“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.“

“Came here for tea, fell in love with the experience.
Sooo many choices!
You can go many places to buy tea… but you come here to find tea🙏🏼.
There is a reason people come here. And there is a reason why they have been in business for 25+ years.
Simply amazing!!“
“what a special place, filled with special ppl. If you are a fan of Chinese and Japanese teas, there is no better place to start or continue your exploration than the calming environs of 05 rare tea bar. the selection they carry is vast, flavourful and exciting and they also carry some spectacular tea from other nations like Nepal, Bhutan, Georgia, Malawi etc. But it's the people behind the bar that make this place so lively to visit. Nana, Rose, Mark, Sayaka and all the others are more than just people that prepare your tea - they are passionate experts of their craft who live and love tea. There's no place quite like it - at least that i've found.“
“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! 🥰 🫖“

“Huge tea selection and lovely gift pots and mugs; they have great recommendations for your needs. Love the shop and it’s location in the Lonsdale Quay. It’s a must visit!“
“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“
“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.“

“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!“
