DONT BUY FROM HERECame to buy some pu'reh the older woman kept trying to sell us Jasmine tea. We kept telling her we didn't want jasmine tea.Don’t buy from here

Went in for some pu'erh etc. The old man and lady kept offering us jasmine tea. Well, yes it smells nice, but that's not what we are looking for. She finally sold us some teas that we asked for that, once we got home and tasted it, we definitely paid way too much for. The quality for the price was definitely not there. What a shame. They didn't seem to understand English very well, which isn't the end of the world, you can still figure things out. However we really didn't feel welcome in the store. Very disappointing visit! We will continue our tea search and hopefully can find a friendly, helpful vendor locally instead of having to order online.

Came to buy some pu'reh the older woman kept trying to sell us Jasmine tea. We kept telling her we didn't want jasmine tea. Finally after making our purchases she started trying to shoo us out of the store. Unfortunate because we are looking for a good store to buy good cha. This won't be the store.The Pu'erh we did get was pk not great and the white tea also ok but not great.
Well, add my wechat
leomingli, I have more quality Pu-erh tea cake for you.

It's been a long time since my last sip of top quality of Oolong tea. I strong recommend their Shan Ling Xi oolong tea and Pear mountain oolong tea. Amazing taste and reminds me of Taiwan. The owner of the shop is pretty down to earth with good hospitality warm fun attitude. The lady Amy who works there was very patient and kind to answer every of my questions. Great experience with this store.

DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE, THE OWNER WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF IF SHE BELIEVES SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. The owner literaly sold me a tea cake that's selling for only $10 online for $100. She first tried to sell it to me for $150, after I turned it down she lowered it to $100. It's my own fault for believing her words, when a lot of her products are not labled with a price tag. I understand business is hard during this time, but this is not the way... If the owner respond on here, I am going in there to return this tea cake in person tomorrow. I have zero problem with a in store confrontation.Anyone with a brain that's capable of logic thinking after reading this review would never step a foot into this shady tea shop.Update: BE AWARE of store owner asking her friends’ for fake good reviews. All they say is good service and good products, but can’t even explain what the owner did for them to earn such a praise or why and in which way is the product quality better than other stores‘. Keep in mind google reviews can be bought easily if you pay a few dollars.

Services and sales reps are not interested to delivery your orders my restaurants in Vancouver, even min orders 250$ or more seems too small for them. Not recommend small retailers. try other suppliers

Tea is okay. Price is higher than you'd want to pay for the quality. The people who run this place are hard sellers. Once I came in because I thought I could find a relatively cheap tea tray here and instead was pressured to sit down to drink oddly bitter and astringent high mountain green tea as the lady kept dropping packs of tea in my face and shouting "THIS ONE PREMIUM!". Left quick. Maybe your experience will be a lil better if you speak Chinese. The cups are really affordable so if you're looking for cheap teaware this place is great! I've bought 3 cups from here which happen to match a gaiwan I have and I like them.

This is a store that sells tea leaves, all kind of teas in a typical Chinese tea store. They advertised as the largest supplier of Bubble tea materials. We used to shop for tea at this store when they were in Aberdeen Center many years ago. This time when we visited, we found it at a different address. Disclaimer: This review is extremely narrow on only the Hong Kong style milk tea. The Ceylon tea from this store is finely ground. If you know how to home-brew the milk tea Hong Kong Cafe style, you'll get a very strong cup that tastes just like one from a good cafe and will keep you awake for the whole day. I heard that the authentic brewing method for large batch served in Hong Kong style cafe was to run the brew thru the finely ground tea leaves in a cloth filter a few times without dipping the ground tea in water. That is easily said than done especially when you don't have commercial equipment. Just improvise and experiment if you know what taste you are shooting for. Note: I saw 2 kinds of packaging that carry the store sticker that says Hong Kong style milk tea. Checked the fine prints, one originated from Ceylon and the other from Taiwan. I have never tried the Taiwanese kind. It may taste different. The sales clerk insisted they were the same. I guess she would think Starbucks and Peet's are the same coffee too. They also do mail orders by phone. Just make sure you want the kind from Ceylon.
