Hi everybody,
I have had a bad experience with customs in Poland while buying tea in Japan - I had to pay a huge tax for buying outside EU.
Do you recomend any good dealer of Japanese tea within EU?
Thanks for help.

Re: Looking for Japanese tea vendors/dealer in European Union
Here are some ideas for Japanese teas sold outside of Japan. Not sure which country you are in, as I couldn't find an introduction from when you joined.

Hi Sugataichi,
I can relate to your plight. Here in Spain we have a similar problems when buying teas from shops outside EU. It is not so much the import tax or VAT but the customs agent surcharges and paperwork that are a problem.
One vote for Postcard Teas.
Find enclosed some links to tea shops in Spain with which I have good experiences and may be of help:

- The Matcha House Europe https://thematchahouse.com/. A subsidiary of a Japanese tea company (Aoi Seicha).
- Tetere https://tetere.com/comprar-te/ . A teashop in Barcelona
- Caj Chai https://cajchai.com/en/. Another teashop in Barcelona

Pity you have tax problems. In czech we have no tax on tea. I ordered many times from yunomi.life especially their surprise teas are super fun and great valuesugataishi wrote: Thank you, I will start browsing those shops soon 'cause I am running out of tea.
