A hidden gem in downtown Toronto! Tao Tea Leaf will probably go unnoticed by many, until you take the brilliant decision to enter - you will be amazed by their collection of chinese teapots (for sale, control your wallet!) and delicious teas.
Make sure to HAVE A TEA THERE. It's like a ceremony, no other tea house in this city has ever served me like them. They will explain every single detail about each tea and serve you like you were the one and only customer they have. I've tried a premium green tea, and bought the acclaimed Milk Oolong (100g, will last forever) - a must have for fall/winter season, especially if you like lattes.
I'd like to be able to buy the tea in cans, instead of bags, and to have more seating in the tea shop - as the way they serve tea is their differential. It's a beautiful, amazing place and I can't wait to come back!
