Best EU vendors

[tao.te.kat]

Here in Spain customs are a pain, worse year after year. Bad service, Random taxes. Inspections you should pay (mostly when origin is China)...

So I'm migrating slowly from buying outside UE to inside shops to avoid customs (sadly now UK is also outside) though I prefer to buy in the country of origin...

I still keep some good remote vendors. I like Yuuki, Hatvala, Yunnan S., TeaCrane.

Am I missing something great?

But the main focus now is to know about goog UE sources. By now I'm buying at Siam-tee and Cajovy Dom, I like both.

Could you, please, recommend other vendors?

Thank you in advance.

What type of tea are you looking for? I don't have much experience with UE vendors, but https://www.laoteashop.cz/ was quick, and no problems on the border.

I drink any kind of good tea

From Puerh to green, LIking white, black and wulog. And yellow of course

I haven't had much experience with EU vendors, but the teas from TheTea.pl have been nice. I particularly like their unsmoked lapsang souchong and their other hongcha. They also have a lot of interesting teaware.

Teekontor Kiel in Germany has a bunch of Taiwanese oolongs by Chen Huan Tang, who was a source for the much-missed Tillerman Tea. I haven't had any of their teas, but they look interesting.

I bought tea from https://cajchai.com/ when I was in Barcelona. They have a decent collection. I loved their golden needles.


I order from Thee van Sander, Moychay.nl, Theemas and Hotsoup.nl mainly in the Netherlands. They might ship to Spain too.

@LeoFox told me about these shops. I haven't tried myself. But someone might be able to comment.

@LeoFox mentioned about Mei Leaf too. They do something IOSS https://meileaf.com/about/shipping/. I am not sure about the experience in Spain though.

Anmo has good stuff. Although they are more doing small batch release of more premium teas. So not necessarily daily drinkers. I had a few of their Sunsing Puerh which were all quiet good.

tea.pl is hit and miss what I heard from friends who tried it.

Thanks @Bok

I used to buy from https://www.chado.ee/ too. They got me started on good tea when I was living in Estonia. Shipping might be expensive to Spain.

so many good places, here's a few that come to my mind.
teamountain.cz : i'd buy occasionally from them and usually i'll be very happy with it
laoteashop.cz : for liu bao this is the place to go but they have other teas as well
si-cha.com : some nice yancha
xinanchu.com : i keep hearing praise on their tea
wistariaparis.com : i've mainly tried their puerhs, good stuff
