I run a tea shop with my dad. We live in Sweden.

It's a small shop in south Sweden. The municipality of Malmö. Malmö is the third biggest town in Sweden with almost 350000 people living here. And even though it is in the north of Europe, we rearly have snow. This pic is from Monday.

Our logo or coat of arms. It's a teapot over two branches of tea.

The hardest part about keeping the shop is the constant cleaning, dusting and straightning of stuff on the shelfs.

We keep over 200 different types of tea in stock. And also we keep a shit load of tea pots in stock.

...and tea cups and mugs. These mugs in particular have a matching siv and a lid.

My dad buys our stock. Some times I don't think he knows what he is doing at all.
But then again, who doesn't like a tea pot in a bright color?

A couple of years back he bought a shit load of porcelain with the art work of Picasso printed on. I like it and so does my dad but we seem to be the only ones in town who do.

Just some more tea pots and mugs.

We also carry some Danish design. There is great rivalry between the Swedes and the Danes. How ever we sell a lot of this "Royal Copenhagen" tea stuff to old ladies from all countries.

Here we have tea pots inspired by the old Chinese ships called "Junk". They are made out of clay. I really like them.

My dad tends to by anything with flowers on. I don't know if it's our middle eastern roots or his age.....

Here you have a Chinese "kung fu cha" set. It is essential to the Chinese tea ceremony.

Sometimes it feels like the store is too cluttered. I think I will de-clutter once my dad retires for real.

The name of the store is "Pappas". I opened the shop in 2002 and soon after I changed it's name to get my dad on board. "Pappas" means fathers or dads.

Just a nother gift set with a tea pot and some tea cups.

These are cool. They are made of clay but have a glazed finish and look a lite like snake skin

We sell a lot of these glas tea pots. People tend to want to see the color of their tea I guess.

Also these are popular. Simple traditional white English tea pots

Oh yea. Just some of the tea. Rooibos in the red tea cans, green tea in the green and black tea in the black cans.
Herbals are in silver or glas, like the ones on my table there.

Let's not forget the tetsubin tea pots. Japanese cast iron tea pots.

And the smal Chinese hand made clay pots. My dad collects these.

So many different types of tea pots...

And tea cups and mugs

We have been ruining it since 2002. My dad does the day to day and I manage the website and such. But lately the old man has been feeling....old I guess. I have had the privilege to help him out here and there but now the time is coming to take over the daily grind and I must confess I am a bit overwhelmed. But I will sip my tea and deal with it.

FP edit: I dont know how to do proper FP edits...

Here he is, the tea master himself. Holding my daughters stuffed giraff for her. I wish I will grow up to be just like him.
