The Chinese Tea Shop

Listen Linda, just come here. Such a variety, such high quality. And he makes it very very approachable without any arrogance. A tea man for the people lol.

I really like the place. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable about tea. Donc expect to find cheap tea there, most of the teas are fancy and aged. Which make them very tasty but quite expensive.

Daniel was extremely helpful when it came to finding a tea pot within my price range. A great selection of puerh and oolong as well as tea pots and accessories. I can't recommend The Chinese Tea Shop highly enough and look forward to coming back!

I can’t overstate how surprised I was to find a gem like this in Chinatown. I came in looking to find some tea for my dad — however, I was both overwhelmed by the varieties and unsure of what my dad would like. When I called my dad on the phone to ask, I struggled to understand the specific name of the tea my dad was referring to in Cantonese. Daniel (the owner) understood immediately and helped me find my dad’s specific favorite tea.Beyond helping with that, Daniel also gave me and my friends a very detailed explanation of the different varieties offered at the store and some suggestions of what we might like, along with some recommendations of sites to visit since we were touring Vancouver. I’ll definitely make time to come back here during my next visit to the city!

Visiting Vancouver we lucked into finding this gem of a shop in Chinatown! I like tea and wanted to buy some but the selection was vast and varied. The shopkeeper spent a lot of time explaining and educating us on all the factors that affect the flavor: region, when the leaves are picked, what part of the leaf is used, the oxidation process used, etc. I came out knowing so much more about tea quality and types that my tea drinking experience is now more discerning. Everything about the shop was excellent and I highly recommend visiting and getting some samples.

Daniel, the personable and friendly owner of the Chinese Tea Shop, is a wealth of information and experience for all things tea! We were welcomed into his shop and treated to a wonderful tea tasting as an introduction and practical means of answering our questions about the various teas, brewing techniques and serving/tasting. Daniel sells tea but this was not so much about selling tea as creating an informed appreciation for the subtle nuances of flavour and aroma, a very patient and knowledgeable man!

The Chinese Tea Shop offers a great assortment of traditional teas as well as teapots and all the accessories necessary for brewing kung fu tea.The owner, Daniel, has real passion for tea and tea culture.

Awesome experience with the process of buying, support and quality of products.At first, I wanted to ship to the Czech Republic, but eshop hod no option for my country. I contacted the shop and their response positively suprised me. They added my country to the option. Later they refunded part of the shipping because it was cheaper to ship to my country then expected.The package was safely wrapped.I love the new YiXing. The quality and photos are as presented on the shop.One of my best experience shopping online. Thanks!

This tea shop has the best selection and prices in town. It's run by Daniel and his wife, who are both very knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a free tea tasting session where they sit you down and teach you about different teas, tea culture, and how to brew gongfu tea. The quality of the tea and yixing tea pots here are amazing. I've been going to this tea shop for around 4-5 years now, and it is without a doubt the best tea shop in the province, if not the country. Even though I plan on moving out of Canada, I will continue to buy teas through their online store.
