Afternoon Tea at Urban Tea Merchant Downtown Vancouver

screen-shot-2016-09-28-at-10-44-04-pm

NOTE: Urban Tea Merchant closed their doors for their tea service starting on September 1st, 2016. They now run pop up shops in Nordstroms and Holt Renfrew.

I came home just in time from Chicago last week to spend an afternoon with an East Coast IG pal (@pharmatypik) who happened to be in town. This was our first meeting so it was nice to put a face to the person whom I conversed a lot with online about food and travel. We had a nice in person chat at the Urban Tea Merchant in downtown Vancouver over afternoon tea. Being that we were looking for something different, we quickly settled on the West Coast Afternoon Tea Set which included the most seafood I’ve ever had during a tea service. It was beautiful and quite impressively laid out on a flat tray. Although I would have preferred a 3 tier tray (for photos), in retrospect, I found this display to be quite unique and I appreciate it that much more now that the Urban Tea Merchant has closed its doors for business. Because of that, I will not be doing a review for this particular experience. Enjoy the photos and if you need more afternoon tea ideas, check out my other afternoon tea reviews here.

XOXO,

Mimi

You all know I love afternoon tea.  I don’t think there’s any afternoon tea that I’m not willing to try and when it comes to tea at the Ritz, it doesn’t take any convincing for me. Prior to my trip to Hong Kong, bestie and I had been frantically and excitedly whats’apping each other about […]

After doing some travel planning for the Easter Long Weekend, we decided to stay in Canada instead of going through customs so we started focusing in on the Okanagan Valley for its beautiful landscape and uncomplicated attractions. In particular, it was the Penticton Lakeshore Resort and Casino which seemed to capture hubby’s attention. He found […]
