The house
teein began in 2009 in the old town of Schwaz, half an hour down the Inn valley, where Claudia Müller and her partner, whom the shop calls the Captain, opened their first tea, coffee and spice shop. Innsbruck came in 2015, at Maximilianstraße 2a in the city centre, and today the business is two shops and one online store. The site describes the approach as careful selection over mass goods, direct relationships with producers, and personal advice at the counter.
The tea list runs to around 130 references and is broader in origin than the size of the shop suggests: besides Darjeeling and Assam there are blacks from Nepal, Sikkim, Georgia, Rwanda, Vietnam and Kenya, Japanese sencha, bancha, genmaicha and houjicha, a Korean Jeju Sejak, six oolongs and three whites, plus house blends named for the city, the Habsburgs and the Fuggers. Most teas come in a 100 g pack: a Darjeeling Margaret's Hope second flush and an organic Tie Kuan Yin at 11 €, an organic English Breakfast and Gunpowder at 7 €, a Taiwan Dong Ding at 19 €.
The other half of the shop is a spice workshop: some fifty blends of its own in 40 g tins with refill packs, which is why the sign says tea and spices. Orders from the online shop are delivered only to Austrian addresses or collected in Innsbruck or Schwaz. Opening hours change with the season and the two versions on the site do not fully agree, so check the hours page before a special trip; from September to April the published schedule is Monday to Friday, 10 to 18.

The FindMeTea edit
01 · Black tea
A named-garden Darjeeling second flush in the shop's standard 100 g pack: the reference black on this list, and the one to compare the Nepal and Sikkim teas against.
€ 11· 100 g
Explore this tea →02 · Green tea
The one tea here sold in 50 g as well as 100, so a Japanese sencha can be tried at half the commitment of everything else on the shelf.
from € 11· 50 g
Explore this tea →03 · Oolong tea
An organic Tie Kuan Yin at the same price as the Darjeeling: the gentle way into the six oolongs the shop keeps.
€ 11· 100 g
Explore this tea →The one worth the trip
A Taiwanese Dong Ding is the most expensive tea on this list and the reason to make the trip: a rolled, lightly roasted oolong that a spice-and-tea shop in Tyrol has no obligation to stock, and does.
