Looking for nice teas!

???

Alright,

I'm looking to get my gf a collection of random teas for Christmas. Looking for a mix of herbal, regular, the whole lot. Is there anywhere in Dublin that either sells some sort of hamper or just loads of random teas?

Fallon and Byrne has a wide selection of teas. There is a tea shop on Wicklow St near Tower Records, Le Maison de Tais or something like that. Also there is a new place on South William St that sells teas. Only had a look when walking past so can't say for certain they sell packs, could just sell cups of different tea.

http://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/ on Wicklow st has the best teas i've tried in Dublin.
http://www.houseoftea.ie/ is Rathmines does some good teas as well.
http://www.clementandpekoe.com/ are up on Drury st, i haven't tried them yet so can't comment.
I've heard good things about http://www.facebook.com/WallandKeoghTea in Portabello too.

Cheers guys! Found this http://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/selection-box-of-muslin-tea-bags.html which I think is perfect! Seeing as I'm (gasp) not a tea drinker, this look good?

Pretty sure that's the place on Wicklow St I meant.

Not a tea drinker myself but going to visit a couple of these places for a Christmas present as well, will see how I get on.

Can you tell me exactly where this place is? Is it near the Mater?

sorry for the delay in getting back to you

if ur coming from phisboro , at lights before mountjoy , turn right and follow the road past church
and its just on LHS --

if coming from town get 46a and get off at mountjoy st shops and walk 2-3 mins and follow
road around to the left and its on RHS

its a brill shop and you can actually sit and have tea and coffee in the back of shop like a souk
its colourful and relaxing and as i said prices not bad
