Areiltza Doktorearen Zumarkalea0.4 mi from Bilbao centrelast reviewed September 2026

A tea specialist in Abando where the coffee list is more than an afterthought, naming origin countries rather than a single house blend. Handy if your table is split between tea and coffee drinkers.

A Bilbao tea shop whose coffee list actually names Colombia and Nicaragua.

What we love

  • •Named coffee origins on offer, including Colombia, Hawaii, Kashmir and Nicaragua, alongside the wider tea range.
  • •Beans sold to take home as well as poured to drink in.
  • •A tea specialist first, with coffee running as a secondary programme rather than the main draw.
