Living in Germany in the late 1990s, Sabrina Faas fell in love with the art of drinking fine tea. “When I came back to Vancouver, there weren’t very many tea stores in town and I really, really missed my loose tea,” says Sabrina, who has been proudly sharing her passion for the highest quality of tea with Kitsilano locals since 2000.
