THE BAYLEAF TEA ROOM
Housed in a restored historic Nutmeg Processing Station and inspired by an enduring Caribbean herbal tea culture, the bayleaf tea room offers you authentic tea experiences and natural healing inspiration.
We have partnered with the talented chef Belinda Bishop of Flavours of Grenada to create a one of a kind, custom menu full of Caribbean flavours and inspiration, served with unique tea blends from the Caribbean and around the world.
OUR STORY
For years after Hurricane Ivan destroyed much of the nutmeg trade, most of Grenada’s iconic Nutmeg Processing Stations laid abandoned. These nutmeg stations had provided a sustainable source of income and incredible pride for families and communities for generations.
In 2019 we acquired the lease for the first floor of the Vincennes Nutmeg Station and transformed it into our herbal tea production facility - and from the start, our vision was to develop a tea room to share authentic tea experiences in Grenada. Restoring the Nutmeg Facility was very important to us, as it allows us to honor and preserve the economic legacy of the building and the community.
Welcome to the bayleaf tea room, Grenada’s first authentic tea room, offering you incredible tea experiences alongside local creativity in the tranquility of the countryside.
The bayleaf tea room is your happy place to relax, celebrate, savour unique teas and delights, and create beautiful memories with your special ones.
