Aloisia Jardín de Té describes itself as fine organic teas and botanicals, mixed by hand and made to measure. Its showroom is at Euler 152, Interior 305, on the third floor of a building in Polanco, and the site says it has two points of sale in the city. Around the shop runs a school: courses at MX$ 990 on matcha, bubble tea, frappés and smoothies and a latte laboratory, tea experiences, and a business line that sells matcha and boba-tea blends by the quarter kilo to cafés. The blog carries stories, preparation guides and recipes.
