Camellia Sinensis (Tea Room) Edit

Made a point of coming to the main location while on a 4 day vacation in Montreal. Bought some loose Pu erhs to bring home then sat in the tea-room for a break from the day. Beautiful space, just a world apart from the city even through you are right there in the center of it. I had the 2008 Menghai in a beautiful Purion teapot, which I poured over 10 times and drank for 90 minutes. Partner had their Matcha, which in all honesty, was the best Matcha I’ve ever had. Not a single note of grass, just, smoooooooooth. Will be coming here every time I’m in the city for a breather and some amazing tea.

Best place in Montreal!

Serene atmosphere, knowledgeable employees. Tea lovers rejoice…..the best place in Montreal is located in the heart of the Quartier Latin. Nice little pastries as well. Very grounded/earthy décor. Cell phones are discouraged. Perfection!

Best place in Montreal !!

For those familiar with tea houses, here you will find friendly servers, wonderful atmosphere, and a great selection of teas.

General tips for those who are new to tea houses! Don’t expect food. Note that the servers take the preservation of the atmosphere verrry seriously. And don’t be afraid to experiment!

Very beautifull and quiet place to take the tea. It is my favorite place !

Camellia Sinenis is my favorite teahouse/teashop. The atmosphere is peaceful and subdued, but never pretentious; the servers are friendly and knowledgeable; and most importantly, the teas are top notch. From standard green and black varieties to rare aged puerhs and oolongs, Camellia Sinensis is a must-try, whether you’re new to tea or a connoisseur .
