Phnom Penh has no dedicated loose-leaf tea shop with an online catalogue at the time of writing; its tea lives on the shelves of Kampot pepper houses, craft boutiques and a coffee importer, all priced in US dollars. KHLA on Street 478 packs its own organic line of black, green, oolong and matcha in 10-bag boxes from US$ 1.70, with matcha at US$ 6.10 for 80 g; Senteurs d'Angkor on Street 178 sells Cambodian black tea scented with jasmine, lotus or lemongrass at US$ 5 for 50 g; and Boncafé's showroom at Olympia City keeps Bontea Ceylon and Brodies tea bags at US$ 4.50 to 6.36 a box. For TWG's loose teas, the boutiques at Vattanac Capital Mall and Aeon Mall Mean Chey sell at the counter.

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.
Check the right location
Hours and visiting conditions can differ between branches. Use the address and details for the location you plan to visit.
Pickup and appointments
Some sellers operate pickup offices or showrooms. Read the shop note and check its visiting conditions before setting out.
A guide with a point of view
Tea specialists lead the discovery. Other retailers keep their own category, for familiar blends and everyday essentials.
