Is there a better gift than tea? It's practical, it's inoffensive, and can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone. From your most unfamiliar coworkers to your own mother (or in-law that you don't know how to buy gifts for), tea works in all scenarios.
Indeed, I am writing this review after buying a bunch of Momo Tea for Mother's Day. And if you're still looking for a your own gift, here's a few reasons why you should consider getting something from them too.
1) Specially curated teas from Japan - Momo is not just a store name, it's a person! She's Japanese, trained in the art of tea ceremony, and is even a certified tea sommelier™ (yes, it's a thing!) She uses Momo Tea to bring imported loose leaf teas, powders, and tea appliances to Canada and we are all the more grateful for it. She even has detailed instructions on optimal brewing methods for each type of tea on her website.
2) Super easy online ordering and it's local - Momo Tea is located in Toronto, though they ship across Canada and US. Several stores in the city also stock up on Momo products.
3) Perfect gift sets with other local vendors - Tea by itself is already the perfect gift, but if you're looking for something a little fancier, Momo Tea sometimes pairs up with some of our favourite local vendors to offer gift sets. Tea and flowers for Mother's Day?
I've tried the Hojicha and Yuzu Sencha. Both super aromatic, high-quality teas. As an avid tea drinker, these decaffeinated teas help me get my fix at night without keeping me up. If you're looking for something with a bit more caffeine, or you're just fascinated with the ceremonial aspects of it, check out their various Matcha powders and accompanying tea tools. Honestly, Momo Tea can't go wrong. Treat others, or treat yourself (we all know you deserve it after this year), with a cup of pure relaxation. read more
