Thés Guru Teas

5.0

Thé Guru is a standout tea house that feels both intimate & thoughtfully curated. The tea selection is the real strength here: matcha prepared with care, alongside a wide range of pu-erh, green teas, & oolongs that appeal to both casual drinkers & serious tea enthusiasts. Quality & technique are clearly priorities.

The food offering is small but well chosen. Brownies & matcha ice cream complement the tea menu nicely without trying to turn the place into a full café. Everything feels intentional & well executed.

The décor deserves special mention: calm, stylish, & inviting, making it an ideal spot to slow down, focus on the tea, or have a quiet conversation. Overall, Thé Guru is a refined, delicious, & genuinely enjoyable place for anyone who appreciates good tea in a thoughtfully designed space.

Have only used this spot to purchase loose-leaf. High quality leaves, good variety of tea types, ages, regions. Biggest gripe is they don't include much in terms of details around cultivars, elevation, harvest season, etc. on their website or packaging for a lot of their stuff (which really isn't that big a deal at the end of the day).

Service is good. The tea is just okay. Not as strong as we expected from the tea guru

Fantastic products, amazing quality service & very kind explanations around everything they do. If you need a place to get you to love tea go here. So much variation but no lack in quality.

I would definitely come back.

Thés Guru is a lovely store that carries an exceptional collection of high quality teas. The tea master is incredibly knowledgeable & offers expert advice to clients. The tea accessories are carefully selected & are very beautiful to purchase.
All that said, however, I think the concept is missing a very vital aspect of tea which is: hospitality. The staff & servers are quite abrupt, occasionally rude, inattentive to clients, are often found in the back & it takes them a long time to recognize there are customers & come to the front to serve them. They do not have the expertise to make a proper tea or a matcha latte, as every time the drinks & tea taste different (no consistency whatsoever). They often seem unhappy & greet customers with frowns & tired expressions that makes one question whether they are being paid or treated properly at their job. Moreover, they are always rushing customers to leave at least 30 minutes before closing time. In short, you do not feel welcomed, which goes against tea culture. They certainly do not promote their products nor the culture of tea. I have been to Thés Guru repeatedly but have always been disappointed by the service. I think it really needs improvement & the owner must really decide whether their concept is just to sell tea or to promote a tea culture for people to enjoy & experience. I think focusing on the latter would set them apart from other tea rooms in the city & can really elevate their business. Best of luck & hope to see improvements.

I'm a tea drinker visiting Montreal. Always a challenge to find good quality tea. SUPER SUCCESS here on 2 visits. Excellent variety & quality, lovely servers. I only had a small sweet treat, which was also nice.

Awesome vibe in this place. The tea sets make it feel magical. Had the creme de Taiwan slushee. Would love to come here for proper matcha when it is coolernoutside.
