Most of us in the tea-loving community have that one tea shop they love to go to. Maybe they make the best cup of tea in town. Maybe they have the best selection of loose teas in the city. Maybe the people are just great! Some of us are lucky enough that we have many places to choose from.
But what about you? What is your go-to tea spot?
Part of what we do at T Ching is spreading the love and knowledge of tea to the world. But it is also important that we also spread the love and visibility of our local tea businesses. Without them, it would be that much harder to share the tea love!
Is there a tea shop by you that deserves some extra visibility? Have you had a stellar experience at a store you visited while on a trip? Are you a small tea business that would like to share your story? Tell us! Send your stories to [email protected] or post them on our Facebook page, and we will share some of them on our site!
Hello i’m Pier Paolo , ii’m a tea enthusiast .
I have two favorite tea shops ; one is Milan and the other one in Paris.
The tea shop in Milan is the Teiera Eclettica , the owners of the shop are very gentle and kind . They love tea and love their job. You can find very good quality leaves from China and Japan and often they organize tea tastings and lessons. There is also a nice and cosy place where you can drink your tea in different styles ( european , gong fu cha , japanese )
Barbara ( the owner of the shop) is like the Chocolat main Character , she can always reccomend the correct tea for each situation .
La Teiera Eclettica is the place to be if you are a Tea Head.
The tea shop in Paris is named T’cha. It’s located near le Pont Neuf in the sixth arrondissment , the tea shop doesn’t have a facebook or Instagram page , and this makes the shop a little “retro” . Here you can also drink tea and eat. The shop is owned by two Chinese ladies , at first they seem a little surly but they are very kind . They have only Chinese teas and they serve them the Chinese way , with little clay teapots .
