O5 Rare Tea Bar

O5 Rare Tea Bar is upping the ante for Vancouver's tea scene and it's safe to say that there is nothing else like this space in the city. Sure, Vancouverites appreciate their tea, but no one has created a space quite like the one that Pedro and Brian have on Kitsilano's West 4th Avenue. From the outside, a large black and sleek door neighbors a sweeping window that allows people walking by a peek into this cool space. If the architecturally pleasing exterior and glimpse of the interior aren't enough to draw you in, perhaps their butter laden, hand-made caramels and tea will get you in there. They offer tasting flights of tea and the entire process is an experience that's filled with stories about the farmers they source the teas from and have since made friends with. They have traveled the globe to find these teas and the passion they exude is savored in each sip.
