A place just for tea drinkers. I know the coffee snobs have been getting a lot of attention recently with all these new brewing techniques, so it is nice to see a place dedicated just to tea. You can't even get a cup of coffee here!
I love the friendly ambiance here. The owner is very pleasant and chatty and I just get a good vibe when I pop in. Usually I come here splattered with mud and a bit grubby looking from being out in the field, but they never treat me any different because of it. They have a daily special tea latte going, which I partake in while I look for interesting tea blends to bring home and gift to friends. The proprietor is very knowledgeable about tea, and a few months ago I learned about pu'erh teas and fermented teas from him. There is a huge variety of blends and pure teas and everything in between.
The latte I had yesterday was green tea and jasmine. Every sip I took on my way home I kept exclaiming, "Oooh! Damn, that's good!" It was floral and smooth and just perfect. I must have looked like a lunatic to the other drivers as I frequently talked to my travel mug of tea.
You might not notice this place unless you are looking for it. If you are a tea fan, I suggest you come here. Fort Langley is such a lovely place to visit, you might as well make a day of it. read more
