Boutique brewing bar in Oundle

Dyna Graham opened her boutique brewing
bar in West Street, in the heart of Oundle, on
1st September. Brewbabu offers a fantastic
selection of loose leaf teas and a great choice
of coffee beans from around the world, freshly
ground to order. In addition, Brewbabu sells
home appeal retail brewing equipment, allowing
you to continue your tea experience away from
the store.

Dyna started her career in retail and managed
a number of large turnover shops prior to
progressing into retail fi nancial, commercial and
customer experience. Dyna has always loved
coffee and became fascinated with tea after
her daughter, Ashleen, sent her samples from
around the world when she travelled on her gap
year before starting university. The teas were
amazing and nothing like any she had tried
before; this was the start of wanting to have
an independent shop with blended loose leaf
teas, great coffee, a food menu that was a bit
different, and the opportunity to work directly with
customers.

The name Brewbabu is made up of brew as
in ‘drink’ and the term ‘babu’ which is used in
South Asia/India as a sign of respect. The
Brewbabu tea rooms have been decorated to a
high standard with quirky style furniture offering
a relaxed, informal atmosphere were you can
come and savour the ambience. There are three
rooms, two at the front and one room at the rear
of the store.

Brewbabu has a varied selection of exclusively
blended loose leaf teas and a range of original
coffee beans, freshly ground to order to drink in
store or take home. If you are bored with tea
bags and the same old tea, you have come to
the right place. The mission at Brewbabu is to
make loose leaf tea exciting and adventurous. If
you are not sure which tea to choose, the staff
will be pleased to advise you and, if it helps,
you can also smell the different teas and make
your decision via your senses. Each pot is
served either for one person or two, each serving
will come on a tray with a timer to allow you to
remove the tea fuser that holds the leaves from
the teapot at the right moment; this allows the
tea to be experienced at the perfect strength
according to the tea master’s recommendations.
Brewbabu sells black, green and white teas
as well as a selection of herbal and refreshing
wellness teas and, at certain times of the year,
there will also be seasonal or guest teas, please
ask at the counter.

Brewbabu also offers delicious, freshly
prepared food for breakfast and lunch
with homemade cakes, scones, a variety of
muffi ns and croissants, throughout the day.
Brewbabu specialises in afternoon teas offering
a delicious selection of homemade sandwiches,
savoury choices and petits fours, served with a
tea of your choice (or coffee), ideal for sharing
with family and friends. Afternoon teas are
served every day, for a minimum of two people -
make sure you are hungry!

If your love is only for coffee then let Dyna and
her team recommend one of the speciality bean
blends. They grind all of their beans in store and
serve the coffees in a French press, cafetière or
via the pour-over method. The coffee will be
brewed to your requirements and taste, and you
can discover fl avours like burnt toffee, hazelnut
and toast! If you just want a drink of traditional
coffee, all latte, cappuccino and macchiato
coffees are made from the house espresso; all
espresso-based coffees are served with double
shots.

Brewbabu is open seven days a week, Mon-
Sat 9am to 6pm, Sunday 10am to 5pm. The
shop can be hired for private parties and is fully
licensed, serving great wines and beers, and will
also be open for themed evenings, so look out
for posters in store or sign up to the newsletter to
keep up to date with events.
