Sawadee Tea House, on Granville Parade in Halifax, is a tea shop like no other. The ultra modern, sterile assembly line you might find in other shops is happily nowhere to be seen at Sawadee. Walking through the door, you are met with an array of displays, enticing you further – walls of tea pots, cups, mugs and such stretch out before your left. A water display in front of you lends a wonderful ambiance to the room. You can turn right to a wall, floor to ceiling with, I am sure, hundreds of teas.
The friendliness of the owner wraps all this into an oasis in the heart of the City. You have a migraine, there is a tea for that. Digestive issues; a tea for that. Sleeplessness – again, a tea for that... I think you get the idea. You can even get your teas custom blended for your preferences.
The tea quality is second to none, as is Mei Mei’s knowledge. I’m sure she could tell you which side of which mountain which tea was grown, and if pushed, I imagine she could even tell you the day it was picked… maybe….
But more than teas, Sawadee is full of baubles and jewels. Handcrafted jewelry, semi precious stones, beads and scarves, carvings, incense … the list goes on.
If you’ve never been there, you need to add this to your list of places to visit in Halifax. If you have been there, then, like me, you know it is an amazing place you will return to again and again.
Sawadee Tea House - a fabulous place to find teas from around the world; herbals; tea ware; and give items to delight!! Even sit with a tea and treat. I love the chai lattes! Traditional. Mie Mie's Thai traditional art work are worth a visit alone. You won't be disappointed in stopping by. Buy the perfect gift for everyone on your shopping list.
It was an interesting shop, with friendly and knowledgeable customer service. The owner is an herbalist, botanist, and Ayurvedic practitioner. Great tea, blended on the spot for me. Worth a visit.
