ANte

Operated out of a private residence in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto Prefecture, tea house ANte is a quiet retreat for exploring a wide range of teas paired with thoughtfully matched sweets. The beverage list offers plenty of variety, featuring standard brews and flavored creations like Nilgiri black tea and iced peach tea, alongside full-bodied Japanese black teas crafted from large-leaf harvests sourced from tea gardens in Keihoku, Kyoto.

The spread includes colorful afternoon tea presentations, baked confections like Dundee cake and truffles, and juicy seasonal peach parfaits, each tailored to complement the aromatic teas. The shop operates on irregular days and runs primarily on a reservation basis, so checking their official social media accounts beforehand is recommended.

Takeout is available alongside dine-in service, and 2 complimentary parking spots are provided on the premises. Payment is cash only, making it best to prepare accordingly before visiting.
