The original location of Great Wall Tea Co. is located in New Westminster. I like this one in Lougheed Mall better though. Parking is free here.
Service was very good and I have always enjoyed the teas from this place. These are high quality teas. They sell some tea accessories too; however, their selection is a bit limited compared with other specialty tea shops that I've been to. For example, I was looking at some of their tea strainers and it seemed like they only had strainers that were designed to be used with individual teacups whereas I was really hoping to find one that could be used with a teapot rather than a teacup. I ended up buying a tea strainer elsewhere since I couldn't find the kind I was looking for at this shop. What I did end up buying from here was a bag of Provence Rooibos tea leaves and a starter kit of tea filters.
While selection of tea and accessories is a bit limited, what they do sell is of high quality and reasonably priced as well. Easily one of my favorite places to shop for tea, even with the limited selection. read more
