Tea shops inInnsbruck.

Innsbruck's tea fits in a ten-minute walk through the centre. A specialist shop with more than 400 teas has traded on Kiebachgasse in the Altstadt since 1999 and pours in its own garden; a Tyrolean tea-and-spice house born in Schwaz keeps its second counter on Maximilianstraße; and at the entrance to the old town, a franchise store of the organic Sonnentor brand covers the everyday shelf of loose teas and herbs. All three also sell online, and most loose tea is sold by the 50 or 100 g.
