Think you know tea? Maybe. But we bet youve never experienced it like
this.
Imagine a wine bar, replace the wine with tea, and thats exactly what
youll find at O5 Tea,
Vancouvers new Mecca for tea enthusiasts. While sitting under
Molo-designed paper lanterns, we opted for a tasting flight of three
rare teas ($17). To open up the palate we began with Balkyocha Noeul, a
chocolate-y oolong from South Korea, and then proceeded to the grassy
Long Jing green tea from the Zhejiang province of China, and finally
finished off with Ghorka Estate, a Nepalese tea with notes of pumpkin,
apple and clove, ideal for the holiday season. We snacked on Gang Jung
($7), Korean Imperial sweets made in-house with a healthy dose of fruits
and nuts.
Truly an afternoon delight. Anya Georgijevic
