This place is a paradise for tea lovers in Tbilisi, overlooking Republic Square, on the corner of Kiacheli and Akhvlediani (Perovskaya) streets. The tea is from just one brand, the German company Althaus, but it has been harvested from all over the world. The heady aroma of different teas welcomes you as soon as you enter the building: an old, high-ceilinged apartment with one room that is non-smoking, and a veranda with a view over the square. There are around 80 types of tea on the menu and each can be sampled to help you decide which brew is best for you. The staff are friendly and always helpful. Summer-time specialities are ice-teas, which are also offered with added alcohol to make wonderful tea-cocktails. Don’t leave without trying the 'Orbeliani’s Candies', a secret family recipe for a magical combination of walnuts with caramel. Also at Laghidze St. 2
