My dream, that is to have a "SUCCESSFUL" tea shop anywhere I will be.
For now, I am thinking of MEXICO. This place is not very much known as Tea country like Japan, England, India, Turkey and Morocco. Mexico is a country known for Coffee. Because of that, it is very hard to find a tea shop. However, I found some tea shops that I would like to just put those in order in this space.
If anyone has your favorite teashops, share with me please. and with the comment why you like it. It will be cool to collect that good part of teashop all around the world!
Teavana
In polanco, first it placed in where its hard to find. BUT i really liked the environment with trees and comfortable sofa, and meditation place(?) not much people were there though and tea was pretty expensive, 100g=200 - 400 peso. BUT they sold tea in a form of loose leaf tea. The names of the tea were very unique! They sold some pot and tea cups.
The coffee beans and tea leaf
In zona rosa, The place was more organized, more people, nice stuffs.
and a box of tea bags was about 150peso. I bought chinese tea, my chinesefriend told me that it actually tastes chinese! very good!
La esquina del te
Teavana is very nice, but i recently found an even nicer and cheaper teashop in Amsterdam street of la condesa!They have variety of kinds as Teavana, but it's way cheaper! Every 100g of tea is 120peso which it was from 150 to 400 in Teavana!
Mikasa
Yes there are a lot of Japanese tea, including loose leaf tea. I felt that Japanese market where lots of japanese comes, knows that we japanese miss our own tea, they have a bunch collection of tea there.
El casbah
I found that there are a lot of lebanese restaurant in Mexico city, and El casbah in amsterdam street offers mint tea with rose water, very Moroccan style with moroccan interior design! it was very nice foreign experience.
hookah (shisha bar)
They offers some nice mint tea and its in Satelite.

It's on Alvaro Obregon in Roma, and is far and away the best tea shop I've found in DF. They offer somewhere around 150 different types of tea. Incredible atmosphere and friendly staff. On a side note, from some graphic designer's standpoint, their 60(ish) page menu is a work of art in itself.
Shakespeare the tea shop
I have heard of that tea shop since I live very close. I was always looking around but I never find where it was. It does not appear in Google map, and the map from their wabsite is not enough.
It locates in very invisible place, and finally found after watching on google map for an hour. It was very nice little tea shop, with very nice tea indeed and panini and english scotch. 30 pesos for tea in a pot. Variety of kind, not only english tea, but most kind of tea. I really liked black tea with rose.
The owner was a very nice English woman.
I got to make a benchmarking from these tea shops!
