Visit Us
Our serene tasting room and retail space is located in Mount Pleasant of Vancouver.
It is an intimate space where we share our small collection of rare teas and ceramics that we personally sourced from small growers, artisans and foragers in the pristine and remote tea regions across China.
Our mission for this tasting room is to create a space where we can share with you the remarkable stories, history and craftsmanship of the teas that have captivated us, and the ancient techniques that has been passed along for generations, to this day.
