Tea specialist of great size
Tea shop 'Het Kleinste Huis' is located in… the smallest house in Amsterdam! The tiny building from the early 18th century, located in the heart of the city center, houses the largest tea collection in the city at just 9m2.
Tea shop 'Het Kleinste Huis' was founded in 2014 and has since grown into a major tea specialist.
With love and attention to product, quality and customer, we put together our very extensive collection of (organic) loose teas, from all over the world.
In addition, tea shop 'Het Kleinste Huis' sells a fine collection of herbs and spices and delicacies from Amsterdam.
Above the tea shop are perhaps the 2 most special tea rooms in the Netherlands!
Tea as tea should be, 100% natural... We only use the best ingredients for all our teas. Straight from nature, without artificial additives. That is why you will not find any E-numbers or preservatives in our teas.
Where possible, we always try to offer an organic alternative to our teas. Our collection of organic teas expands every month.
Loose tea is, in addition to being tastier than tea from a bag, also better for the environment. Less packaging needs to be used and you can make tea from loose tea several times. Count out your winnings! In addition, our packaging is 100% recyclable.
Many of our customers nowadays take a caddy or glass jar to our tea shop to fill with loose leaf tea. In this way we save even more on packaging and the environment.
Did you know that tea can also be wonderfully combined with savory foods?
I put it to the test with a delicious piece of old Cantal cheese, brought from the beautiful Auvergne in France. Cantal cheese has a strong taste. Spicy, slightly salty and with full tones in which a creamy, almost vanilla-like hint can be detected. Curious how it tastes in combination with an Oolong from Tanzania?
I know, the real wine purists will find what I'm about to describe a sacrilege... Chardonnay with a purple hue.
A nice summer twist on this white wine. All you need is a few blue ice cubes and Chardonnay. Your friends will be impressed. Curious how to make Chardonnay Violet? Then read on..
Currently one of my favorite tea drinks this summer... Chilled Matcha Latte! Matcha helps to boost your energy and concentration, while also giving you a sense of calm and clarity.
Quick to make and healthy too! Read more about how you can easily make a Chilled Matcha Latte at home.
Do you want to prepare loose leaf tea at home?
That's very simple! To make loose leaf tea you only need a few basic elements. Tea leaves, hot water and something to put your tea in.
However, there are a few things that need some extra attention, such as the temperature of the water and the brewing time of the tea. We've listed it all here for you!
Last week one of our nicest customers, Chloe, came by for a pleasant conversation at our tea table.
Chloe started a podcast last year where she interviews people who play a role in her life. Today it was my turn and I was allowed to elaborate for more than half an hour about one of my great passions ... tea. Follow our conversation on Spotify!
I think every parent encounters this at some point. Isn't there a better alternative to lemonade or fruit juice for your kids? Even the healthy drinks are often still full of sugars and artificial additives. Tasty, but not really healthy. Offering only water is not always an option either. As a mother of two young daughters, I was always faced with this dilemma. Fortunately, as the owner of a tea shop, the solution was close at hand!
In 2014 we, Kirsten and Niels, started our tea adventure with a beautiful tea shop in the smallest house in Amsterdam. With our enthusiasm and expertise we try to help all our customers as optimally as possible in finding the right tea. With over 200 teas in stock in our tea shop, there is always something for everyone.
Come smell, feel, see and taste in our special tea shop
For us, drinking tea is more than just putting a tea bag in hot water and wait. When drinking tea you use all your senses. You want to smell, feel, see and taste the tea. You want to be advised in your choice. Maybe even put together your own blend. No effort is too much for us to help you in your search for the perfect cup of tea.All this is possible in our tea shop.
Do you want extensive advice? Then book a tea tasting in one of our tea rooms.
At the start of our tea shop, we also started selling tea through this website. Many of our teas that we sell in our tea shop can also be ordered online.
Buying your tea online may be convenient and fast, but not always obvious. Especially when it comes to loose leaf tea. Sometimes the online description of a tea seems appealing, but the taste is disappointing in practice. You often have to rely on what is described in the product description of the tea.
The right advice, also in our online tea shop!
We therefore try to provide our products with detailed descriptions, photos, videos and taste ranges as much as possible. Everything to make your choice as easy and good as possible.
If you still find it difficult to make the right choice, call us on +31 20 752 75 85 or contact us via our contact form. We are happy to help you!
Of course you are also very welcome in our tea shop in the Oude Hoogstraat in Amsterdam.
