The servers are SO knowledgeable and very accommodating. There are SO many teas to choose from. They also have tastings for different matcha varieties. We tried both ice and hot and sampled their kombucha. Overall - great time to get some knowledge in, how to properly prepare matcha, and most of all enjoy it!

If you love Chinese tea, you owe it to yourself to stop by here. If you enjoy tea only on occasion,…read moreor are looking for high-tea or a place worth posting on Instagram, this is the wrong place for you. There is a minimum spend of $25 per person. While you can get by with spending less on slow days, teas here are not inexpensive. My wife and I shared a $30 pot of tea, and the menus had teas prices in the hundreds. Michael - one of the knowledgeable workers in the tea shop, educated us during our time there about how tea can be aged, and how aged tea is not easily found. Pretty interesting look into a world I know absolutely nothing about. The tea I had was good, but again, unless you have a ultra refined palette, you might not be able to fully appreciate the quality of the tea here.

I wondered what kind of tea store I would be going to. My GF kept telling me that I had to go there…read moreand there was this tea set that she really really wanted to buy. I was skeptic to say the least. A tea shop here in Richmond? You gotta be kidding. Well, it was pretty fancy. Small, cozy and smelled wonderful. The aroma of all those different blends from green to black to redbush. Gunsmoke tea, infused fruity tea's and more. Wall to wall tea and items that go with serving it. And of course like the little princess that she is. She wanted the best that she could find. A Japanese glass tea set. Don't ask me how much it cost, but it was enough, they all remembered me the next time I went in. "Oh! I remember you! You came in here with your girlfriend and bought the tea set and some tea cups.!" Yes yes.yes. So now that fancy tea set sits on her fancy counter in the kitchen. We will have to try the tea in it someday. So this is to say that this place also has a wonderful collection of tea and china ware. If you like tea's and love your tea parties. Drop on by and check out the wares. I'm sure you won't be able to leave empty handed. I know I did.

* "German" tea in Richmond? *…read more This little shop was a very pleasant surprise. From the outside it doesn't look like much, tucked into a small spot in a Chinese strip mall. But when I went inside I was greeted by a very pleasant person that immediately brought me a small tasting cup of cranberry tea imported from Germany. Yes, Germany. All of the teas in this shop come from a wholesaler in Germany. Go figure. They specialize in herbal and fruit blends and have an incredible variety. I'm not normally a fan of herbal or fruit teas, and cranberry tea would normally not be something I like. But this was delicious. It wasn't overpowering at all, yet had distinct cranberry overtones. Perhaps it also helps that they serve the samples in real tea cups that highlight the flavour instead of some sort of disposable cup that ruins the flavour. They have a nice presentation of all of their teas, with small glass samplers for smelling in front of each larger tin. The fruit teas are their largest selection, with some very interesting blends you don't normally see. But they also have a selection of Honeybush teas, Rooibos, Green Rooibos, various Estate Teas, flavoured black teas, flavoured green teas, white teas, and even a small selection of Japanese and Taiwanese teas. They apparently even stock some of the Taiwanese spring high mountain teas when they are in season. A very impressive selection. I counted close to 100 teas available. I found an earl gray that was made with green tea instead of black. It had a very pleasant aroma, and it was an interesting twist for me. When I asked for 100 grams, the kind server said that it was on sale and gave a 25% discount. Go figure! It came very nicely packed in an airtight package, which was placed inside of a larger box with two metal re-sealers. They also provide brewing instructions customized for each of their teas so you can get the best flavour. This is a really nice place. I'm still a little confused about why ALL the teas come through Germany - including the teas from Asia. But as long as the product quality is good I suppose they have a reason?!?!?!

What I love about this place is the variety of options they offer. There are options for omnivores, vegetarians and vegans at this place. Not only do they cater to different dietary restrictions but if you're wanting to spend a little less, or eat a little less they offer Mini Afternoon Tea sets! Regular Afternoon Tea sets are $55 per person and Mini Afternoon Tea sets are $38 per person. Oh, and  you can even order off a regular a la carte menu if Afternoon Tea fare isn't your thing. The food here was excellent. Quality ingredients were used for our food and they didn't skimp on anything either. While 3 of us had Afternoon Tea, my husband decided to order from the a la carte menu. He had a lobster bisque and a sandwich. One of the best lobster bisques he's ever had. Possibly even the best!  It's a popular place so I do recommend reserving well in advance to get a good table. We reserved only one day in advance and were put on a couch with two very small tables in front of us, and a side table on our left. It took quite a bit of maneuvering to fit our food and drinks on the small tables provided, and I had to turn to my left to pick up the very heavy teapot every time I wanted to pour some more tea for any of us. The lady who took my reservation over the phone did warn in advance that it would be a tight spot. I don't think I realized just how tight it was going to be. Wouldn't take this seat again, but with a bigger table I would absolutely come back to this Tea House sometime!
