\"IMG_3176\"<\/a>While the blossoms are almost gone from the trees of Vancouver, there’s still time to celebrate Sakura at the Urban Tea Merchant with their seasonal\u00a0Sakura Tea Afternoon Tea service<\/a>\u00a0available until April 30, 2014.\u00a0 The tea merchant is tucked into a courtyard on Alberni Street with views of the colourful blossoms and sports a tea room classed up with the addition of white tablecloths and a tea pot fountain.<\/p>\n

Start with the Seasonal Teas, the\u00a0Sakura! Sakura! tea described as \u201can ode to spring, a fragrant TWG blend evoking Kyoto\u2019s most celebrated season. A scattering of cherry blossoms and green tea yields a most aromatic and elegant fragrance.\u201d \u00a0The White Spring Tea is also available for a brief time in the spring; this white tea has lively floral notes.\u00a0The Tea Party Tea\u00a0is another favourite \u00a0it\u2019s a black tea inflected with notes of candied sweetness and the Paris to Singapore is pairs well with the tea service, a green tea enhanced with fragrant cherry blossoms and red fruits.\u00a0\"IMG_3178\"<\/p>\n

Chef Michael Riley is now behind the kitchen creations offered at the Urban Tea Merchant and there’s been a few changes in the menu since I sampled it in 2012<\/a>. The tea is $38 per person with an extra $30 for Veuve Clicquot Champagne and another $15 if you’d like to add some Northern Divine Caviar to the tray. We’ll certainly be returning for Urban Tea Merchant’s new complete\u00a0Caviar Service<\/a> shortly.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3179\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the Sakura Tea Service there’s a plentiful selection of savoury and sweet items, all arriving at once smartly placed on a glass tray in a pleasing arrangement.<\/p>\n

miso-maple glazed sable \ufb01sh in butter lettuce
\n\u201cDignitary\u2019s Tea\u201d chicken cone
\nsmoked salmon ribbon with ponzu jelly
\n\u201cRed Chai\u201d beef carpaccio with horseradish foam
\n\u201cSingapore Breakfast Tea\u201d seared tuna tataki
\nTWG Tea macaron
\n\u201cSakura! Sakura!\u201d dessert sushi
\n\u201cMatcha Nara\u201d madeleine
\n\u201cRum Tea\u201d pecan tart<\/p>\n

Once again the miso maple sable fish reigns supreme, but the new tuna tataki gives it a run for it’s money. The dessert sushi was less of a hit, being a bit dry, but the pecan tart is a fine example of this delicious sweet. The service here is always spot on and you’ll be hard pressed not to leave with a few teas, tea macarons or some tea jellies for home tea parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
