McQuarrie's Tea & Coffee Merchants

This review is strictly for coffee beans. As someone who used to import and roast beans (both personally and for work), I know a little bit about the coffee roastery process.4 stars for the following reasons:They don’t roast their coffee beans; they outsource that process. That’s not a crime, but the problem with that is (1) you don’t know exactly when they get roasted and (2) roasting profile isn’t made known to you.Unfortunately I ran into that very issue in this store. The guy who worked there couldn’t tell me when and how the beans got roasted. Actually, he didn’t seem like a type of guy who would enjoy coffee to begin with. He couldn’t articulate the flavor profile for a few beans I asked. He just read word for word, without any enthusiasm, what was in the A4 size file containing such info. (Maybe he had a bad day so I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here) That said, people who work in any coffee shop/roaster need to LOVE coffee and be passionate about it. That’s what makes the difference in my opinion.I tried a few beans, they are good quality beans for sure, but they are not as fresh as I expected. Hopefully they improve in the roasting/passion department.

Stopped here to check out their coffee beans. Just the smell from when I entered makes me never want to leave. They have a great selection of teas, coffee and more. The prices are great and the staff are really nice. We will be back soon.

Awesome little store!A real Saskatoon gem!!Many different flavors of teas and so many coffees!!!Freshly ground for you in several VERY affordable sizes!!I absolutely love this place and recommend it to any person who enjoys a nice cup of coffee here and there!!

Varieties of teas and coffees, when I’m in the store I feel like I’m in a museum, really nice place. My favorite coffee is French Saigon; it smooth and strong.

They have a huge inventory of coffees which can be freshly ground specifically to your needs.A tea lover will find their wish come true with the large variety of loose and prepackaged selections.If you are a coffee or tea aficionado this is your must visit" destination.Warm and friendly service makes it special. A family owned business that has been here for generations."

Very nice little shop, always buy my teas here. They have everything you need to have a nice brew, several selections of fruit, black, green, earl grey, vanilla, rooibos teas and everything for teas. They have good selection of coffee too including the green coffee.

I am always astounded at the delivery service, super fast and totally worth it. This comes first but the coffee is always so fresh and great variety. Love it!!

Thank you very much for the special order of Tealish tea. My family really enjoys this brand of tea.

I've tried over a dozen different teas from this place now, and one thing has remained consistent. Its always good tea. A little more pricey then tea bags at the superstore but its 100% worth it. My favorite ones are the Ontario ice wine, dragon pearl green tea, earl grey tea, and they have also have a nice selection of Oolong teas.

The most incredible selection of teas. We go to Saskatoon once a year (all the way from northern Alberta) and this is a must-stop, and get about 2 lbs of different teas to last us til our next trip. The atmosphere is so unique - the decor and light makes it feel like I'm walking into some kind of fantasy trading post. The teas are absolutely incredible, and the staff are really kind and always have a suggestion if you're stuck on which tea to get. My suggestion is the Cream Earl Grey Roobios - I've tried most of their teas at this point, but this is absolutely my favourite.
