Are you a tea maniac? Then Samovar, a small teahouse slightly hidden in Rijeka’s center, will be your perfect stop to take some rest and revitalize your senses enjoying the scents of numerous teas of various kinds.
It started as a tea brand, becoming very well known among the tea-loving community, and grew into a cozy, lovely teahouse where you always feel welcome, while at the same time travelling to the plantages of China, or carefully listening to the stories of Rijeka the local herbs whisper to you.
You want it? Just name it! Green, white, black tea, mixed with local or exotic fruits and herbs, all combined for a particular purpose (relaxing, revitalizing, detoxing, boosting the immune system...) The team behind the recipes are experts and know exactly what they are doing, and their goal is to spread the tea culture among Croatians and show the pleasures of relaxing with a nice warm cup.
Want to bring an amazing souvenir home? You can pick your favorite mixes from the shelf and buy them. My recommendation - try the green tea with flowers. Its taste takes you to some lands far, far away.
While with time the tea producer changed its name to Boir teas, the experience has stayed the same, as well as the name of the teahouse. Samovar is the place to go!
