MLESNA HELLAS – TO TSAI

Kostas Papatheodorou

We are a family business, based in Athens, Greece. For over 30 years, tea has been more than our profession, it’s been our passion.

We have dedicated our career to elevating the tea experience. Through our teashop in the center of Athens and our online shop, tea.gr, we have introduced Greece to an unparalleled variety of over 500 teas, from iconic Ceylon brews to matcha, rooibos, and unique herbal blends.

What makes us proud is helping shape the Greek tea market. Back when coffee reigned supreme, we worked hard to create a space for tea lovers - offering premium options, educating customers, and partnering with businesses to make tea a staple in Greek homes, cafes, and restaurants.

Today, tea has a strong presence here, and it’s amazing to have played a part in that journey.

We are always on the hunt for exciting flavors, rare varieties, and innovative tea trends to bring to Greece and beyond. Whether it’s crafting custom blends for hotels or just chatting with customers about their favorite brew, our goal is simple: to make every cup of tea an experience to remember.

ESTA is giving us the opportunity to unite with similar professionals, exchange ideas and learn even more about tea. We are honored to be part of this association.
