Where to buy Tea

Here I will have an ever increasing list of online places to buy tea and I will indicate if I have bought from them myself.

North America

  • David's Tea, Ontario, CA
  • Vital Leaf Tea, California, USA. I bought at least 6 teas from them,  good quality and a very fun tasting experience at their shops.

Europe

  • TheTeaTee, Lausanne, CH. I've tried a few from here, pricey but good.
  • Langassetee, Bern, CH. Excellent quality and variety - Prices to match. They offer courses at their "tea school".  They also have an excellent tea salon serving all their teas and good nibbles. 
  • Saveurs PimenThe, Lausanne, CH. Known for a selection of quality items (spices, coffees, etc), they have a smaller but interesting selection of teas. 
  • Mariage Freres, Paris, FR.  Trust the french to elevate buying some tea into an experience. Looked like they had a good tea salon too but I didn't get to try it. Opening soon in London.
  • The Tea House, London, UK. In the Covent Garden area of London, this is a great little place, staffed with friendly folks and having a selection of good teas at good prices. The online shop ships worldwide. 
  • Dogan & Acer, Vienna, AT. Long running tea stall in an old market (Nashmarkt) in Vienna, some interesting teas. 
Elsewhere
  • SRI LANKA: Ceylon Gold Tea, Hikkaduwa. (355 Galle Road). Small shop with many, meany teas and a friendly and knowledgeable owner. 
  • MOZAMBIQUE: Big Chinese Supermarket, Maputo. I cant remember the address but its shown by another traveller on his site. Not a very large selection but the quality is great!
