Tucked away on via di Santo Spirito, you can forget stepping aside for an espresso doppio at La Via del Tè – here tea reigns supreme. This popular tea shop, besides offering a bewildering array of blends on display for nasal appraisal and brewing away in samovars, also seats 60 across three colonial/expedition-esque styled rooms and an outdoor terrace. Slow things down for a sedentary cuppa, paired to internationally influenced light bites such as scones with clotted cream, Fakia dried-fruit mixes and traditional Tuscan cookies.
