Our favorite tea shops in Auckland
4 places we'd send a friend to, with prices we checked ourselves.
Auckland's tea is sold by merchants rather than boutiques, and three of them have been at it since the nineties: a North Shore blender with more than 150 teas and a concept store in Rosedale, a Mt Eden shop that has weighed tea since 1995 and now pairs it with romance novels, and a café chain that has supplied the city's tea rooms since 2000 and sells single-estate leaf from 50 g in four suburbs. The newest is a Chinese tea studio in Mount Roskill, visited by booking. Everything ships within New Zealand.
