I recently started working at a Rare Tea bar in the Kitsilano Vancouver BC.  As I have had a passion for tea for many years this was a perfect way for me to get my kicks and make a little cash along the way.   I remember wanting to open a tea house about 10 years ago.  As O5 Tea is still ahead of its time in the west I guess I must have been way too ahead of the curve.

It’s great to work somewhere that you get to learn more about what you’re  passionate about.

Pedro Villalon the managing partner is a passionate tea drinker.  Personally searching searching out each farmer.  Rare micro farmed tea!  

BAM!  

Anyways I threw this video together of Noriko making some of our in house fresh ground matcha.  Check it!
