GREAT PLACE for Tea in the West Side?

[scoobydoo]

Anyone know a really good place for tea of all types on the west side of Vancouver?

Is Kerrisdale considered West Side?

Great place, the Creamy Earl Grey is awesome. The wife loves that place.

Yeah, Tearoom T is the name. Nice stuff too ... they tend to have more of an Asian focus ... whereas Secret Tea Garden is more "regular".

Asian Focus? Does that mean it's only asian clientele? Or only asian people would like it?!

Tearoom T has more Asian selection of black, green and herbal teas ... chrysanthemum, Chinese gunpowder (sp?) etc ... they also have lots of other kinds of teas, whereas Secret Tea Garden doesn't have as much Asian selection (last time I checked). Their tea service is Japanese Matcha ...

Secret Tea Garden has stuff like scones, finger sandwiches with cucumber etc ... more WASPish and more Kerrisdale-ish. High tea.

In any case, if you check their websites you will get a flavour of what they are all about.
