Lviv is a coffee city with a small, serious tea scene built around Chinese-style tea houses rather than tea merchants. The one that also sells online is TeaRoom on vul. Pisha, where everything is sold from 10 g (oolongs from 15 g) so a first pick Long Jing costs ₴250 for 10 g and a Tie Guan Yin ₴105 for 15 g, and the list runs to yellow tea, aged sheng pu-erh and Hunan hei cha. Tocha in Kastelivka and Novyi Pekin on vul. Hrushevskoho sell leaf by weight at the counter only. The everyday cup is priced at Epicentr K, the hypermarket chain with two Lviv stores: Ahmad English Breakfast at ₴112.80 for 100 g, Dilmah Ceylon at ₴119.50 for 100 g, a Basilur milk oolong at ₴219 for 100 g. Teahouse, the Ukrainian chain, has no Lviv branch but ships from its online shop: a Kenya CTC at ₴250 for 250 g, GABA oolong from ₴450 for 50 g.

Currency, grams & tea bags
Each price keeps its original pack size. A box of bags and a pouch of loose leaf aren’t a like-for-like comparison.
