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.
What a wonderful tea boutique! An excellent selection of loose teas and the service really adds a nice touch. The owner, Mei Mei is very kind and helpful when explaining various types of teas. If you are looking for high quality teas with superb service, Sawadee is the place to go! Highly reccommended.
I've always had excellant service here. I found the staff, particularly the owner, to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She was absolutely amazing with helping me. I've gone a couple times and love the tranquil peaceful atmosphere where I can sit and drink a cup of tea. It's definitely a hidden gem.
Just dropped by for some bubble tea there today. I love the smell of incense and their calming music. They have a huge variety of loose leaf tea that will really amaze you.
What a great tea shop! I was there on vacation with my girlfriend and we stumbled upon this place while walking Halifax. Along with some really cool nik nacs, there is a great selection of teas and tea kits. We went on a Wednesday and they were offering tarot card readings. I don’t know much about them, but my girlfriend said the reading (apparently at a really good price) was awesome and performed by knowledgeable and professional staff.
Thank you so much for being so kind and welcoming!
Best tea house in all of Halifax!

A true hidden gem in Halifax. I have lived in Halifax for 13 years now and surprising just discovered this amazing tea house for the first time when I was searching for a special tea blend. They were the only spot in town that had all the ingredients needed to make this tea. Mimi the owner is very knowledgeable about teas and brings her tea passion to life in this store. If you live in Halifax or just visit, you need to stop by and have a tea at this stop. You will find yourself taking a bag with you home.
Amazing experience!! Lady at the front was pleasant to talk to. Great tea selection, good ambiance,zen vibe and great artwork displayed inside. Lady at the front was pleasant to talk to. I will definitely come back again.
Cosy ethnic atmosphere, wide selection of teas for enthusiasts (just tell them what you like/don't like and the staff make suggestions as there's no list). Got my tarot cards read here by Adriana, and she was extremely spot on.
I love this place so much, there are so many nice teas to try and everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful! I wish I would have gone more often when I was a student in the same building but now I come back every chance I get!
One of my favourite places in Halifax. The shop owner is very kind curtious, and very helpful.
