Enjoy a tea education and tea tasting of the tea leaf camelia sinensis. Learn how one leaf can produce everything from white tea to green tea to black tea to oolong tea to puerh tea. There are no additives, this is just the tea plant. There will be an opportunity at the end to buy tea as a gift or for yourself.


Food Allergy Notice - Please note that tea being sampled contains caffeine.


Katherine Maxwell, has always had an interest in the healing power of tea and realized that a lot of younger people, including her stepdaughter, were passionate about it. Seeing that passion and the fact there was nowhere to find good, ethically sourced, loose leaf tea and herbals in the Collingwood area, she took the leap 7 years ago, leaving a corporate career to open Blue Mountain Tea Company.   

Now in their 7th year of business, Blue Mountain Tea Company is a loose leaf tea emporium inspired by the desire to bring joy and wellness to the community, one cup at a time. They carry a wide variety of organics, herbals, single estate, fermented and blended teas to soothe, heal and inspire you as well as a lovely selection of tea ware. They also have a full website and are working hard to replicate the in-store experience.  You’ll soon be able to seek out your favourites and discover new blends with their  “tea oracle” quiz.

Visit the Blue Mountain Tea Company at 167 Hurontario Street or online at https://bluemountainteaco.com on or @bluemountainteaco
