Perfection Through Tea

Mélissa was excellent. She handled the tour with grace and respect for every tea we sampled. Her personally knowing every tea shop owner made the experience that much more special; it meant everybody was excited to share their stories. The history of Montreal that Mélissa also shared was delightful, as it wouldn’t have been found easily as an individual touring the city. The crowd size was small and the atmosphere was relaxed. Although the tour was about 4-5 hours, none of it felt stressful beca...read more

Thank you so much for this thorough review and seeing the care and attention to detail that goes into the tour and just how special each stop, tea and person we meet along the way is. It was a real pleasure. This is a really unique tour with incursions into several microcosmos and so many different sides of tea. Thank you again.

Educational. Immersive. Cultured.

This is an awesome tour. I appreciate that it was a small group and the tour guides answered all my questions. The ladies really know their stuff! The venue choices were all so different and offered various perspectives on tea.

The tour was awesome. It mixes tea information with Montreal history information. We discovered new interesting places even though we're from near Montreal. We tasted a lot of different teas from around the globe. The Japenese boutique/tasting at the end of tour was the highlight for us. But most importantly Melissa and Shanti were great tour guides! Definitely recommend it for tea lovers and we'll certainly try other tours in the near future.

Thank you so much for coming out and for writing the review. I really appreciate it. Alot of care has gone into that tour. It's very niche, but a great experience and we want people to know! Thank you again. I hope to see you on other tours!

Active tour for tea lovers and curious beginners

Very informative tour incorporating the history of Montreal's varied areas and the history of tea. The tastings were delicious and highlighted the complexity of tea and some delicious food. We particularly loved the noodles! Melissa did a great job and we appreciated the walk along the less traveled, green streets and alleys observing lots of murals and street art.
