Tea shops inLisbon.

Lisbon has a small, central loose-leaf scene: a tea shop in an old shoemaker's shop on Rua do Poço dos Negros that makes its own blends, the Chiado and Colombo branches of the Tea Shop chain, and an Azorean grocery in the Baixa that sells the teas grown on São Miguel. Prices below are in euros with VAT included, read on each shop's own site; most packs are 50 g or 100 g.
