We are an award winning independent Welsh tea business located in Carmarthen, in the beautifully green county of Carmarthenshire. Whether you visit our tea shop in person, or shop with us online, we look forward to welcoming you and hope that you will enjoy shopping with us.
Tea Traders is a member of the European Speciality Tea Association. We actively seek out interesting and delicious leaf teas from quality producers around the world. Whether you are a leaf-tea enthusiast seeking out single origin teas, or a curious beginner eager to discover and taste delicious new teas we are sure you will find plenty of options within our range.
Many customers at the shop don't drink tea! Coffee drinkers are also welcome and we have many regulars who enjoy calling in for a friendly chat, a delicious cup of tea or coffee, a freshly made savoury snack or a slice of homemade cake.
Every customer is important to us and we believe strongly in providing high standards of service, cleanliness & customer care. Whether shopping online, or visiting us in person we will always do our best to help you and we are thankful that our customer reviews on Tripadvisor, Google Reviews, and Yotpo are consistently 5 star. We are delighted to have been awarded a Tripadvisor Travellors' Choice Award every year since 2020.
We are proud to be part of a thriving Welsh community and to celebrate our Welsh heritage and the beautiful area in which we live. Paul completed the Wales Tourism Ambassador Gold Award for Carmarthenshire in 2024 and is always happy to help visitors explore our region and to discover more about the history and heritage of our town.
