The OG Thai Tea brand Cha Tra Mue has opened a tea shop in Vancouver! If you are a fan of Thai milk tea, you would recognize this brand from packages or tins of tea mix you can get at grocery stores. This Broadway location is the first one in Vancouver and I was among the first to check out the store.
High tea these days is so expensive! Most places are now charging at least $50 per person, and that's considered "affordable." So when my friend CC told me about this $70 tea set at Tsujiri, I naturally assumed it's $70 per person. But no, it's $70 for two!! Can it be too good to be true?!
Tea lovers can find Walini Tea, a household Indonesian tea brand since 1998, online or at 500 Loblaw locations across Canada.
This year, Mid Autumn Festival lands on September 21, 2021. If you are interested in making your own mooncakes, check out Mama Lam's recipe for Baked Chinese Mooncake with Salted Egg Yolk Custard Filling that I shared last year. Otherwise, if you are looking to support local businesses and buy some at a store, here are some ideas for you.
As we continue to hunker down with no dining-in service available this year, it looks like Mama Lam and I are going for another afternoon to-go at home this year. If you are looking for something similar with your mom, here is a round-up of to-go afternoon tea available in Greater Vancouver. Pre-order is required but deadline is different for each place. Delivery may also be available.
