“I had the Avocado-matcha smoothie (only served cold) that was amazing! It was served with dates and cranberries. The place is super cute and the owner is nice and friendly. Price is insanely respectable.
Students beware, you can’t bring ur laptop here or study.
Definitely recommend and would go back!“

“As someone who has studied and tasted teas of all kinds, I hold this shop in highest esteem.100 % Organic, fresh and pungent aromas exude throughout their beautiful little shop with a zen attitude and passionate ownership. 2 fine bulk stores nearby and a very short drive will bring you to the oldest herb shop in Québec (and Canada?) Herboristerie Desjardins.“

“C’est une excellente adresse pour une expérience agréable. On est accueilli avec le sourire et on nous laisse le temps d’apprécier. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.“
“Owner is so kind and knowledgeable. Takes his time explaining how to properly prepare your tea and the properties of said tea. Also offers a free tasting which is incredible! Aside from tea, he also carries multiple handmade clay tea pots which are on the pricier side but definitely something worth saving up for and potentially splurging on! Will be going back for sure!!!“

“Visiting Ming Tao Xuan for the first time was a delightful experience that left me feeling both relaxed and inspired. Nestled in the heart of Old Port Montréal, this charming tea house offers a serene escape from the bustling streets outside. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with an interior that exudes traditional Chinese elegance. Shelves lined with clay pots and jars of loose-leaf tea added an authentic touch, while the soft lighting and gentle background music created a tranquil atmosphere perfect for savoring tea.
The service was impeccable. The staff greeted me warmly and patiently guided me through their extensive tea collection, answering my questions with expertise and enthusiasm. Their genuine passion for tea was evident, and they took the time to explain the origins and nuances of different varieties, making the experience educational as well as enjoyable.
I decided to purchase 100g of Jasmine Yin Zhen, a premium white tea infused with the delicate aroma of jasmine flowers. The tea's subtle fragrance and smooth flavor were captivating, and I was impressed by the quality. The staff even offered tips on how to brew it properly to bring out its best characteristics.
Overall, my visit to Ming Tao Xuan was a sensory delight, combining a relaxing ambiance, exceptional service, and a remarkable selection of fine teas. I can’t wait to return to explore more of their offerings and perhaps expand my tea collection with one of their exquisite clay pots.“

“Certified review by an experienced Matcha Girlie of 7 years 😜 This is the highest quality matcha you can get. Got the matcha on matcha float. Thickness and umami of the matcha soft serve was very good, it was so thick it wouldn't melt right away. Good ratio. Even the slushie part was just the same even after all the ice melted, jt kept the good taste. Price is absolutely fair too for the float with was a bit over $8 after tax, when other cafes who offer a simple, low quality matcha latte at the same price.“

“What a AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Thomas and Steven have procured some of the finest things to offer. We ordered The King Afternoon Tea. Everything offered was completely delicious, and made in house. I have food allergies and they even made a few changes for me. Hibiscus’s based tea from Fortnum and Mason was they perfect compliment to scones, mini quiche, beetroot mimosa egg and other sweet and savory treats. I even iced my tea. Service was beyond GOOD. Give yourself a HIGH TEA moment.“

“I get chai lattés all over Montreal. The chai latté here gets first prize! First of all, thank you for having soy milk. I don’t like oat and can’t have dairy. 2nd, he doesn’t use a horrible chai « syrup » like a particular other very well known American chain does. It’s not over the top sweet. It’s simply perfect. Worth the drive to Outrement. Support local businesses! Support this one!“
