Camellia Boutique

Camellia Boutique trades from office 128 in block C of the Forus building at Kadaka tee 63, in the Mustamäe business district west of the centre, and its contact page is clear that this is the trading address of a tea-and-coffee shop, open Monday to Friday 12:00 to 18:00 and at weekends by arrangement. The about page says the shop has been at it for more than twenty-five years, that more than a thousand people have joined its tea ceremonies in the last three years, and that it has packed more than eight thousand web orders.

The tea list is the broadest in Tallinn on the Chinese and Japanese side: Yunnan and Fujian reds, Wuyi and Anxi oolongs, light and dark Formosa oolongs, sheng and shou pu-erh by the cake, a Huang Ya yellow tea, and Japanese shincha, gyokuro, hojicha and matcha in several grades. Most loose teas come in 50 and 100 g: an Assam Mokalbari FTGFOP1 at 4,75 €, an organic Darjeeling Monteviot SFTGFOP1 at 8,20 €, a Japan Sencha Fuji at 8,50 € and a 2026 Tie Guan Yin at 15,00 €, all per 50 g, and an organic ceremonial matcha in 30 g at 35,00 €.

Alongside the tea there are gaiwans, cha hai, Japanese matcha bowls and whisks, tins, Venchi chocolate and gift sets, and a business side that supplies cafés and restaurants and writes tea menus for them. Web orders ship free within Estonia from 35 € and to Latvia and Lithuania from 50 €, with delivery across Europe. If you are coming in person, check the weekday hours first: the room is inside an office building, and the shop asks for an appointment outside them.
