Taka Tea Garden has the exclusive distribution rights of green tea products made by a premium Japanese green tea company called Chikumedio in Australia and New Zealand.
Chikumedio is one of the largest producers of premium quality green tea products in Japan. They have had a strong tradition of growing premium Japanese green tea on the slopes of Mt.Fuji since 1781. Their tea is renowned for its excellent quality, and today has 36 specialty tea branches operating throughout Japan.
Since discovering this little gem of a tea store in The Strand, I haven't bought my tea from anywhere else. It's like wandering into a old school sweet shop, but with a massive selection of Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese and Indian tea varieties replacing the gum drops and cola bottles. The owner, Tony, knows his tea inside and out and is always more than willing to help you pick out the perfect variety of tea for your needs. Add to that the great selection of tea drinking accessories and you can experience the perfect cup of tea.
Heartily recommended for anyone looking to either broaden their horizons and try something apart from English Breakfast (you can try a few different varieties in store before purchasing, just in case a semi-fermented green tea isn't quite what you were expecting) or for anyone simply wanting to get the absolute best quality tea money can buy.
