Companhia Portugueza do Chá

I popped into this tea shop by chance and was pleasantly surprised — what an amazing selection of teas! The variety is incredible, and the staff are very friendly and speak English, always happy to help. A lovely place for tea lovers — highly recommended.

Perfect place for tea lovers! You can find tea from over the world as well as Portuguese tea. They do have signature tea blends that are made in the store, very unique. Hard to make decisions with so many choices lol

If you can imagine a flavor of tea you want, they have it! This shop is such a vibe; an aromatic tea apothecary with the sweetest, most helpful staff ever!!! I would visit it every week if I didn’t live out of the country💜

As a tea lover, I was truly disappointed with this shop. The staff were not welcoming at all, and to my surprise, you are not allowed to taste any tea before buying — only to smell it. This is a tea shop, not a perfume shop. I’ve visited many tea shops worldwide, and almost all of them allow you to try before you buy. When I asked, the staff actually suggested I “go to a restaurant and try some teas, then come back to buy from us.” That makes no sense, as not every restaurant or café serves their tea. Overall, this was the worst tea shop experience I’ve had. Definitely not a place I would recommend for true tea enthusiasts.

Big tea shop with bunch of options to buy a good tea. Nice overall experience with service and products. We have bought matcha bowl and few Chinese teas , and really enjoyed the taste. Will come again to choose more teas

We went here today to buy some matcha and left with more than we expected! It’s a beautiful store with lots of options and very helpful staff. Especially the lovely lady working there who was wearing a swallow earring! Forgot to ask for her name but we really liked chatting with her :)

A wonderful experience.. The teas are really diverse and unique, very rare and specific and behind most of them there is a really interesting story. But I was especially delighted by the warmth, smiling and positive energy of the workers. All the best.

loved the ambience. pleasant, soft music and the shop smells ~wonderful~ with the aroma of all of the unique tea varieties. heaven for tea lovers. people there are very helpful & knowledgeable 🍵 perfect place to treat yourself and/or for a special gift

Simply fabulous. Generous hospitable service, fragrant and peaceful perfectly lighted room, beautiful fixtures, stunningly low prices. Also gave me a little lagniappe. They will have real African tea from Rwanda (beyond the actually-not-tea rooibios which they do also carry). They also have rare, non-herbal Portuguese teas. And teas from India, Nepal, China, Russia, and more. I'm hooked.

based on solo on the service for the review. I gave it 2 and half stars. I love tea and I had been to many tea places (speciality and non specialty). I wanted to give some local teas as a gift. After researching, this place showed up. After walking about 20 minutes up and down steep uphill and downhill from where I was.. I was there finally. I had a high expectations. There was no greeting when I walked in. There are no sample teas at the counter that you can smell. There are in the huge tins and I don't know if I can open and start smelling them. Those tins are behind the package teas. So I don't know if they are ok with customers start opening the teas to smell it. As far as I know there are no sample teas to taste either. I did noticed at least an older man was available when I was at the other side of the store but he didn't seems like I could ask for assistance or wanted to help me pick some teas. I came back to the other side and I asked for help to this woman who seems like maybe available to help if she can recommend anything that is local. Her response was that will be long answer and I got customer. Okkk. There are definitely staffs available. She might have signal another man behind the counter standing near her. He came to see what I wanted.What annoyed me is after he opened the tins for me to smell the teas, I set aside the one that I wanted to buy just based on the smell. As soon as I did that, he started putting back those package teas back again. Don't be paranoid! If the customer take the selective package teas from the counter and set them aside again right next to the counter that means, they wanted to make a purchase. If they don't then you can easily put it back. I am not sure what is his issues was. I got better customer service from the random pharmacy store out in Zurich that happens to have unique blend of teas in the store. After I finally picked out some teas, I lined up behind the customer at the front paying. It seems like there was only one register but there was another register behind some wooden frame and it is hard to tell. The man that helped me didn't say anything to me and after awhile he finally said I was waiting for you. I am not standing behind the customer at the front back staring at it for no reason. If you want to ring my order up, you could have easily tell me. I can't read your mind. The tea prices aren't cheap either. Small package is 5 euro and the mid sizes are about 7.50 depend on the blend. I wanted to ask if they sell coffee but I figured I rather take my money to somewhere that treat customer better. They do know how to speak English but I think you would get treated better if you speak Portuguese.
