The city guide · Lithuania

Tea shops inVilnius.

Vilnius buys most of its loose tea in shopping centres: a Lithuanian tea chain has thirteen tea counters across the city, from GO9 on Gedimino in the centre to Akropolis and Panorama, and a tea and spice shop sells pressed pu-erh cakes in Outlet Park. For a tea house, go to Užupis: a Japanese tea bar-studio run by a tea master trained in Japan and Australia, with teas bought from named Japanese farmers. Expect a Ceylon OP from €1.25 for 50 g and a Long Jing from €9.45 for 50 g at the chain, sheng and shu pu-erh at €12 for a 100 g cake, and at the bar a spring Shizuoka sencha at €19 for 50 g and a wild Taiwanese Dong Ding at €39 for 30 g.
