Tea room/tea shop owners: If your tea room or tea shop is already listed at TeaGuide and you want to change only a couple of details, you can send them to us in an email. Please be sure to include the name of your business and its location (city plus state, province, or other country) so we can correctly identify it.

You must have JavaScript enabled on your computer to use this form. If you cannot use JavaScript, please contact us for an Update form in text format. Be sure to include your tea room/tea shop name and address with your request.

Why does TeaGuide ask for so much information? Because the more details you provide, and the more accurate they are, the more interest it will generate for your tea room or tea shop by our readers. And isn't that the point of listing your business in our Directory? 

Your email address: (e.g.: you@abc.com) *Required*
(We do not trade or sell email addresses, and we do not send spam. Email address is for confirmation only.)
