A nice, cosy place, quiet so you can have a normal conversation. They have a large collection of tea, but specialize in fusions. Helas, they store the tea in glass bottles instead of tin cans so the tea will lose it's quality over time. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

I've shopped at a lot of tea stores and when I am in Ottawa, I always stop and the Tea Store.

They have a wide selection of teas that you can choose from. Just pull a jar down, take a whiff of the tea, and if you like it, they will package it for you. They sell their tea in 50g or 100g increments. Overall, this place is reasonably priced and they have great tea blends for every palette.
