Our favorite tea shops in Zurich
2 places we'd send a friend to.
Zürich's specialist tea shops are tucked into the lanes of the Altstadt. One is a loose-leaf counter in the Niederdorf with everyday blacks, greens, herbs and rooibos by the 50 or 100 g; the other, a few streets away on Spiegelgasse, is devoted to Chinese and Taiwanese teas sold mostly by the 50 g, with the teaware to brew them. Both also sell online.
