Why Tea Lovers Choose Us

Best Tea Shop in IndiaWith their choicest collection of tea, this place is my first preference to relish the best blends available. It’s a tea lovers paradise. Unexpectedly in Darya Ganj this place was a relief from the chaos.If you are in the area do not miss this. I would suggest to pick their Darjeeling Tea and Rose tea blend. I love them both and I love to have at least a cup of either of them daily. Hope you enjoy your visit.Manish G (Reviewed on Tripadvisor)

Well worth a stop! Excellent teas and service! We were able to try any teas we wanted for free before making our purchases (at very reasonable prices). The staff was very helpful in suggesting teas based on the flavors we liked and we bought some very nice gifts for back home.

Best cup of tea you’ll ever have.Welcoming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable people who will bring you different teas, brewed to perfection, until you can take no more! A great way to end an afternoon tramping round the streets of Old Delhi - quite the oasis of calm by contrast. The only improvement would be the addition of some simple biscuits to eat between trying different teas.

A calming oasisWe had wandered through the old Delhi bazaars for quite some time enjoying the sights and colours when we emerged from a side street directly opposite this tea house. I had read about it in a travel guide and had wanted to go there to try the teas and buy some gifts for home. It was pure luck that we actually found it. We walked in and immediately it was luxurious and calming. The young lady was very attentive, showing us many different teas and explaining their origins. We said yes to tasting some of the teas, but didn't realise it would be full cups of selected teas. They were presented beautifully and we were guided in the order of tea tasting.

THE TEA SNOBm a tea snob and I hate how expensive chai is in restaurants and coffee shops, knowing it costs mere pennies to make. I decided I needed my own gourmet tea., "Ohmigod, it's SO GOOD..." My colleagues are starting to be concerned about my mental health.

A treat in Old DelhiOasis in the middle of Old Delhi; great place to discover the best teas of India. Not cheap, but this is the place to taste and buy the best from Darjeeling, Nilgiri and Kangra Valley, including white tea of high quality. Here you can taste (and see) the difference between first flush, second flush and autumn picked Darjeeling tea under ideal circumstances.

TEA-TOPIAIt can get a bit small if too many visitors are there at once, but they will take very good care of you. The sales people are very knowledgeable and will let you try as many teas as you like. The best part of the trip for me though was the Tea Maker. Not only did he make the most lovely cups of tea, but he also shared how he made it so I could make it perfectly too. My jasmine has always come out bitter. Too many leaves left too long in the water. Thank you, sir, thank you. I bought a couple teas and some lovely accoutrements. I'll be back in my next visit to discover more teas.

Great experience!The Aap Ki Pasand Tea Shop is a heaven of peace and quiet in the busy city of Delhi. Not only are the teas great, the welcome is warm, inviting and not pushy! Being able to taste any tea you like helps you pick, and so does the helpful advice of the shop assistant... Sadly Delhi is far, but I'll definitely repurchase the teas online!
