The house
Aroma Tea House is a family-run shop whose roots go back to 1955 in Hong Kong. In 2001 the family brought that heritage to Marpole, and the shop has been at 8059 Granville Street since, with tea education as part of the job. The service is personal: in-shop tastings, recommendations fitted to each customer, and explanations of what is in the cup. The shop is open six days a week, and on Sundays and public holidays it opens by appointment.
The range covers over 200 teas: white, green, black, oolong, pu-erh, Taiwanese high mountain teas and Japanese matcha. The Chinese classics come in a ladder of sizes, often 50, 100, 225 and 500 g and a kilo, so the Keemun from Qimen in Anhui, the West Lake Dragon Well from Hangzhou, the sun-dried White Peony from Fujian and a loose Yunnan pu-erh can be bought for a week or for a year. A Taiwanese Jade Oolong and an organic Mao Feng, with an 8 g sample, round it out.
Teaware takes up a good part of the shop: gaiwans, Yixing teapots, glass and porcelain sets, tea pets and accessories for gongfu and everyday brewing, all packaged with gifting in mind. The shop's site lists tea appreciation workshops and a tea club, and the business also sells wholesale, including Japanese matcha stocked locally in large quantities and tea powders such as hojicha, Earl Grey, jasmine and roasted oolong for drinks and baking.

The one worth the trip
