Moychay is an international tea company headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Our mission is to promote and develop traditional tea culture while sourcing and sharing the most unique and rare teas from countries such as China, Japan, Georgia, Vietnam and other countries. With over 20 years of experience in the world of tea, we continue to deepen our knowledge and expertise through constant exploration.
Our founder, Sergey Shevelev, spends up to half of each year traveling through world tea regions in search of the finest teas. We only source all our goods directly, constantly upgrading oir collection, which already has hundreds of rare tea varieties. We also produce oir own tea in Georgia and Thailand, further expanding our understanding of diverse terroirs and traditions.
We believe that tea is a drink that brings people together — a source of joy, emotion, depth, and meaningful communication in any setting. If you are looking for unique teas and want to immerse yourself in the richness of tea culture, you are in the right place.

Authentic Chinese Tea Ceremonies
Next to all that, you can experience the fusion of tea, teaware and culture in our Tea Ceremony rooms on the second floor. There are 3 rooms, each with their own look and ambiance: Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese.
You can reserve one of those rooms for a Tea Tasting (Ping Cha) or a Tea Ceremony (Gong Fu Cha) to enjoy the tea on your own, or among friends. One such room can accommodate up to 9 guests.
While attending a Ping Cha, you will learn about the Chinese tea culture and how to best brew these teas. Together with a Tea Guide, you will choose a tea that you would like to drink and infuse throughout the 1,5 hours that will be able to spend in the tea room, around 30 minutes of which will be under guidance.
During the Gong Fu Cha ceremony, our Senior Tea Guide will spend around 1,5 hours with you, giving you a deep dive into Chinese tea culture and submerging you into the relaxing ambiance of tea and everything that surrounds it.
Personal attention & recommendation
Our Tea Guides are there to provide you with the best experience, answer all of your questions and advise you about our teas and teaware, which is of course also for sale, so you can enjoy delicious tea at home too.
Along with this, we also have a beautiful, Oriental-living-room style space where you can drink a cup of tea with your friends casually, or enjoy a drink from our tea bar (where we make our delicious Matchaccinos - using our special, directly sourced Matcha, among other artisanal drinks).
Our team hopes to welcome you soon, online or offline. Don’t forget to reserve a tea ceremony via the website, but the tea bar and shop are always free to visit and all of our tea guides are available for personal advice.
Collaborations, B2b and events
We also run a wide range of projects — from the Amsterdam Tea Festival to collaborations with various businesses, franchise partnerships, tea catering, events, and much more. We are open to cooperation and are always ready to share our expertise, experience, and products with you, bringing value to your project, business, or event. We would be happy to get in touch with you.
