Incredible variety of teas and very knowledgable staff.

Fantastic little tea shop in the heart of Banff! Despite the small store size there are plenty of teas for you to smell and for you to buy. The prices are very reasonable and you can also buy hot tea for $2 to take with you! We had my friend’s dog with us and the lady working even gave our dog a treat and came to say hello. Next time I am in Banff I will most certainly be returning.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to review them last year. Best tea in Alberta, as far as I'm concerned. Even better, they make blends to reflect their environment. Roses, elderberries, blackberry leaves, sage, lavender, and more. They have the most incredible teas and tea ideas. Every year there's something new and several old favourites to pick up. I have been coming here since I went with my parents and never have I been disappointed. Friendly staff, always a taster available, more extensive tea tastings on Monday. Knowledge is power - they make (or have made) many of there own blends and know tons about tea. You don't have to believe me, go order from their website. Oh, and for those travelling from overseas - Pu Erh is here! it is hard to find in Canada.

We stopped by Banff Tea Co while on vacation in Canada & absolutely fell in love with the local shop! It's been 4 years since & thankfully Banff Tea Co ships to the US because I refuse to buy my tea anywhere else! Their loose leaf tea is fresh, flavorful and delicious. My personal favorite is their version of a sleepytime tea "Knock Yourself Out" it has a subtle sweetness to it & puts me right to bed. The workers were so sweet & friendly & their customer service is always superb. I love supporting this local shop!

Luciane Cardassi

My favourite tea store ever!

Jiayue Zhan

The oolong tea is so good!!!! Best one I’ve had in Canada. Go here if you get a chance!! Especially if you love and appreciate good tea. None of that artificial stuff they sell at other places.

Giri Berenstein

We love banff tea company's tea blends! They're some of our favorite loose leaf teas. The store has a variety of pots, mugs and other accessories, and the staff is lovely, professional and helpful. We can order online and have in the past, but when we get a chance we pop in because it's so pleasant and we get to smell and try new teas.

Shyanne Ewaskow

The staff was very helpful!

Ananda Tze

Absolutely love the selections!! Best Creamy Earl Grey ever!!

Dasha Matusevich

Cute store with quality teas and helpful staff. It’s also the only place I’ll buy lavender tea from!

Nancy S

Fantastic selection of teas, a must for me every time I'm in town.

Samantha Stupak

Banff Tea Co is an amazing little company. Earlier last month I realized I was running low on tea and I was wondering how I was going to get through the week since I assumed that after I put in my order that it would probably take a week or more to get my order. However, I put in my order on November 18, it was sent out the same day, and I received my package only on November 20... the day I ran out of tea and only two days after I placed my order! That is so fast and so impressive. I am so grateful for this wonderful company!

Marilyn Cox

Delicious teas huge selection samples available.

Kathryn Hilman

While similar to the Canmore Tea Company, this tea store has its own set of proprietary blends of tea that you can't find anywhere else which is friggin awesome. The ladies that run this shop are really dedicated and adorable. Would recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

Jessica Brady

I LOVE this place!! First time there today, and the people were awesome and super friendly! So many neat mugs and tea items too. Tea is reasonably priced! Can't wait to try out what I got! Definitely a must go if you're in Banff and love tea!!

Siavash Khallaghi

I love their tea and frequently order it online. The tea comes in a few days and I am just happy.

stefan van keulen

Really nice tea and nice staff. We ordered the ontario ice wine tea, which we can't buy here in the Netherlands. The contact via e-mail was smooth and fast. It already arrived after 2 weeks! We will definetely order again!

ANNETTE STOCK

I was in Banff with my parents a couple years ago. As a tea lover I couldn’t resist going in. Bought tea on the spot and have been ordering from them ever since.

Matt Rafferty

This is an amazing tea shop, great selection of teas and all are well balanced. Its hard to pick my favourite, but try the Black Bear.

Hong Pham

A great way to purchase souvenirs for my trip to banff. The owner is super friendly. The tea house had soo many amazing different blends of tea. Definitely command checking it out

Lance D

Big variety. Helpful staff

Jaime Kirton

Cute shop for all your tea needs, they recently had a "facelift" and the shop looks great.

anne drew potter

I love this shop. They have great quality teas and a really good selection. The staff know their inventory and are efficient and helpful. They have all the right accessories for steeping. The atmosphere is also pretty band pleasant.

Bob McInnis

Amazing local business.

Jordan Froese

Lots of different options, and staff are really friendly and knowledgeable

Sarah McCurdy

Love this place, it's my go to for tea! We ordered online on Sunday and the goods were delivered Tuesday, so quick! This is a great business to continue supporting during the pandemic!

Olga Bavrlic

I cannot stress how fresh and how high the quality of the Tea's that are sold from Banff Tea Co. are. I stumbled apon them online because they are one of the only shops that sells "Northern Delights". After making an initial order I was also given a few samples and since then have ordered new Tea's. The online ordering is very user friendly and from Banff it arrives to my door in downtown Toronto within 5 business days. There are lots of options here in the city, but they aren't as good as what Banff Tea Co. has to offer. Thanks for the wonderful Tea, you opened up a new world of flavour to me and I will continue to shop with you.

Katharine Ng

A wonderful tea shop! Tried their delicious tea at the Plain of Six Glaciers teahouse, then was delighted to see their shop in downtown Banff. The owners were wonderful and warm and patient and had great suggestions. Try the gingerbread orange rooibos!

Banff Walk

Make this magical spot your one-and-only destination for tea in Banff. You'll be treated like friends and family! You'll also be treated to a brilliant and wide-ranging selection of teas for every taste, genuinely hand-crafted in the Rocky Mountains, with a global sense of taste and understanding for sustainability. This is a must-visit destination in Banff if you simply love tea, or have friends back home who would love something extra-special and unforgettable. Our favs: Scottish Breakfast Tea and Decaf Earl Grey!

Patrick Neault

Love their tea. Excellent service. Live in Regina and order from Banff Tea co when our supply is getting low.

Jayson Abraham

Fabulous tea selection. Personal favourite pepper mint. They have tasting on selected day. Give them a ring to find out more.

Vanessa Middelhoek

My favorite tea is Jazz Cat! They have a great selection.

Sandra Blanchette

Amazing Quality tea, amazing service. I will be back.

Kelsey Chow

A great place to find new teas or to try some staple favorites. I love being able to order the weight I want and they have a tea here for everyone. Very helpful and efficient staff and lots of tea accessories in this boutique shop.

Emily Jankila

I first had a cup of walnut truffle at the Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse and it was the best cup of tea I've ever had! I went to town the next day to buy it and i bought a few more kinds to try, I was not disappointed! It was a sad day when I ran out .. but luckily they ship! I am so thrilled to keep buying my tea from Banff Tea Co.! They are really quick to respond, quick to ship, and have the most flavorful unique teas I've ever tasted!

Anthony Mazzu

Great selection of teas for a great price! All the staff there are super friendly and helpful!

Omer F

Both as walk-in visiting tourists and as overseas clients we had the best of service and more importantly - the best of tea. Much recommended!

Louise Van Polanen

Peeking through the windows, it looked like a lovely tea shop, so my 12 year-old step-daughter and I thought we'd have a look. Unfortunately, with COVID restrictions, they're only allowing one customer in at a time. I understand that this is a time for caution and social distancing, but if a customer is out alone for the day with a youth, I don't believe you are putting anyone at anymore risk if you let parent and child in. You lost business today because you wanted me to leave my step-daughter alone. You should seriously reconsider exceptional cases.

Ledge Ballam

Super friendly staff, massive selection of different teas and freshly made tea to sample on site! What's not to love?!! Beautiful store & great staff!!!

Will Urbanski

amazing selection!

Yellow Parsley

Amazing place, I'm more into their tea pots and accessories than teas. I got adorable Japanese tea set for just $35, and usually similar sets start at $50. They do have some amazing high quality tea sets as well. Staff is so very kind and helpful. I come here every time I'm in banff, highly recommend. Even though I love the store, I'm not a fan of their white and green teas. Herbal and black teas are much much better

Kosta Nicolozakes

Outstanding selections and quality. Make sure to try their stuff at the Plain of 6 Glaciers Tea House for some specialties!

Llama Does

Extremely knowledgeable staff and high quality tea. I’ve only found one other tea shop on par with Banff Tea and they’re in San Francisco. I order my tea from here to ship to the US Mid-Atlantic. My order shipped quickly (and I blame the post for delays) and my tea arrived nicely packaged. Will order again soon.

Aly

Great customer service and helpful information on teas. Store has other cute nick-nacks. Tea to go is only $2 and decent price loose leaf tea to take home. Yummy flavours of tea you can't get at other tea shops.

Shalom

Excellent product; Surpassing service.

Vacate Ssyzr

Delicious! Great selection and the staff don't mind offering their knowledge.

Sean Vadoo

I've been buying tea from Banff Tea Co for a long time now. Never ever less than a pleasant experience. Great selection and taste. They usually have some tea sample up front for you to try. My favourite is Cream of Earl Grey. Relaxing tea? Or sleep aid? Try Knock Yourself Out and/or Sweet Dreams of Banff.

Ayana Doran

We’ve been purchasing tea from this store since 2018. Our honeymoon was that year and we fell in love with the area and the cute little store. My husband usually is not a tea drinker but he’s always asking when our next order is. I highly suggest Blueberry Bingo and Apricot Rhubarb.

Jeff Leger

Solid place. Keep it up!

R o3738

They really know their teas! My favourite is the Guangzhou Milky Oolong, a tad expensive but the taste is worth it.

Melissa Turcotte

Super friendly service, love how their teas are labelled and organized, very easy to follow. Purchased a white Earl gray and a cream of Earl gray.

David A. Adcock

Banff Tea Company is our absolute FAVORITE tea company in Banff! Every time we travel to Banff we make an extra effort to stop by the Banff Tea Company, and ALWAYS end up buying bags amazing floral tea! Locally owned and run, these ladies know their tea! They sell some of the best smelling and best tasting teas anywhere in the world. We love visiting them as well as ordering from them online! BANFF TEA COMPANY is the BEST!

Eddy Gooch

Found some beautiful teas. The staff was awesome.

Doug Anderson

They have a really good selection of teas. There's always a sample of the day to try as well. I think the prices are decent.

Kristen Drummond

Such a fantastic selection of unique, high quality teas. Visited the store in summer 2016 and left with a delicious collection that has now prompted an online purchase 3 months later! Shopping in store and online are both so easy and enjoyable. The staff are very knowledgeable and the website is easy to navigate. I'm on my 4th steep of my new Turmeric Ginger and I can't get enough! Walnut Truffle is also a delectable favourite. The Banff Tea Co. is certainly my favourite place in town!

Kelly Mackey

Absolutely my favorite store in all of Banff!! We visited Alberta recently (July 2019) and stopped into Banff Tea Co. We were immediately greeted by Michelle who welcomed us to free smells of all their lovely tea blends as well as a free sample of Iron Maiden Tea. I fell in love with the Tea and the store! We went back and bought more and we will be definitely ordering online. It’s hard to find quality products these days, and when you combined that with warm and friendly service it’s a total win!!! Thank you Banff Tea Co. We will be long term customers!! Kelly Mackey and Family

Jesse Corbel

Wonderful tea place to visit. They have a giant library of teas, with a rotating group of discount teas and samples of the most popular brews. The staff is wonderful and hilarious, with a great knowledge of every item in the store. They support local businesses, and you can find local honey and hand-made ceramics and tea cozies. It's a wonderful place to shop!

Ann Le-MacEachern

It was a cozy store with tea all along the one wall and tea cups, tea pots mugs, travel mugs, infusers everywhere else. There was also clever tea towels for sale as well. I loved all of the tea selections and had to stop smelling any more tea. Super happy that I am able to order more online since I don't live in Banff.

Brandon

Amazing selection and outstanding blends! Staff really know what they're doing and even deliver to Drumheller. Professional and they are on point with their dealings with Covid restrictions. All in all was a great visit!

Melanie Hildebrandt

Always as a must-do in Banff. Their tea selection is amazing.

Kevin Chow

Great staff and amazing teas!

Kathryn Ivison

Such wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Always smiling and go above and beyond. Highly recommended.

Mackenzie Diana Gabrielle

Best selection, fast and affordable shipping, lovingly packaged and came with samples! I wont buy tea aywhere else!

Ben Nicholson

Great selection here. The woman that helped us out really knows her teas, and her suggestions were delicious! Thank you for the great pit stop on our journey! :)

Joanne Wong

This place is EXCELLENT for tea. They have so many tea choices, that I didn't know where to begin. The only issue about this place was that I thought the woman that was working here was slightly rude to us. Although I note that we were probably there before she was closing, it just felt like she had some attitude speaking to us. Otherwise, a great place to go to.

Vishvek Babbar

Nice local tea shop with a large variety. Good to keep warm on cold days.

M McClelland

This shop is amazing. The selection of teas is expansive, with a dynamic selection of flavours, and the staff are both knowledgable and warm. They also stock a great selection of accessories, from teapots and cups, to travel infusing mugs and spoons to dole out the exact amount for a cup or a pot. We stop in here every time we travel to Banff (and possibly travel to Banff specifically to stop in here), but they also have a phenomenal mail-order service.

Vivian

I stumbled across this store when visiting Banff. A wonderful selection of teas, and beautiful exclusive blends! Recently repurchased my favourite tea online. Very happy to support a local Canadian business during the pandemic.

Zach Couch

Possibly the most relaxing shop I've ever walked into. An excellent selection of tea from all over, some being harvested in the immediate area making it the obvious choice for those who want to buy local. The staff are lovely and very knowledgeable, and Excel at helping you find exactly what you're looking for

alicia Robertson

love the smeel in this palce , so natural , but supper busy as well

Adriana Serrano

This is my favorite tea shop ever. I'm from Edmonton and every time I visit Banff, this is a MUST. I'm delighted by their staff and selection and I love they are independently owned. They have unique blends and their staff is SUPER helpful if you need a recommendation. For black tea lovers, do yourself a favor and try the walnut truffle tea and grapefruit early grey. For white tea fans, white vanilla coconut, and for oolongs, Men-Shiva.

Avyn Gray

Great tea selection and friendly staff.

Daniel Bosshard

Excellent tea selection, great flavours, friendly staff. Got me addicted!

Mindona Krzykowski

I LOVE this place! We visited Banff about 5 years ago and I really enjoyed the shop atmosphere, selection and staff helpfulness and personality. Since then I have not made it back in person, but I order teas from them regularly and I live in Alaska - free shipping over $100 order. I have not been disappointed by any of their teas - the selection packs are great if you just want to try an array of teas. My current favorites are Afterglow and Ontario Ice Whine White Tea.

Rick Riffel

Excellent Tea selection and reasonable prices. Highly recommended. My go-2 Tea haven????

Dan Z

Delicious tea.

Alex

The lady (Apologies for not getting your name!) working there was very friendly and took the time to ask and answer our questions. The shop was very cozy and well lit with items that were unique from the rest of the stores in Banff. I only went in the look at a cat mug I saw from the window but ended up with a few pouches of tea!

Star Light

Amazing tea company with a great selection for every type of tea. One of our must stops every trip to Canmore/Banff to pick up at least my core favourites.

Susan Goold

I first discovered this lovely tea shop while in Banff for business and fell instantly in love! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and products are guaranteed to meet your particular tastes. Be sure to check the exclusive blends for great tea that you will want again and again.

Nicholas Erickson

We still order the tea! Same tea that you get at Lake Louise Tea House

Andrei Ilioviciu

Good people and great tea. I've been buying tea from here for years. And yet today they still surprised me with fresh and new product. If you are a serious tea drinker, look no further, they do it right. Thank you!

Duong T

Cute little store that can offer you all kinds of tea. Friendly and helpful staff. Must visit if you are a tea person ???? Picture taken in 2018 ☺️

Shannon Thoren

Best place around to get some special blends and knowledge on making teas at home.

karen johnson

I loved this little cute tea store! The lady working there helped me find the perfect loose leaf teas. I bought white tea and it was so good when I made a cup at home. I will definitely be back when I visit Banff again.

David Lindo

I always love going to the Banff Tea Co. They have such knowledgable and friendly staff especially Roxanne! My personal favourite tea is the peach green. Great service and prices and easily the best tea company in Banff!

Manny

The variety of tea available is beyond comprehension. The experience here makes you want to stay in the store and try /purchase everything there is to offer. I picked up the knock yourself out, tumeric, earl grey and lastly anx-ieta tea if I spelled that one correctly. I will be coming back here without a doubt

Jedi Lefnut

What a gem. Great find, better tea.

Justin Caine

As far as loose tea is concerned, I think their products are the best quality I’ve found by far! My particular favourites are the chocolate chilli chai and the creamy earl grey. Both are Very aromatic and flavourful. I look forward to trying more of their blends!

Winni Huang

(Translated) Many flavored teas and herbal teas are sold. The service staff is kind and professional. You can also buy tea for Lake Louise Castle Hotel afternoon tea. (Original) 販賣許多調味茶與花草茶，茶香四溢。服務人員親切專業。還可以買到露意絲湖城堡飯店下午茶所用的茶。

Chris Elford

Incredible variety of teas. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. All things Tea. We stop in whenever we're in Banff to stock up -- about once a month!

Jean-Francois Ducharme

very friendly , lot of choice of high quality tea .

Lorne Kraft

Arrived shortly before closing, I needed a cup of tea for the drive back to Calgary. The lady who was working was very friendly, stopped cleaning and took the time to help me with my selection and prepare our teas to go. Service was prompt and friendly, despite being so close to closing time, I was still welcome. There is a wide selection of loose tea available to suit all tastes as well as a great variety of unique and classic tea pots, mugs and all items related to tea. My favorite tea place in Banff.

Shreya S

"Make tea, not war" - is the byline of the cutest little tea company here in the idyllic little downtown district of Banff. From Lavender Mint to Raspberry Rooibos, from Blue Mango to Sweet Dreams Of Banff (a bestseller concoction of the most tantalising flavors) - there wasn't any brew you couldn't find. Jar after jar of aroma filled delicious brew leaves. My heart is still racing.

Rebecca Nelstead

Cute shop, delicious tea!

Christian Schlueter

This place actually got me into liking tea. Great selection. It's Banff-typical pricing, so it's more of a treat than an everyday thing, but that keeps it special!

Lana

Got tea from this store as a Christmas present, and I absolutely love it! Watermelon Oolong is my favourite.

J Rogers

The best place to get your tea! And always excellent customer service. Thank you Banff Tea Co.

Christopher Campbell

Great locally owned and environmentally conscious tea company in Banff. If you love tea, make sure to stop here when you’re in Banff. They create their own blends right in house and will help you find the perfect tea for you!

Jeremy Rasmussen

Many, many varieties of loose tea - very good quality and excellent flavour. I stock up on a few kinds to have all winter long.

Jakko Vos

Great selection. Nice people and they had Gunpowder tea ????????

Gary Lambert

Great read, helpful and friendly staff. Always worth a visit.

Ophelia Avocado

This is the best tea shop I have EVER been to! The woman working was so helpful, taking time to show me her favourite teas when I asked and explaining why she liked them. The tea is also INCREDIBLE!!! I got the creamy earl grey and purple rain and love them both. The creamy earl grey may be the best tea I have had. Definitely visit here.

Laur

A must go if you’re in Banff. Lovely staff and a huge tea selection with quite low prices. Best tea shop I’ve been too!

Lorelaine Parcon

We got them to do a special blend as give aways for our wedding. Michele was great to work with - she was very prompt with her email responses and made our tea blend very special by incorporating some personal background about us in it. The price is also very reasonable and their packaging were very nice and eco friendly. They also made label tags for us which is very nice of them. And of course the tea blend is amazing and delicious!

Gounbas Gounbas

They have the tea you need for your every mood!
