I've been here a few times for both casual visits and a high tea. The tea variety is huge with both traditional and unique teas, and the staff know how each one needs to be brewed perfectly. With extensive knowledge and passion for the tea's they are more than happy to answer questions and help you find something you will like.
The service is exceptional with professional but fun staff, the food is delicious (dumplings, cakes, scones, sandwiches), the shop itself is quite small but very relaxing. A great place to take some friends or solo it with a book.
The high tea is certainly worth the price. It was such a pleasant afternoon. Wether a casual tea drinker or a tea obsession, this is certainly a place to visit. I literally cannot fault it any way.
I took my bestie for high tea at the The Tea Project for her birthday. We had a fabulous time and were treated to a delicious array of treats (definitely recommend skipping breakfast.... It would be wrong to leave anything on the plate, it was all incredible!). We attempted to pick our favourite cakes but determined it would be the equivalent of picking a favourite child. The accompanying tea was perfect. There is something super special about the beautiful tea blends which are no doubt a result of the knowledge, respect and love that goes into them. I stocked up on some tea to bring back to Wagga Wagga with me.... Absolutely worth the trip! Thankful for the online shop to keep me stocked between trips north.
Thank you ladies for a fabulous morning! :)
High tea was a fabulous experience at The Tea Collective. The food was delicious, and especially those scones! Delicious juice to start with, Ordered champagne, and so hard to choose which teas to have!
Pretty china added to the experience. Well worth visiting.

Love the fresh dumplings here - small portions but good to accompany your tea!
Highly recommend the lychee and lavender iced teas - so fun!
Pretty space but small so book if you know in advance!
The location is easy to find (parking is limited).
There’s also a tea room with lots of blends for sale including blacks, greens and matcha. Gift boxes available.
This little gem is found ABOVE The Autumn Rooms cafe, head upstairs INSIDE the cafe.
The extensive knowledge from woman behind the tea counter was quite impressive.
I’ve been around the world to try alternate teas ☕️ and found this business to have some decent & organic flavoured teas with a great depth of selections for all customers visiting.
The two tea rooms + balcony were little though enough to sit down and have a high tea ☕️ 🍰 with a friend.

This place is a delightful tea mecca. The ambience is warm and welcoming, staff are knowledgeable and attentive, but the tea and treats are the standouts! There's an impressive range of quality leaf tea, all served in tea pots. We had dumplings and scones and were happy with both.
I went in yesterday at the spur of the moment & bought 4 teas. The young lady there was very helpful in selling me some lovely teas for Christmas. Her male colleague was busy getting the online orders out. Friendly team. thank you!
Still my favourite place in Newcastle, especially with the new location. Simply the best tea from a master craftswoman who is passionate about the art of tea. Delightful service, atmosphere and food. Perfect for special and everyday occasions.
Stunning High Tea! I have been to a lot of high teas around the world and this is the experience I have been after. Cute, intimate, elegant and so much homemade food. We couldn’t finish it at all. The teas were all amazing. We weren’t expecting to have so many choices! Some we preferred more than others but that was the beauty of a tea-gustation.
The venue itself was so simple, beautiful and elegant. The service was unobtrusive and very warm. The music soft. House made scones with rose jam! Heaven.
I really can’t rave about it enough. We did have to pass through a cafe called Autumn Rooms that looked really busy and the food that was coming out smelled and looked fabulous. Not sure if it is the same owners but it all looked quite similar. Hip and happening downstairs and relaxing and classy upstairs? We have planned to come straight back to try it next time we’re in Newcastle for breakfast.

What an absolute delight! These types of tea rooms are as rare as hens teeth. The simple and delicious menu is perfectly paired with their extensive and AMAZING tea menu. The freshest, most creative blends that are served perfectly in bone China. The high tea was exceptional. The beautiful fresh flowers are a treat. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
