Riga | Food & Drink | Teatime

This cosy little teashop offers dozens of varieties of tea stored in glass mason jars behind the counter in a charming rustic interior.

If you feel a cold coming on, and have an hour to spare, the exotic Chinese tea may help cure you. As will the mellow time immersed among pillows, lanterns, candles and other peace-seeking patrons.
