I really like this shop. I have been going here for years and the lady (who I assume to be the owner) is extremely helpful. She knows her stuff. Amazing selection of teas, including some interesting choices like Chili Pepper Roiboos. Creamy Earl Grey, Spicy Chai and the Genmaicha are fantastic. I believe she has loyalty cards as well!

Best shop in Vancouver for loose tea blends. Select a tea, have a seat at the bistro tables, and Sabrina, proprietor and tea specialist, will brew your tea to perfection, milk or honey on the side. Favourite blend: Cream Earl Grey - since 2004, have not bought tea anywhere else. Life is too short to drink lesser quality tea, when fine tea brings so much delight. Bayswater Tea has an eclectic... more

Quaint shop whose charming, knowledgeable, and riotously funny proprietress is its best feature. Great selection of teas, and she knows fascinating obscure facts about each one. The only downside is that I've found it impossible to find my favorites in the US, which means I'll probably have to make a trip soon.

My girlfriend and I also loved the large variety of Dunoon bone china mugs, cups,... more

What a fantastic tea store! Knowledgeable staff, helpful information, and glorious selection! I'm enjoying the teas I bought, so much. It's a pleasure to visit here any time.

If you love tea you've come to the right place. Tons of flavours to choose from. Try them in house.

Excellent tea selection and good pricing.

Amazing selection of great teas, and very knowledgeable staff.

I've known this shop ever since it first opened, when it was right near the 7-11. The owner has also known me and recognized me when I walked in this time, even though it's been years since she's seen me.

The store has grown in its offerings but at its heart is a large array of beautiful loose teas - Earl greys, rooibos, green teas, fruit and Chinese teas being among those it offers to a large... more

I am not a tea snob - nor a snob in any facet of life - yet I really do prefer loose tea to bagged tea. I know for a fact that the best tea is reserved for loose leaf export, and I find that there is a great deal more variety when comparing loose with bags. Bayswater Tea Company definitely delivers on the variety front with close to 200 blacks, greens, fruits, and oolongs to choose from. Having... more

Largest selection of international teas I have found in Vancouver. Sabrina, the owner, is a delight to do business with. While you're there, try her tea infused chocolates. Delicious.

Honestly, i love this place.

I'm a huge fan of chai and i make my own blends - i usually do my west broadway spice run at dan-d market on broadway and macdonald, then head over to bayswater tea co for my tea leaves.

I love it there. The staff are always so friendly and knowledgeable, and don't try to oversell me - i don't need the high-end assam tea leaves as i'm just going to be covering it... more

The few times I've been in here were okay, but I've always felt rushed and goaded to buy a lot here. I've actually bought very little and never the same tea twice because none of them were what I was looking for.
The staff doesn't seem to know much about the teas and when I put my questions straight to the owner, she answered with rhetoric. That made me think the quality of the teas didn't... more

My tea dealer in Vancouver!

Pretttttty Pretttty Prettty good in my best Larry David voice.

It is always so quiet in here. Kinda like a nice smelling library.
I am hooked on their Floral twist earl grey, and the Creamy EG is our house standard.
Bought a couple varieties of their fruit teas to make iced teas with yesterday. I will report back when the sun comes out!

Wish there was a more... more

I think this place is a great place to pick up loose leaf tea, say, if you're going to be ambitious and make that batch of Royal Earl Grey Tea Cookies to impress your friends. Or that tea-infused Vodka in about 5 different tea flavors because you're an alcoholic... I mean... trendy connoisseur! :)

My two favorites right now are Rosegarden and Divine Temptation.

I like my tea, therefore, I tend to be over critical when it comes to tea selection. I have to disagree with a few reviews that this is the best tea selection ever 'cause at the top of my hat and if you read my reviews, there are others that surpass this claim. They had some selection, however, nothing that I wouldn't find elsewhere to be honest. They're more of a tea accessory store than a... more

Best tea place, EVER.

Huge selection.

Super-duper fabulous flavours. My favourites: Blueberry Yogurt, Creme Brulee, Dark Chocolate, Kaleidoscope, and Divine Temptation. Each tea comes with a sticky-label with steeping instructions.

Nice tea shop with a great selection. The staff is knowledgeable and mostly friendly and attentive (at least when their friends are not in the store visiting). I am a huge fan of the honeybush varieties and the coconut flavoured black tea.

You NEED to try Bayswater Tea Company.

I live and work in the area, and have recently been trying to wean myself off of my daily coffee(s), and so I stopped in to the Bayswater Tea Co. one afternoon. That was three weeks ago and I have not had any other tea since. The staff is so so knowledgeable--I am constantly impressed with everything that they can tell you about their teas, and how they... more

Walking into Bayswater Tea Company is just as soothing as sitting down to an afternoon pot of tea. The light is soft, staff pleasant, and variations of tea endless.

An entire wall of the store is stacked with small-ish containers of normal and strange concoctions. Two-hundred types of tea there are in all, from nettles right through to boysenberry. The store sells tea supplies, like pots and... more
