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

I made these baby monkey macarons for the 100 day celebration for BFF’s baby girl. She was born at the latter part of last year and she recently turned 3 months old. As Ivanka Trump would say, “Happy Birthday” to her. i In Chinese, Korean and Japanese culture, the 100 day marker is an important one […]

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 […]

  I’m super excited about this post! It’s the first time that I am posting a #MacaronArt recipe that comes with an accompanying video and template! Hopefully, it will provide you with a comprehensive look into the makings of macaron art. This is perhaps the longest time I’ve spent on a post. It took about two and a half […]

Okay, you probably think that wardrobe obsessing is an all too common issue for all women attending any event. This Tipsy Tea event was a totally different beast because […]
