Avis pour Ming Tao Xuan
They don't serve tea. There is no place to sit & the staff doesn't appear to know what do to with non-Chinese entering the store. It's a cute 2 minutes wonder but you don't feel like you're wanted there.
Very friendly staff, gave good recommendations. Nice looking store.
Amazing tea selection, just sad they aren't offering tea service since covid. Call beforehand, as we were sad to see the store closed for the day (december 21) although it was marked as opened on Google. The service is impeccable with very knowledgeable staff. Best selection of oolong & pu-her in Montreal.
This place looks fantastic & I was really looking forward to it. I Walked 20 minutes in the cold Sunday at 3 pm & it's closed, contrary to hours listed online with no way to contact them. Please clear up your opening hours. It's unacceptable & frustrating.
Visiting Ming Tao Xuan for the first time was a delightful experience that left me feeling both relaxed & inspired. Nestled in the heart of Old Port Montréal, this charming tea house offers a serene escape from the bustling streets outside. The ambiance was warm & inviting, with an interior that exudes traditional Chinese elegance. Shelves lined with clay pots & jars of loose-leaf tea added an authentic touch, while the soft lighting & gentle background music created a tranquil atmosphere perfect for savoring tea. The service was impeccable. The staff greeted me warmly & patiently guided me through their extensive tea collection, answering my questions with expertise & enthusiasm. Their genuine passion for tea was evident, & they took the time to explain the origins & nuances of different varieties, making the experience educational as well as enjoyable. I decided to purchase 100g of Jasmine Yin Zhen, a premium white tea infused with the delicate aroma of jasmine flowers. The tea's subtle fragrance & smooth flavor were captivating, & I was impressed by the quality. The staff even offered tips on how to brew it properly to bring out its best characteristics. Overall, my visit to Ming Tao Xuan was a sensory delight, combining a relaxing ambiance, exceptional service, & a remarkable selection of fine teas. I can't wait to return to explore more of their offerings & perhaps expand my tea collection with one of their exquisite clay pots.
Our favorite tea store in Montreal! Always stopping by when we are in town. Great quality teas & tea sets. It's sad that they stopped serving tea & food inside as it was such an amazing experience.
Please note that there is no food or tea service anymore. The place as some amazing tea sets to purchase.
The owners were very helpful with assisting me purchase my first ever authentic tea set. Thank you so much!
What a unique tea store! Loved the tea set collection they have & the quality of tea leaves they carry is outstanding! Will definitely be going back for more :)
Amazing people. They were so helpful. I loved their Red Rose tea & Osmanthus Flower tea. Amazing collections.Will come back again.
Amazing variety of loose leave teas & a great variety of tea-wares.

Timing the opening days & hours was a little difficult tho.
