The house
Skonis ir kvapas, "taste and aroma", is a Lithuanian tea, coffee and tobacco company with its office on Smolensko g. in Vilnius and a team that has been working together for thirty years. It runs about fifty specialised shops in Lithuania and also makes and supplies goods for partners at home and in other European countries. In Vilnius its tea counters sit in thirteen shopping centres, from GO9 at Gedimino g. 9, in the centre, to Akropolis on Ozo g., Panorama, CUP, BIG, Nordika, Vilnius Outlet and several Rimi, Maxima and IKI centres.
The loose-tea wall is organised by type, and almost every tea is sold in four sizes: 50 g, 100 g, 250 g and 1 kg. The blacks run from a large-leaf Ceylon OP grown high in Dimbula and a malty Keemun from Anhui to a smoked Lapsang Souchong, and the house puts its own name on a Darjeeling FTGFOP1 that mixes first and second flush and on an Earl Grey. The greens cover China and Japan, from Gunpowder and a flat-leaf Zhe Jiang Long Jing to sencha, genmaicha and a charcoal-roasted hojicha.
Beyond black and green, the shelves hold oolongs from Tieguanyin to Li Shan, Silver Needle and Pai Mu Tan whites, loose shou pu-erh and pressed cakes, a ceremonial matcha under the house name, several yerba mates, among them a Brazilian one from Paraná, and plain herbs such as hibiscus flowers. Most shops pair tea with a tobacco counter, and the chain sells coffee, teaware and gift sets too. Online orders leave within one or two working days, ship free in Lithuania from €40 and can be collected at any shop.
