A hidden gem tea shop and cafe in Chatswood Interchange

Chatswood is a busy suburb in the North Shore region of Sydney. If you wanted to escape from the commercial activity and bustling satellite city life, there’s a hidden gem in the building complex that houses Chatswood train station. On the side of Chatswood Interchange opposite the Australia Post shop, Tea Journal welcomes you into its quiet haven.

Premium ingredients are used to make Chiffon cakes with flavours including Black Sesame, Matcha, and Black Tea Rose & Pistachio.

Tea Journal has a unique shop concept that blends together the conversation environment of a cafe with the feeling of being in a specialty tea gallery. Artisan tea ingredients, including Dragon Pearls, Ginseng Oolong and Raw Pu’er have been brought in from the majestic mountains of Yunnan, China. If you’re browsing and trying to find a flavour that’s suited to your palate, there is helpful information on the range of teas available.
