Tea Shops in Vancouver, BC?

Hello everyone! I’ll be visiting Vancouver for the first time soon. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on tea shops or stores I should go to?

If possible, I would like to hit some shops that have sample sizes (around 10g).

Thanks!

That thread has some good info (I think there’s even a link to a map somewhere)

Treasure Green Tea, The Chinese Tea Shop, O5, Cultivate Tea are all places that come to mind for no flavor added teas. La Petite Cuillere is a nice place to go for high tea and it’s relatively inexpensive. Can’t help much if you’re looking for flavor added stuff (maybe Granville Island Tea Co?).

There are a number of steepster folk in Vancouver – posting in the thread I linked would likely get some responses from other Vancouverites

I was considering The Chinese Tea Shop and O5, but I wasn’t sure. Thanks for recommendations and the link to the other thread! The map has been useful.

Murchie’s Tea and Coffee has quite a few black and green teas.

Granville Island Tea Company has soooo many flavours. They also have a bunch of unflavoured teas, as well as rooibos and herbal tisanes.

Secret Garden Tea Company

Yes, I am hitting Granville for sure! Not too sure if I’ll be able to go to the other ones, but I will keep them in mind!

i havnt been yet, so i cant comment on it but you’ll see their tea stock is limited. if you just want to drink tea with nice snacks.. maybe this is for you.

Yeah! It is on the list! It sounds really neat place.

Hey! I visited Vancouver earlier this year and went to The Chinese Tea Shop :) picked up a couple of things there. I didn’t go to o5 and since a number of people have asked if I went. Heard many good things and regret not going so don’t miss out on it!

Thanks for reaffirming O5 and the Chinese Tea Shop, really excited to go!
