In February we check out the then new\u00a0Cha Le Tea Merchant Cafe + Shop<\/a>\u00a0and sampled some very high quality teas and tasty prawn, tuna and ricotta toast.\u00a0Cha Le<\/strong> (pronounced chah\u2022luh<\/em>), which translates to \u201cHappy Tea,\u201d features upwards of 20 high-quality, handpicked teas for retail sale in large tins and small boxes, \u00a0as well as a full-service tea cafe serving a rotating list of proprietary teas, blends, tea lattes, herbal infusions and a small bites menu.<\/p>\n

CHA LE TEA MERCHANT<\/strong>
\nImported directly from independent tea farms throughout China\u2019s tea-growing provinces, Cha Le Tea Merchant<\/strong>\u2019s husband-and-wife owners, Charlie Zhang and Sue Wang, have selected two dozen of the finest black, white, green, oolong and pu\u2019er teas representative of the best of a given region. Examples include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Edge of the City<\/strong> A rare, smokey black tea grown from ancient trees by the owners’ family friend high in the mountains over Sue\u2019s native city of Chongqing.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Moonlight Beauty 2009<\/strong> This mellow, aged white tea from Simao in Yunnan Province that gets its name from its unique leaves, which are white and downy on one side, smooth and black on the other.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Maofeng <\/strong>This internationally recognized green tea is cultivated on Anhui Province\u2019s Huangshan Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Cha Le\u2019s Maofeng is especially handpicked to deliver a sweet tea with no bitterness.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cinnamon Rock<\/strong> Tea Grown semi-wild in rock cracks high on a mountain in the Fujian Province, this woody oolong tea expresses a cinnamon-like flavour. Tea from the other side of the same mountain, Narcissus Rock Tea<\/strong>, has a floral flavour profile reminiscent of narcissus blossoms.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Aged Shou Pu\u2019er Coin 2007<\/strong> Processed in 2007, this aged pu\u2019er, (named after Pu\u2019er City in Yunnan Province this fermentation technique was invented), uses top-grade golden buds pressed into mini cakes. The earthy flavour and aroma mellow and become silkier over time, much like wine.<\/p>\n

\nCHA LE CAFE<\/strong>
\nWhile Cha Le<\/strong> teas are steeped in tradition, the Yaletown Cafe is not your typical Chinese teahouse. Gone are the antique teapots, replaced by a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled glass vacuum brewing system that customizes temperature and brewing times for each individual tea to ensure optimal results. Most teas can be prepared and steeped to perfection within 90 seconds, less than the time it takes to make an espresso latte.
\nDesigned by Leckie Studio Architecture + Design Inc., the caf\u00e9 space is maximized with full walls of custom millwork shelving and a central tea bar where customers can watch the show of their teas being brewed into ceramic mugs thrown by Vancouver Island-based ceramics artist Rachel Saunders or in eco-friendly to-go cups. A tranquil and comfortable seating nook with eight seats is also available for a more tranquil experience.<\/p>\n

\"cha<\/p>\n

Cha Le is open seven days a week, 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday; 10am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
