Tianshan Tea City

Top choice in Shanghai


Running low on loose-leaf oolong and aged pū'ēr cakes? This three-storey sprawl is hands down the largest collection of tea shops in the city. Taste-test a few to see what you like before you purchase. You probably won’t need to leave the ground level, but you'll find a decent selection of teaware and porcelain on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
