MEET YOUR NEW HOME...AND YOUR NEW CAR!
TEA FOR TWO
Green, black, oolong or good old-fashioned English Breakfast: we have the run- down for your tea needs in Vancouver’s downtown.
For the Sophisticated Sipper
The Cadillac of tea-sipping experiences, Urban Tea Merchants is the exclusive North American purveyor of TWG teas, blender of what are often considered the most aromatic, sensuous teas in the world. Afternoon tea is a must-do for any local tea lover. Try the Chocolate Earl Grey with a tea-infused macaron shipped in fresh from Ladurée in France.
The newest kid on the block, this is THE spot for the corporate crowd to get their midday caffeine kick. Yes, they have some amazing coffee, but don’t discount the tea. Bel Cafe carries SPOT Tea – a Vancouver based tea company with a full variety of tea colours, flavors and caffeine levels!
Traditional Tea Enthusiast
Unassuming from the outside, Finch's is a go-to for many tea enthusiasts. Not to be outdone by the pastries, but you will be hard pressed to pass up a scone, muffin or loaf while perusing your tea pick of the day. A bit of a walk for PaPa residents Finch's can be found on the corner of Homer and Pender on the edge of Gastown.
While not exactly downtown, Granville Island Tea Co is just a quick Aqua Bus ride to Granville Island. Try one of 150+ rare teas. Owners Mark and Deborah will be your guide to teas from all over the world. If you order the Chai Tea Latte, be sure to ask them to add ginger for a zinger kick.
