About Tekkoon Tea Shop

Tekkoon Tea Shop is a Chinese tea shop in the Chinatown area of Burswood, Auckland, at 262 Ti Rakau Drive. It was founded in 1998 by Paul Ho, whose family continues the business. The shop sells loose and pressed teas, including aged pu-erh cakes, and teaware. Its website lists examples such as a ripe Dan Feng Large Tree pu-erh from 2012, a raw Mengku Yunnan Bingdao pu-erh from 2014, and a raw Banzhang 100-year-old tree pu-erh from 2017. The business also says it has supplied tea to restaurants across New Zealand and overseas for nearly 30 years, so some visitors will know its tea from a local Chinese restaurant.

Customers say they were welcomed to a private kungfu tea ceremony, where they tasted a range of high-quality teas. Another visitor says the staff member took time to talk through tea and teaware options, and that the visit felt like an introduction rather than a sale. One customer who lives outside Auckland found the shop by searching online and was glad they clicked through. Reviewers mention helpful staff and the tea shop itself most often.
