First thing, the address on steepster is wrong. This is not on central downtown area, but further afield, Avenida de Paris, 17-A (near Praça de Londres and Avenida de Roma). But steepster database can not seem to accept the correct address so I can´t correct it.

I think this is the best tea shop and tea room in Lisbon – and I have certainly been testing both these categories. It has got the widest range of teas, and acessories, for sale I have yet found, with some very interesting things indeed, and they serve practically everything by the cup or teapot, for a reasonable price. It is not too big, the shop is not too large, the decor is simple but modern, but they have lots of delicious tea, and it is a very nice place with nice staff to take a cup or be tempted by their tea selection.

Very beautiful, somewhat precious decor on a gorgeous location, with a big selection of cakes and pastries. But there is not a lot of tea to select and they bring you a cup of hot water with a sealed teabag on the side. And then charge you 5 euros for it.

Very nice decor, proper tea served.

Profile

Bio

Inconstant tea drinker – I mostly drink tea when not too hot. I hang around steepster much more frequently in (northern hemisphere) cold season.

- Teas -

I like all sorts of tea, flavoured and unflavoured though I am picky. I always willing to try anything new. I am now particularly interested in single origins.

I am one of those people who actually loves Lapsang Souchong. I am not crazy about Earl Grey, in general. I don´t quite get Darjeeling teas, but I am trying to make sure …

I like rooibos, though not all bases. I loathe hibiscus. I do not like fennel/liquorice/anise in blends or teas with chicory. I am picky about what I consider true cinnamon.

As you can probably tell from my cupboard, the brands I find more interesting right now are Mariage Fréres,Thé-o-Dor and Yumchaa.
