“Knoedgeable and friendly small business. Exceptional selection of speciality teas (green, black, white, decaf), herbals and roiboos. There is something for the fine tea purists and something for those wanting fun flavours! Highly recommend a visit“
“This tea shop in Vancouver Chinatown is a true gem for tea lovers and anyone curious about the world of tea. The quality and diversity of their teas are exceptional. Whether you're looking for delicate white teas, robust pu-erhs, or fragrant oolongs, they have an incredible selection that caters to all tastes and preferences. Each tea is carefully sourced, and you can really tell the care and expertise that goes into curating their offerings. The owner Daniel's passion for tea is infectious, and his knowledge is both deep and approachable. During a tea-tasting session, he guided us through a curated selection, explaining the nuances of each variety and how to properly savor them. It was a relaxing and educational experience, and I left with a greater appreciation for the art of tea. Whether you're a seasoned tea drinker or just starting to explore, The Chinese Tea Shop is a welcoming and enriching place to visit. I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of their wonderful teas and the chance to learn from Daniel's expertise.“
“Amazing tea house with fantastic selection. Eliza has everything you can imagine and more. If you're thinking about stopping in, stop thinking and start stopping!“
“I have been living in Vancouver for nearly 10 years, but this is the first time I have ever been here. One thing I like about this place is that the owner teaches employees about tea culture, but not just serving skills. Considering the skyrocketing inflation, this place is actually the real deal.“

“Wilson is so awesome ! Great tea, tea lattes & espresso options... and concoctions since I never know what I want and then he just figures it out for me! I If you get a chance try his Tuna-Melt, Salad sandwich, so creamy and deliciously grilled on Focaccia ! Oh and this place attracts great people; pre-Covid, I met some great people here too ! Great little place in Yaletown 😊“
“I recommend going for the tea preparation experience“
“Just came back for a trip in Vancouver and discovered your Tea shop! Omg, what a discovery! We love chaï tea, and tasted many over the years, and finally found the best one, last week at your place! The young lady that was working Sunday morning (Mai 8) was so nice and even made us new chaï mix print, so we would know how to make it at home! This morning I’m already on your website placing an order! Thanks again for your passion! 🥰 🫖“

I am in Heaven with my morning coffee now. Merchies Best ...is the best!“

“My fiancee and I loved the milk tea & chocolate swirl ice-cream. We created our own parfait by adding strawberry syrup (free), ai-yu jelly & grass jelly too hehehe. We knew the milk tea ice-cream would be good but the chocolate was just as good. The chocolate ice-cream was very distinct. It tasted like dark meji chocolate. Mildly sweet and very much like Asian chocolates!! Next time we shall take a photo because we ate it all before this review LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I always come here for their smoked jasmine macchiato. Now I have to choose between my fav drink and yummy newly discovered ice cream hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hopefully they will offer more flavours. I highly recommend using Fantuan in-store pay at Shiny Tea. We got about 10% off by using the app. Also, I would ask for a stamp card if you visit often!!“
“I have enjoyed drinking earl grey tea for as long as I can remember. Today I’m enjoying the most fragrant, delicious cup of earl grey tea from Great Wall Tea Co. I will go as far as to say that this is the freshest and most well-balanced flavor I’ve enjoyed in a cup of tea in 25+ years! Love love love!!!“

“First timer and will definitely come back for more“
“I was impressed by their extensive selection of quality teas and the proper clay teaware used for brewing—it really elevates the experience. The service is thoughtful and unintrusive; the staff are knowledgeable without being pushy, offering great recommendations. It's a perfect place for a quiet break or to discover a new favorite tea. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a genuine tea experience.“
“Today, on a beautiful sunny day in Vancouver, I was exploring the nicer parts of downtown and stumbled upon a lovely Chinese tea shop. The two ladies working there were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. They introduced me to a variety of traditional teas, and the tasting experience was absolutely wonderful. Excellent service and high-quality tea! Highly recommended.
While itself is a wonderful experience, it is difficult to ignore the heartbreaking crisis of homelessness and addiction in this part of downtown. It is deeply concerning that this area, which represents the historic heart of our city, is so heavily impacted by these social issues. Beyond the humanitarian aspect, it is unfortunate that this situation detracts from the beauty of the neighborhood, making it feel uncomfortable for residents and tourists alike. I truly hope for better public initiatives that prioritize both the dignity of these individuals through proper reintegration programs and the restoration of the downtown area as a welcoming destination for everyone.“
“Its very delicious and very recommendable“
“Murchie’s is such a charming spot part café, part tea shop, and full of old-world charm. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed tea and baked goods.
Their tea selection is incredible, from classics like Earl Grey to unique signature blends you won’t find anywhere else. Everything tastes fresh and high-quality. The food is equally lovely—flaky pastries, buttery scones, and sandwiches that are perfect for a light lunch. Afternoon Tea here is a real treat.
The staff are always friendly, helpful, and happy to recommend something new to try. Plus, the shop section is great for picking up loose-leaf tea or beautiful teaware to take home.“
“I went in here to get some teas for work, and the workers were extremely kind and welcoming! They made me a tea while i was browsing, and smell all the teas I was looking at!
The place is super nice inside and they have TONS of options! Highly recommend if you are in need of teas!“
“Currently my go-to tea place in Richmond! Great knowledge of the source of different teas, I know I’m getting real proper leaves here :)The selection is really awesome too, from traditional classics to more premium leaves, this is a great place to explore the diversity of teas across China, Taiwan and HK. Some of their home-boxed teas also come with precise brewing instructions. I’ve been coming here for a year now and their recommendations don’t miss!!I got myself a gaiwan set from here too and the quality is amazing, keeps the heat for a long time, and cleans so easily. Such an upgrade to my brewing!“

“This was a really great afternoon tea experience. The entire presentation was lovely and we loved the two gifts included in the experience. I loved that the customer service was very good and laid back. My friend and I felt we could stay as long as we wanted and enjoy our tea and conversation at our own pace.“
“Kevin was easy to communicate with while I was making arrangements for my Moms Celebration of Life. He was responsive and had great suggestions. Dealing with him was 100% stressfree...and his food is excellent. I have never had so many guests making a point to tell me how much they enjoyed it. Thank you Bon Moment for helping make the event so special 💕“
“Popular tea based drink chain from China. The drinks are quite tasty and refreshing. We tried the coconut mango blue and the grape boom drinks. Both very good. The drinks are more expensive than places like coco but the use of tea bases is worth it. The app also makes ordering easy and their points reward system seems quite fair. When we went there was no wait or line compared to Molly tea down the way in the same strip. To each there own but I think heytea has better menu options.“

“I love coming here after a big grocery shop as a reward the incredibly kind worker made me and my sister feel welcomed the first time we visited and then on. I absolutely love the plethora of options and I've found my favorites! Mango cheesecake, pink lady, ask peach yogurt. The options for topping is great. Some drinks can be a little bitter and the slush isnt sweet enough but this place is my favourite bubble tea place 😊“
