Anyone in Friedrichshain looking for serious tea will sooner or later end up at Bohea Teehandlung on Niederbarnimstraße. This specialty tea shop stands for rarities from Asia, uncompromising quality, and unparalleled advice.
Bohea Teehandlung: Where Tea Culture is Not a Compromise
Anyone seriously interested in tea can hardly avoid Bohea Teehandlung in Friedrichshain. This specialty tea shop focuses on Japanese green teas, Chinese Pu-Erh, and rarities from all over the world. The assortment is as broad as it is precisely curated: every type of tea is offered, whether green or black, Oolong or Rooibos, tart, fruity, spicy, fresh, earthy, or sweet. In addition, there are Matcha and flavored herbal teas, some of which cannot be found online but can be ordered via email.
What also distinguishes Bohea from other tea shops: Owner Oliver Meier is a true tea connoisseur. If he doesn’t like a particular variety in a given year, he simply doesn’t stock it. Quality takes precedence over completeness here. Furthermore, a freshly prepared tea might be offered as a decision-making aid – so you never buy a pig in a poke.
Advice You Won’t Soon Forget
Anyone entering the shop indecisively rarely leaves without a clear recommendation. The advice is excellent: you simply state what kind of tea you’re in the mood for, and you immediately get a few varieties recommended from the vast selection. The in-house black tea blend is particularly popular among regular customers. In addition, the specialty tea shop offers tea accessories, ceramics, delicacies, and exclusive tea gifts. If you don’t live in Friedrichshain, you can also order online or visit the shop directly. It is open Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM. With an overall rating of 5.0 from 17 reviews, the results speak for themselves.
