Westholme Tea Company

Really lovely tea shop and ceramic art studio. Great place to visit with friends and family visiting the area. Gorgeous collection of teas and ceramics. Nice selection of items also from Salt Spring Island.

Went in with my partner today (first visit to the shop) and had a lovely experience with Shawna (sp?). We also met the owners who were great and informative. Ended up buying two wedding gifts (tea & mugs) and some tea and accoutrements for ourselves. Will make the trip back soon.

I bought Red Moon and Mysteaque and they are both super smooth teas, both really great Teas, my friend said the Mysteaque tea was the best peppermint tea she's ever had.

A very lovely tea store. Excellent teas, a wonderful selection of tea related goodies, artistic ceramics, beautiful location, and a great staff.

Westholme Tea is the best place ever! Fantastic little store with all the tea and necessities of which you can imagine. Awesome staff. Even the drive there is magical! A must see" to stop by. We always look forward to our visit everytime. Also

Wow!!!!!! What a treat and what a treasure. Lots of love went into this gem of a place. The owner and staff are so passionate about what they do. We paid for the tea tasting experience and learned so much about the world of tea. Will be back again for sure!

Lovely place. Beautiful garden, overwhelmingly large tea selection, but very helpful and patient staff who helped me select a tea to my tastes. Had the earl grey cake and it was lovely, so soft and airy with great flavour. The hand made crockery is a lovely touch.

I recently visited Westholme Tea Company and was struck by how beautiful the place was.Nestled in the Cowichan Valley, Westholme Tea Company is idyllic. The small BC tea farm feels peaceful and far removed from the ordinary world. Yet, in reality, Westholme is a short, convenient trip for those based at Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill, or Victoria.While I was at Westholme, I purchased their Royal Yunnan Gold and Keeman Superior. As a tea fan, I was keen to taste both black teas.The dry tea leaves of the Royal Golden Yunnan had vibrant golden tea buds interspersed among the black tea leaves. When steeped, the drink had a creamy, gently sweet, round flavour with no bitterness. The Keeman Superior had malt and dried stone fruit on the nose, and toasty pine on the palate. Both teas were delicious.I was also impressed with the range of tea and products Westholme Tea Company carried. The teaware, made by Margit, was beautiful and unique. My biggest regret was not purchasing one of her artisanal, hand made pieces of teaware.I plan to go back to Westholme Tea Company and have already recommended it to my friends!

Disappointed. You can't smell the teas so you have no idea if you'll like them. They no longer offer brewed tea for purchase or any kind of food. There are some chairs outside but no shade. We made the 40+ min trip for less than 5 min inside. We won't be back.

When you hear the name Tea Farm you probably wonder what the heck is that? I highly recommend letting that curiosity be satisfied and stop by for a visit.The location sits upon an old homestead and converted barn that now houses an amazing, relaxing, inviting and charming atmosphere. Sit by the warm fire on a cold damp winter day or sit outside alongside the open beauty of a meadow on the patio area.The studio/cafe/Shop allows a nice place to sit in a serene place while enjoying the finest of teas while being educated on them. Browse the large selection of packaged teas to take with you or try something new. The Tea Farm is also the studio and gallery for the incredible works of co-owner Margit Nelleman. From the cups, saucers, plates and tea pots the cafe serves with to her famous tea light houses, vases and table lamps.The true highlight of the Tea Farm is the wonderful staff and especially the co-owner Victor. Be dazzled by the educational experience of all the teas they serve and sell. Victor and his staff make you feel welcome and more like family over for tea and a snack rather than a customer.I can’t recommend a visit here enough.
