Recommendations for European tea? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

All the supermarkets seems to sell the same brands and I have no idea if any of them are mostly processed in Europe or elsewhere in the world.

Do you have recommendations? I like the ones with a fruity taste more.

This one is my current favorite:

They claim on the package that they care about sustainability, better working conditions and social engagement.

1663 https://www.1336.fr/ they went bankrupt a few years ago and instead of closing, they became a worker owned coop. They've been thriving ever since and their tea is really nice!

I also really like French upper range chains Palais des thés and Mariage frères, but they're fancy and expensive.

So, was it originally called 1663, then changed to 1336 once it became a coop? Or was it just a typo on your part?

It was a typo, sorry! It switched to 1663 when it became a coop and had a completely different name before. :)
