Lupicia

I have enjoyed the good Fresh Teas, very much. After drinking the tea, I recovered and become healthy and calm condition.

OVERWHELMED BY TEA! In an effort to not buy at T2 since it joined the Unilever corporation a couple of years back, I’ve been tagging smaller enterprises and doing my best to trial their wares. Lupicia was on my to-​do list in Melbourne for a while anyway, thanks to some rave reviews. Lupicia stores actually exist across the world, which is pretty cool, and each store has a couple of locale-​based blends. I didn’t try the Aussie ones, however, and went straight for one I had on my to-​get list and another two I couldn’t resist.
Each tea comes in a beautiful tin so no need to worry about finding storage for it when you get home. I recommend discussing your favourite tea flavours with the staff, who are all too happy to help with recommendations, despite first appearances coming off as a little gruff. Once they know you care about tea, you’re in.

They might not sell as much accessories compared to T2 but these guys are serious about their teas. They store their tea samples in air tight containers and the staff ensured that the containers are closed tightly after a customer takes a sniff. Did I also mention that they sell a really good selection of high quality tea?

This is the real deal. Finer quality and fresher teas than T2.
I love their teas and really love the shop design. It’s like an old school apothecary. They have an online store but you should go in to browse and smell the tea.
The staff are a little reserved, but certainly open to answer all your questions.
