Read moreI have found TEEMAA to be an oasis of tea culture.
Not only is it the only tea shop/tearoom in Helsinki that prepares teas according to what type of tea you're drinking and with the proper teaware to serve you with the best quality teas each time--with multiple infusions, but its atmosphere is dream-like and gives you a comfortable space in which you can relax and let go of your day-to-day problems.

I also bought some matcha powder and she did the best recommendation for me as a beginner even though it was past their closing time. I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely visit again if...
