It's been a very long time I haven't seen such a large proper tea tasting room with single infusion sets (since camelia sinensis st-denis actually). A place like this must be protected at all costs!
While the decor still need some love (start by improving the lighting!), there an awesome looseleaf selection, great warm service. I can't wait to go back to try more teas!
Naturally, we started with their rich, velvety matcha. Smooth, vibrant, & perfectly balanced, it's a lovely showcase of the quality they're working with. We also tried the hojicha, which was equally impressive, bringing its warm roasted flavor & cozy, nutty notes to the party.
They have an impressive lineup of matcha & hojicha-flavored treats that make resisting absolutely futile. (We tried. Briefly.)
Beyond the drinks & sweets, the space itself is a gem. They offer beautiful tea accessories for sale, adorable tables you can reserve for 4-6 people for a proper tea time, & even host workshops on weekends for anyone looking to deepen their tea appreciation.
The atmosphere is calm, relaxed, & inviting-the perfect place to sip, chat, & perhaps spill a little tea (both figuratively & literally) with friends. From the extensive tea menu to the delicious lattes & desserts, everything felt genuinely delightful.
Safe to say, we'll be back soon-partly for research purposes, & partly because we're already thinking about that matcha again.
Had a wonderful Valentine's Day experience here. The matcha lava cake, the hojicha latte, the matcha afogato, the mochi & the dragon & Phoenix tea were exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Shoutout to the staff that is so wonderful & kind ☺?
Great cafe with great plant-based ice cream options & a unique selection of teas. The cherry on top are their irresistible Mochi. They have many other sweet treats as well. Worth the visit
Awesome tea ceremony!!! It's a good cultural experience & if u love tea... then try it... if you don't like tea... don't bother... this is all about the tea!!!
Long time customer of Thé Guru on Beaubien here, I went to try their 5 à 7 tea tasting this week. They gave us a broad range of tea flavors from the same tea family, with quite different flavors to compare. The girl in charge of the tasting was very knowledgeable, relaxed, & friendly, & Maître Han Le was also there to give up more detailed information about the teas. The ambiance is very relaxed & easy going, a lovely way to spend a friday evening.
