  • The tea store and the tea room at The Glasshouse. Pleasant relaxed ambience, friendly service, hundreds of teas to select from – an awesome place to visit for a lunch or a Devonshire Tea. I counted 121 boxes with teas at the background shelf, but there is definitely more as it continues to the left. So far, I tried about half of them and I will be happy to go for a second round after I am done.

    Established in 1993 in Paddington suburb of Sydney The Tea Centre now consists of 7 retail shops around Australia and supplies tea to more than 500 restaurants and cafes. Annual turnover is about 25 tones of tea and with 180 different varieties each of them is said to be of a great quality with no artificial flavors or preservatives.
