Tea stores in Montreal

[doronin]

Just moved to Montreal... So much to discover yet

Could you recomend few good tea stores in Montreal?

I'm mostly into pure green teas from Japan and China, but like to taste others on occasion...

Thanks,

Dmitry

Camellia Sinensis

Don't even bother going anywhere else.

I absolutely second this recco. Went there for Earl Grey I needed for chocolate Crème brûlée and went back for many teas. If you go to Marché Jean-Talon, there's a shop right accross the street from Shamrock fish market.

Check out Ming Tao Xuan in Old Montreal. It's at 451, St-Sulpice, near the Notre-Dame Basilica.

Not so fast Ian.

There are a lot of other people out there working the tea beat and Camellia isn't necessarily for everyone (my boss went there recently and found it too serious), or nearby in all cases. This summer I found another nice tea shop on Laurier called Esprit de The at 112 Laurier W. Thay also have a new line of tea chocolates from Christophe Morel. Very nice.

You're absolutely right ... Esprit is a nice shop.

Interesting, the prices in Camellia are twice higher then in Ottawa's www.teastore.ca - is it reasonable?

what about L'Amour de Thes? I really enjoy shopping there, and their house blends are excellent.

there's a location on Monkland and one on Bernard.

If you're looking for teas from Marriage Freres (as I have been for the past 9 months since my Parisian supply ran out) you can now find them at La Maison d'Emilie on Laurier. They have a few flavors in tins and a few more in bulk.
