A.C. Perchs Thehandel

What a lovely, classic tea-​merchant! The scent in the tiny shop (jampacked with customers) is absolutely gorgeous, the service efficient and knowledgeble. I bought two rooibos teas in a couple of their signature pretty tea tins —
yes your REALLY need to get at least two of them, the design is adorable and they stack well! Comes in various colours and sizes, decent prices and a perfect souvenir and gift to any tea lover I’d say.
and even if the flavours aren’t as full and strong as Löv teas they are really nice (rhubarb and pear/​ginger). I can definitely see myself refilling the tins from the webshop.
It’s obviously a very popular place for both locals and tourists (and rightly so) and I’m looking forward to take an afternoon tea there next time in Copenhagen. If they cater for vegetarians that is.

Perch’s is a long-​standing tea store in Copenhagen. Actually, just this year, they are celebrating their 180^th birthday! Located in the cutest little old house on Kronprinsensgade, you can feel the magic already when you enter the stairwell leading up to the tea room above the store. It smells amazing!
The tea room itself is relatively small, but not tiny. There’s about 8 – 10 tables, maybe, so reservations are recommended, especially on the weekend. We were super lucky and got a small table in a cozy corner, away from the more crowded main room, and right under a window towards the busy little street downstairs. The interior is very tasteful and elegant, in neutral colors and fresh flowers everywhere.
I had seen enough pictures both here and on Instagram to know that I wanted the full-​on tea ceremony, which comes on a three-​tiered cake stand and just looks so pretty! The tea ceremony includes a glass of cémant, if you want, otherwise you can order it «plain» and focus only on the tea.
The whole setting is beautiful, using Royal Copenhagen porcelain either in crisp white, or the classic white and blue pattern. After a short wait, our teas were served in cute teapots, freshly brewed, steaming, and fragrant, followed by the tea ceremony. We got huge, buttery scones, three different kinds of small tea sandwiches, and two different types of petit fours. Along with the scones came some jam, lemon curd, and whipped cream (unfortunately, they were out of clotted cream, which they normally offer).
I really loved all of it, especially the lemon curd — it’s so amazing! I’ll be coming back soon, I’ve already made a reservation for when my mom is visiting next time. I think the price is fair for what you get, as well. And on the way out, you can just stop by the store downstairs and get your favorite tea to take home!

Ah, the fresh aroma of a thousand and one exotic (and not-​so-​exotic) teas drapes around you even when just passing by. Always packed with customers, their selection and quality are as good as it gets.
I was actually not aware of the charming –kinda secret– tea room right above the tea shop, so it was an extremely pleasant surprise to refresh my steaming soul on a hot summer day.
The sweet staff know their stuff: I was all-​too-​happy to roll with their suggestion of the iced tea specialty of the day: white mulberry, unsweetened. It came in a nice glass, all fancied up with summer berries and a lemon slice at the bottom. And complimentary cookies (how nice of them!). In retrospect I should have made a picture, but my thirst got the best of me. A tea so sweet, so exquisite and so refreshing I actually didn’t mind to queue afterwards for a quarter hour at the shop downstairs for 200 grams of the good stuff.

The tea shop is located on the first floor, so go by the side of the buidling through the side entrance.
On Satruday afternoon, I was initially the only man in the place. It was very lady-​like, which was no bad thing for my wife. Almost everyone choose the tea ceremony, which is to say a few crustless sandwiches, a couple of scones, a couple of petit four. There was also an optional glass of bubbly, which was perfectly fine.
The tea itself was reasonable. The taste was good, but very mild by British standards (fair enough, as it is not in Britain).
The room was gently classy, but not mind blowing.
Very highly recommended to treat a lady in a beningn atmosphere.

I went here to get my MIL a birthday present.
It looked super posh on the outside — with them being the royal supplier — so it could discourage you a bit from getting inside, especially if you think you’re not a tea connoiseur.
But I did go inside and got served by a real nice guy who was very friendly and gave me advice and suggestions on which tea to pick and the tea wasn’t as expensive as I thought either.
If you’re a fan of tea and would like to explore your possibilities, this is the place to go. Definitely

On my first visit to Denmark I visited and purchased tea at A C Perchs, and had no idea about the excellent quality of selection of teas available in these far away land. I particularly enjoyed the quince tea, although the jasmin tea blend was quite good. Expect to spend quite a bit of money to purchase tea here, however the quality of their leaves met my high expectations.
