Our Stockists & Friends
Stockists
Local artisan treats and big hot sandwiches
Lightfoot Kitchen & Deli - Bangor
Cha Dodo's 1st deli stockist. Located in central Bangor.
Co-founded by the incredible duo of Nina and Thérèse, Lightfoot approached us about stocking teas while our founder was away in Japan. After returning, he met up with them both and has since called Lightfoot one of his favourite spots to go to for a delicious bite to eat, be it savoury or sweet.
Lightfoot is the pinnacle of "Support Local" with how they feature and stock artisanal produce from local businesses, often using ingredients in their own baked treats and hot sandwiches. In our case, Nina has used Sumudu Chai and Sonogi Matcha in all kinds of delights. Their beliefs in sustainability and zero-waste aligns very much with our own and we couldn't be happier.
At Cha Dodo we are ever thankful to Nina and Thérèse for their continued support from the start and the community they foster.
Bold, delicious plant-based Asian-fusion worth sharing
Jumon - Belfast | Dublin
Cha Dodo's 1st restaurant stockist. Located in central Belfast and more recently Dublin.
Featuring delicious dishes packed full of flavour created by head chef Tamsin, she became intrigued about the idea of serving speciality tea in her restaurant and how they paired with her adventurous flavours.
Alongside tea mocktails, you can now find five Cha Dodo teas on their hot drinks menu as a dry alternative to alcohol - including the Blas 2026 Bronze award-winner Black Ruby.
Look forward to new additions in Dublin's restaurant!
Independent, family-run holistic wellness and natural remedies
Ellison's Health & Wellbeing - Newtownards
Cha Dodo's 1st health and wellness stockist.
Run by Trevor and Lisa Ellison, Ellison's is a store we entered out of curiosity right as Cha Dodo began. We had good conversations with the owners over the health benefits of tea and many other topics.
Trevor kindly invited Cha Dodo to set up a small pop-up within their store to showcase fine speciality loose-leaf teas to the Newtownards locals. Reception from customers who came in was incredibly warm as they tasted our teas, despite the awful rain that day, and Ellison's decided to move ahead with stocking several of our teas.
We are very thankful for their ongoing belief and support.
Small box. Big impact. Gifts with a purpose
Storybox NI - Belfast
Cha Dodo's 1st overall and retail stockist. Located in East Belfast.
Based in the East Belfast Portview Trade Centre right beside Banana Block, Storybox NI, Storybox NI acts as an ethical gifting platform and creative hub with an emphasis on supporting local businesses.
We approached Rachel McIlgorm who was delighted to have us do a formal tasting in her shop, to which she went ahead and decided to stock several of our teas.
You can sometimes find us booking the Storybox studio for events and workshops - most recently we ran a surprise Sri Lankan tea hen party for one of our beloved customers!
We thank Rachel and her team for the ongoing support, especially from their dog Tess - Storybox's #1 tea aroma consultant.
