    You can fill these tea bags with your loose leaf tea
    Rachel B.

    Love this store for tea. I was looking for a particular tea--Ontario Ice Wine which I tried during Afternoon Tea at The Fairview Restaurant at Chateau Lake Louise. Surprisingly they carried it. The sales person brewed me a large cup so I can try it here. The selection is wide and the varieties of teas are very unique. The salesperson measured the loose leaves into a package and I was able to customize how much I wanted to buy. I took home 94g for about $25. They have interesting tea accessories too and I took home fillable compostable teabags for my loose leaf tea.

    Banff Tea Company is a cute little shop located in downtown Banff. A must place to go if you love tea and or looking for souvenirs! Their store is full of aesthetically pleasing and organized rows and shelves of specialty teas. From green teas, black teas, spice, oolong, health and etc, they got you covered. Their teas are specialized and carefully blended together at a reasonable price point ($6.00-$10.00 for a 50 gram bag). I ended up getting: - "Knock Yourself Out" = Their #1 selling tea and is known to put you to sleep. Although I don't get the sleepy effects, it's a perfect cup of tea to whine down the day with. - "Plain of Six Glaciers" = Specialized for the area and only other place it is sold is at the tea house at Lake Louise. - "Cream of Earl Grey" = Provides a slight creamy taste to a classic earl grey. - "Rocky Mountain Christmas" = Smells like Christmas in a cup. They also brew a different tea in store every day to provide everyone a sample to sip on while shopping around. Cannot wait to return next time I'm in Banff!

    If you're looking for one memento to take home from your time in Banff, skip the moose toys and plaid onesies and head to the Banff Tea Company. They offer an extraordinary variety of teas at very reasonable prices (generally between $7-$8 for a 50 gram bag), and make a light, easily-packable treat from your time in the Rockies. Many of their teas are loose, though they do offer some bagged varieties. A lot of them have a unique regional connection, such as the Plain of Six Glaciers variety, which is also sold at the Plain of Six Glaciers tea house at Lake Louise. One unusual flavor that I'm really digging on right now is the Nutcracker--a marzipan inspired rooibus tea that is Christmasy and delicious. They also sell all manner of tea towels and tea pots, and other paraphernalia. I've always had pleasant exchanges with the staff. They brew up a particular flavor for the day that you can sample while you browse. The shop is a bit a cozy and tiny, and might prove a challenge to navigate at high traffic times, but don't be deterred--this place is a find.

They even took the time to get me gluten-free bread to eat with the beat hummus since I couldn't eat whatever bread that is served with it For me, it's important that since they already have gluten-free products that they could just substitute it that way so I could enjoy my meal and not get sick I found them to be exceptionally accommodating for me Everything was delicious I like the fire pit outside good place to wait for your table to open I like that they take your cell phone number and you can walk around and they'll text you when your table is ready so this way you don't feel like you're wasting any time My nephew got the duck that was delicious my sister got the steak sirloin. It was also delicious and had little tiny mini salt crystals on it which gave it a lot of flavor. My only slight disappointment was the choice of background music. It had too much of a 12345678 up beat to it. When they play music with this kind of a tempo, you can definitely see all of the waiters and waitresses walking to the beat of the music, but I think it also rushes people in eating and digestion. It makes people hurry up because you could literally see people chewing to the beat of the music I don't even know if the Restaurant realizes the psychology behind the choice of music But overall, I enjoyed everything I came there to eat and everything tasted good for me. I just would've had a different choice to music preference

We ordered to share: Bison carpaccio: 8/10, the large pieces of black salt(?) was overwhelming the bison, but otherwise very unique and worth trying Burrata salad: 100/10, super refreshing and unique palate of thinly ribboned squash covered with tarragon vinaigrette and burrata. Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!

The assistant manager/host was so awesome and attentive. My mom struggles with GI issues and is intolerant to a lot of things -- he did his best to communicate with the chef and our server to create a dish that would be more akin to what my mom could eat. I got the beef & bison meatballs and a side of cornbread. As well as an unleaded espresso martini. Delish! Interior is swanky and dim, but has great big windows that give a lovely view of downtown Banff.

    I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

By the time we were ready, it took a while to find someone to take our order. The most wanted item is sold out, a fact that they told us upon ordering. Will be appreciated if we know ahead of time so we have more time to consider 'back up item'. There was a table beside us (came after us) who also discussed about ordering same sold-out items, and I was very tempted to tell them that it's sold out. But I figure it's not my place to say because the restaurant must have its own reason for NOT telling this upfront!!?????!! Ordered pork belly skewer , shiitake skewer, shrimp in spicy peanut sauce, and aburi salmon handroll, miso creme brulee. Best items are the shrimp with spicy peanut sauce, and miso creme brulee. Just wow!! For the rest: -If u have eaten shiitake before (at home for example) , u know nothing can go wrong with shiitake as it's already flavorful in its own (safe choice). -Pork belly has good flavor but kinda too fatty (it is a totally different style from the one I usually eat at other places). -Aburi salmon handroll doesnt taste like aburi at all. Just normal handroll basically. Nth special. It was my friend's birthday, we asked if they hv noodle (considering we were farrr from home) and they said it's only available during lunch (which is understandable), but then nth else was done to help celebrate this moment when they hear this fact (simple smile or simple 'happy birthday' could be a gift in its own). Overall, food-wise, we agree on best item and that this place is kinda meh (in terms of food selection and feels like very few 'flavor-worthed' ones).
