The Tea Girl Edit

Cozy, welcoming, friendly, with a vast tea selection, great local food and amazing staff.

Absolute best location for tea. This store has come a long way in it’s 13 year history in central Edmonton, and is just now coming into it’s prime with the newest ownership. Over 150 teas, and many rare hard to find teas, like Sparrows Tongue Yellow tea, Sri Lankan white, white pearls, Keemun Mao Feng, Oriental Beauty, along with teas from almost every growing region. There is also an extensive herbal selection, as well as fair trade french pressed coffee. This location has great staff, always willing to chat about the tea, or make you your favourite latte. The store is cozy in winter with long hours, and air conditioned in the summer (unlike what the previous review stated). This location serves locally made pastries, many of which are gluten-free. The location also sells tea to take home and the tea pots and infusers to accompany it. There is a feeling of welcome to any tea lover, or those new to sipping tea leaves, and a great place to share a pot of tea with a friend.

I started frequenting Steeps in old Glenora around 2001, and I still visit at least once a week. They offer a delightful selection of loose teas, matcha, and other beverages, as well as light food and desert items. A delightful place with a unique atmosphere to meet friends and enjoy a lovely brew.

Small but cozy shop! Great selection of teas although not quite as extensive as the other Steeps location. I’ve spent many hours curled up in the chairs with a pot of tea in the winter or a pitcher of Iced tea in the summer.
