De Theefabriek

De Theefabriek is a unique combination of the Netherlands' only tea museum, an atmospheric tea shop with perhaps the most extensive tea menu in the world and a fragrant tea shop.

Take a closer look

A paradise for the tea lover! De Theefabriek is located in the former church and pastorie of the picturesque village of Houwerzijl, bought in 1989 for the symbolic sum of 1 guilder (45 euro cents) and now grown into a true tea attraction that welcomes around 50,000 visitors a year. Houwerzijl is located in beautiful, peaceful north-western Groningen, on the edge of National Park Lauwersmeer.
