Discover Tea Shops, Tea Rooms and Tea Suppliers in the Directory

There’s nothing more British than a cup of tea. Jane Austen wrote a quote beloved by many a Brit: “But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea”.

But it’s not just the UK that loves its tea. While it may have made tea rooms a constant feature, tea has been popular all over the world for centuries. Keep reading to discover some delightful tea rooms and retailers, and how to find tea suppliers near you.
