The Chinese Tea Shop features a narrow, understated storefront tucked away along Pender Street, often marked by the scent of roasted oolong drifting onto the sidewalk. Daniel Lui opened this shop to teach locals about the nuanced craft of traditional tea brewing. He keeps his inventory in large, hand-labeled tins and insists on demonstrating how different water temperatures change the leaves. A single clay pot sits on his counter, stained dark by twenty years of daily use.
