3066 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC<\/p>\n

Locally owned and conceived, Neverland Tea Salon will be opening its doors this coming Friday, September 20 2013. Another tea salon? Not quite. Neverland is unlike anything that has ever hit Vancouver. A bit like its co-owners Terri Tatchell and Renee Iaci, it refuses to conform to preconceptions of any kind. Let\u2019s just say the Murphy bed stage and tea infused cocktails are merely the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n

Driven by a multitude of diverse passions, a few personal frustrations and possibly a smidgen of insanity, Tatchell and Iaci set out eight months ago to fill a void in the Vancouver salon scene. What salon scene you may ask? Oh yes\u2026 the void was huge.<\/p>\n

Harkening back to the salons of 18th century Paris, Neverland\u2019s soul comes from a place of creativity, inspiration and gluttonous self-indulgence. With backgrounds in film (Tatchell is the Oscar nominated co-writer of District 9) and theatre (Iaci is an original founder of Shameless Hussy Productions), the two creators have literally built an environment, menu, team and beverage list traditional restaurateurs would deem impossibly excessive. You can\u2019t be the best at everything. They beg to differ.<\/p>\n

The Space
\nThe front of house is deemed \u201cThe Tea Bar\u201d and will carry 60 types of tea, pastries, breakfast fare, salads, and sandwiches and despite the name, some seriously good coffee. The Neverland Dining Room\u2019s piece de resistance will be the hand made high tea towers overflowing with deliciousness and served into the evening with tea infused cocktails. But their other menu items have been meticulously crafted as well. There is seating for eight outside and a white high counter inspired by \u201cDespicable Me 2\u201d. Now here is a real deviation from press release etiquette; the bathrooms are exceptional. You just need to see them.<\/p>\n

The Treasures
\nMost pieces are from the late 1800\u2019s early 1900\u2019s and every last piece was sourced on Craigslist. Not just that, but every piece comes with a story. Like the window removed from Christ Church Cathedral during a seismic upgrade, which sat in the contractor\u2019s basement for years until his daughter wanted to earn some money so he let her list some \u201cjunk\u201d on craigslist. His junk is now Neverland\u2019s treasure and separates the Tea Bar from the Neverland Dining Room. Or the seven-dozen teacups collected from thrift stores by Tatchell\u2019s 92-year-old grandmother and Iaci\u2019s 83-year-old granddad. Too much to list and a press release in itself.<\/p>\n

The Tea
\nIaci spearheaded the sourcing of sixty different teas, which will be sold under the Neverland label. \u201cThese teas have been chosen by taste and taste alone,\u201d says Iaci. \u201cI gathered teas from ten to twelve different sources ignoring cost, and we spent months doing cuppings. Harrod\u2019s English Breakfast had been Terri\u2019s favorite for years, and it took a while to beat it, but we did!\u201d Neverland\u2019s own blend \u2018Take Me To Neverland\u2019 is playfully scented with chocolate and mint, while their customized \u2018Celebration\u2019 is a blend of Darjeeling and jasmine.<\/p>\n

The Special Diets
\nTatchell\u2019s daughter Cassidy is unable to eat gluten or dairy and frustration over the lack of truly decadent options was a strong motivator in months of recipe development by Tatchell, who eventually admitted defeat and hired Neverland\u2019s executive chef Victoria Reichert. A bit of a pastry wunderkind, Reichert, formerly of Hawksworth and Wedgewood\u2019s Bacchus customized a complex blend of flours, which renders the gluten free items literally indistinguishable in taste and texture from the regular items. The idea is to have the growing number of kids and adults with dietary intolerances not just feel included, but honoured for their differences. Eggs, diary, gluten? They promise to wow you with indistinguishable variations of their high tea pastries, home comfort pasta, savory flatbreads and varied sharing platters.<\/p>\n

The Artists
\nStep just one foot through the door of Neverland, and there is little doubt that Artists drive the pulse. Not just the owners, but also the counter staff, the servers, the kitchen and bussers. It has to be more than a coincident that everyone has some serious artistic pursuits and talents on the side: writers, musicians, dancers, filmmakers and actors. Fingers crossed the liquor board approves the entertainment enhancement to Neverland\u2019s liquor license so the Wednesday night open mic\u2019s can get under way. In the meantime, there will be plenty of inspiration with the planned Artist Tea Talks, featuring the likes of self-publishing game changer, Amanda Hocking.<\/p>\n

The Business
\nFull of vision, energy and belief in what they were creating, Tatchell and Iaci admittedly broke out in hives when asked if they had prepared a business plan or financial projections. Enter The Fifteen Group Restaurant and Hospitality consultants, with a client list ranging from Edible at the Market to Chambar and Joe Fortes. With expertise in the areas of menu, service and business development, they have ensured that the technical side of things is as exceptional is the conceptual will continue to be a key member of the team throughout the opening process.<\/p>\n

The Name
\n\u201cAs is often the case with writing, the title, \u2018Neverland Tea Salon\u2019 actually came first,\u201d explains Tatchell. \u201cIt filled me with images of a very special retreat from the chaos of everyday life, where people could check their adult worries at the door and remember what it felt like to be carefree kids. It didn\u2019t take long to realize this was too big to be a screenplay. It had to be real!\u201d And so it is, opening this Friday, September 20th, 2013.<\/p>\n
