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

My bear macarons were invited to be part of the Panda fun at the first birthday party for MurDeFleur’s little princess. It was a fabulous purple, black and white panda themed party styled by ChicFete. It offered me a perfect opportunity to try out some of the new supplies I bought while in Chicago. Disco Dust was an item which was particularly hard […]

Canada 150 On Canada’s 150th birthday today, I’d like to pay a little tribute to this country which I’m lucky to call my home. (Read about my Canada150 Afternoon Tea experience here.)  I know you’re probably thinking why I didn’t post an accompanying photo of a maple leaf or other well-known images symbolic to the […]

I’m always excited every year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. When can you really see such an abundance of PINK in nature? Walking underneath clouds of pink fluffy blossoms is just the most magical feeling. I remember the first time I arrived in Japan as a high school exchange student, the blossoms […]
