Last Saturday, Aug 25th, Kim Fraser, the owner of Loose Leaf Tearoom opened her doors to the public with Vancouver's first teapresso sitting on the counter. Loose Leaf Tearoom is a great little store where tea quality and hand crafted tea based beverages are the prime focus. When you walk through the door, the beautiful scent of the fresh, premium loose leaf teas piques your senses and stimulates your palate.
Kim came up to Chai Baba in Kelowna to see the Teapresso in operation and after watching Tina and I make an amazing array of drinks for customers in short order decided that this was a unit that she could not be without.
Like Chai Baba, Kim's beverage program will be unique, high quality and unlike anything that any tea sipper has ever tasted. With Kim's enthusiasm and love of tea, she will definitely create a tea menu that will be second to none in the Vancouver market.
This is the third Teapresso in Canada. Interest in the machine is increasing world wide as I get requests for information on the unit from all parts of the globe. Once a customer has tasted a beverage produced from the Teapresso, all other tea based concoctions will pale in comparason.
So, if you have time, please check out Loose Leaf Tearoom at 3648 West Broadway in Vancouver and try a drink from Kim's new Teapresso!
Come out and help support a fellow loose tea enthusiast.
regards,
Brendan

I had a rooibos latté here yesterday.. .it was DELICIOUS!!!
I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed your store on Broadway yesterday.
The employee allowed me to smell and taste whatever my heart desired, which landed finally on Yerba Mate Lemongrass and Coconut Kiss blends. Plus I tried a Berries Galore tea shot... Tasted great! Almost like something you'd experience at Booster Juice; what other types would you recommend?
Given that I make the rounds fairly regularly to many of Greater Vancouver's tea spots, I can certainly say that your store, while small, does provide some of the best service and tastes of the many (upwards of 7) other stores I have found.
Also tried the Matcha Latte, though there wasn't any skim milk so I couldn't properly compare it to others I've tried. Tasty nonetheless.
I do hope the store does well and that many others find it in the craziness of Vancouver shopping; it looks like it's off to a good start.
Loose Leaf has closed.. sniff. I noticed the papered up windows and note on the window this weekend.
