Aoyama Flower Market Tea House

Unique Tea House concept and atmosphere

Menu and culinary offerings

The Aoyama Flower Market Tea House menu is as varied as the Japanese seasons. It is regularly renewed to adapt to seasonal produce and the flowers of the moment. You'll find comforting dishes like pumpkin spice curry in winter, sakura pancakes in spring, and peach French toast in summer. This seasonal diversity means that regulars never get bored, while discovering new flavors with each visit.

Beverages are also an important part of the Tea House offer. The house offers a wide range of original, fragrant teas, some of which are exclusive creations. The signature blend of organic mint, marjoram, rosemary and lemongrass is particularly popular. Other specialties, such as black tea with rose, jasmine and violet petals, or Earl Grey with blue chrysanthemum, appeal to lovers of floral flavours.

For those with a sweet tooth, the Tea House also offers a selection of pastries and desserts inspired by the floral world. French toast, the star of the menu, is often embellished with edible flowers and seasonal fruit. Other specialties such as rose jelly, floral parfait and flowery cream puffs complete the sweet offer, to the delight of our customers.

Floral events and workshops

Aoyama Flower Market Tea House doesn't just offer a passive floral experience. The establishment regularly organizes events and workshops to introduce customers to floral art. These activities, advertised on the official http://www.afm-teahouse.com/ website , are an opportunity for participants to create their own floral arrangements while sampling the house's specialties.

The workshops on offer include seasonal bouquet creation sessions, floral arrangement classes and themed workshops such as summer wreath-making. These events are often accompanied by special tastings, marrying floral art with culinary art. For example, "Flower Wine Night" events combine bouquet creation with sparkling wine tasting, creating a unique multi-sensory experience.

In addition to creative workshops, the Tea House also organizes seasonal events. The "Special Flower Morning" honors certain emblematic flowers of the season, such as sunflowers in summer, offering customers an immersive experience around a specific flower. These events are an opportunity to discover new culinary and floral creations, reinforcing the link between gastronomy and botany.

The different branches of Aoyama Flower Market Tea House

Aoyama Flower Market Tea House has three branches strategically located around Tokyo. Each branch has its own identity, while retaining the unique spirit of the brand.

The main store, located in the Aoyama district, is considered the flagship of the brand. Recently renamed "GREEN HOUSE", it perfectly embodies the original concept. Open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., it offers the ideal setting for a lunch break or late afternoon snack. Its location in the chic Aoyama district makes it a popular spot for fashionistas seeking refreshment after a shopping spree.

The Kichijoji branch, located in the station's Atre, enjoys a prime location for travelers. Open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., it offers a more relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a break between trains. Its proximity to Inokashira Park also makes it an ideal spot for nature-lovers.

Finally, the Akasaka branch, open from 11am to 11pm, stands out for its late hours. This branch is particularly popular with workers in the business district for its floral afterworks. Its more urban and sophisticated atmosphere makes it a popular evening meeting place.
