tea culture could be celebrated properly. What started as a passion for sourcing exceptional loose-leaf blends quickly grew into something bigger. We opened our doors with the aim of bringing together the best of traditional tea craft and the vibrant world of boba and bubble tea, creating a space where everyone could find something they love.
From the beginning, quality has been at the heart of everything we do. We work directly with trusted suppliers to source our teas, selecting leaves for their character and flavour rather than convenience. Every cup we serve reflects a commitment to getting the details right, from water temperature and steeping time through to the freshness of the tapioca pearls in our boba drinks.
Our cafe in Cardiff has become a gathering place for students, families, and anyone looking for a moment of calm in a busy day. The atmosphere matters to us as much as the menu. We wanted to create somewhere warm and unhurried, a place where you can linger over a pot of tea or discover a new favourite dessert without feeling rushed.
As we have grown, our menu has expanded to include carefully crafted coffees, homemade desserts, and seasonal specials alongside our signature boba and tea selection. But our founding principle remains the same: serve honest, well-made drinks and food to people who appreciate the difference that care and attention can make.
