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!

We were welcomed in at the door by Patricia. Very lovely lady. Michael began showing us various teas as Patricia made us some tea to sip while we shopped. Very welcoming, warm reception. Michael later made us several different teas that we had asked to try and added a couple he thought we would enjoy. Wonderful experience. Michael is very knowledgeable and generously shares that knowledge. We will definitely be back again and again.

The Asian woman, who sat with an Asian man with one young Asian guy and one young Asian lady, waved at us when we entered the store. We asked if they had Pu-erh tea bags and they said they did not. Then she started to tell me about the kinds of Pu-erh tea that they had. I noticed that the label on the packages of tea was incorrect (the words did not make sense) and she sounded confusing so we said we would think about them and started to leave. Then she told us how to make tea with the filter and the tea cup condescendingly. We left.

Stopped in with my daughter looking for a tea pet and had the pleasure of sitting with Michael for probably close to an hour, he prepared several teas for us and was so incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. We will be back for sure!

I started coming here 4 years ago when I would visit Vancouver. Amazingly it is virtually not on any one's radar, shows you how Chinese it is, even though it is one of the best brick and mortar places to buy Chinese tea in North America. Good selection of authentic pu-er cha, from the cheap to mind blowing 10 year LBZ. Since it is in Richmond, and I've never seen another person inside who wasn't Chinese, it will probably continue to languish in the minds of people who are impressed by the $5 mass manufactured teas in Chinatown and cafes, but it's the only place I buy puer from anymore in person that matches up to what one can buy online.

I have been here twice to get some loose leaf tea in the past month or so. I found this place in passing on the way to a dessert place that was in the area. I am starting to get more into these type of loose leaf teas for cleansing more than the "fun" teas at other places. Prices are all over the map depending on the tea, however, I received a generous quantity of their green tea based teas. Decent customer service.
