One of my favourite shops. Lots of unflavoured teas from china and japan, which are my favorite. They also have smaller packages (25g) that are not so expensive if you want to try some teas.

This is a rather small shop located in the shopping district of Kluuvi in the center of Helsinki.

Very friendly service, nice collection of teas plus they have glass jars with samples in them so one can take a sniff of the provided teas on their own! They serve the flavoured ones in the shop area and the unflavoured ones can be asked behind the counter. Good variety on both of them, and a big bonus for the salesperson to be ready to recommend when asked. Believe me, that’s a lot when living in the land of mutists. And they serve the tea of the day there, so one can get a free tasting as well on the spot.

Sadly the space is a little too small for when it gets crowded it’s hardly possible to squeeze through without being paranoid over dropping things.

All in all a neat little place.
