Paper & Tea is a tea shop which is located in Berlin, in Mitte zone, and it’s easy to go by metro stop Rosa-Luxembrug-Platz.
In that day while I was going to Mamecha I noticed their suggestive shop window, and when I came back to the metro I’ve also had a look at the shop.
This tea shop has a modern and minimal style, teas and teaware are well ordered; the clerks/owners were very kind, helpful, very expert about tea.
They have loose leaf tea (green, white, black, oolong), blended tea, herbal with stilish packaging.
They sell also beautiful asian teaware: yixing teapots, gaiwan, cups, utensils, matcha accesories as chawan and bowl.

The clercks/owners also offered “Sencha Sakura Garden” tea for tasting to customers in little cups. It was a very good Sencha, it tasted so much delicate.
I’ve guilt feelings after a year yet for not have bought this tea while I was there. :(

Their teas and teaware are very good quality, with medium-high prices.

I wish to come back here one day and for tea lovers I suggest to visit this shop anywhere who comes to visit or live in/near Berlin. :)

Mamecha is a cute and little tea and coffee house; I was here last year while I was visiting the city. Principally they serve drinks and desserts, but that seemes they serve also lunch. You can find coffee, cappuccino, coffee/cappuccino soy, japanese teas, biscuits, cakes. I sincerely don’t remember exactly which japanese teas they have but I can mentioning Hojicha, Sencha, Genmaicha…and Fukamushi-cha! It was the first time I heared about Fukamushi-cha and I tried it: it was first love! They served the tea in a little kyusu teapot with a little japanese cup and a paper with instruction about the infusion (but only in japanese and german language). I couldn’t understand what I should do so I just leaved the tea in infusion for few minutes and drinked it. This tea was great: it’s like the taste of Sencha, but moooore sweet. Certainly a great quality of tea. I enjoiend drinking and discovery Fukamushi-cha. There was also some tea which they served and teaware on sale.

Hi everyone!
I’m a begginer, I’m still exploring this vast world of tea by reading books, tea blogs, reviews and discussions on Steepster, and of course by drinking as much new types of tea as possible.

I love green teas from China (except teas like Gunpowder, Chun Mee..), and Japan.
In my cupboard there must be always present some Sencha and any chinese green tea which has apricot or vegetable notes.
I’m very curious to try teas from South Korea, but for now I had the pleasure to try only Woojeon green tea.

I also like roasted oolong, red tea, yellow tea, white tea which only recently I restarted to drink it (I had a bad experience in the past with a very bad quality of Pai Mu Tan).
But, ehi, also some light oxidaized oolong are not bad, I’m starting to like them too! XD

I’m new on Pu-erh and Hei-cha teas from april 2016 and I already love them; surely I need more experience and more tastings but it’s sure that I’ll never leave them anymore.

What about (white, green, black…) teas from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc? For now I’m not focusing my personal growth on teas with them. I’m not a big lover of indian black teas, but I’m slowly starting to appreciate them too.

I hardly drink flavored teas, herbal/tisanes, while I completely dislike Jasmine Green Tea and Earl Grey.

Sorry for any grammar or lexical mistakes.. """"( ._.)

The most WOW teas in 2016 which made me thrilled:
- “White Down Silver Needle – Zheng He” from Grand Tea
- “Liu Bao” from Grand Tea
- “Fou Shou Shan AAAA Spring 2016” from Teaway
- “Raw Pu-erh Simao 1999” from Grand Tea
- “2016 Spring Mengsong Raw Puer” from White2Tea
