Tea shops inAmsterdam.

Amsterdam's loose-leaf shops are small and spread across the city: a tea and ceramics shop in a tiny old house in the centre, a single-origin shop in the Czaar Peterbuurt, the Amsterdam tea house of Moychay on Rozengracht and a tea bar in De Baarsjes. Prices below are in euros with VAT included, read on each shop's own site; most sell from 25 g or 50 g, and Moychay also sells much of its list in 7 g samples.
