This wonderful young woman has flown the coop! We miss her immensely.
Emma started at the teashop when she was 13 and we were immediately impressed by her desire to learn about tea and her incredible baking skills. Her taste in music is top notch and we’ll miss her Saturday playlists.
She has now moved on to the next phase of her life at the University of Calgary.
We wish her only the best things in life! She’s a dream. Love you Emma!

To our American customers:
The United States has discontinued the program that allows small packages/goods under $800 to be shipped duty-free from Canada to the US.
Unfortunately this means that it is unsustainable for us to continue shipping to the United States.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but it is beyond our control.

Congratulations to the Ucluelet Secondary School Class of 2025!
It’s a bittersweet day for us. We are so proud of Emma who has been working at the tea shop for the last three years. As she graduates, she’ll be moving on and we’re so excited to see her in her next adventures, but we will miss her incredibly.
You’ll have the rest of the summer to say hello to her and wish her well. Congratulations Emma and to the whole class of 2025.

There's a lot of confusion out there about food labeling - especially with the threat of US tariffs and Canadian retaliatory tariffs.
Here's a quick cheat sheet.
Anything labeled "Product of Canada" must meet a 98% threshold of Canadian content.
Anything labeled "Made in Canada" must meet a 51+% threshold of Canadian content.
Tea is not grown in any substantial measure in North America. It's too cold here!!!
Our teas are imported from Sri Lanka, India, China, Japan, Kenya, and beyond.
Thay Tea meets the 51+% threshold of the "Made in Canada" designation on many of our blended teas as they are blended and packaged in Canada at a Canadian Company by Canadian workers. For our teas that we do not blend on-site, we use many Canadian and EU blenders and importers.
For those in love with our Micro Chai - it is imported from the USA (using teas and spices from India). It is from a small family run business. We will continue to support them until the tariffs force our hand. We cannot sustain a 25% increase in costs.
Thay Tea is a proudly Canadian Company, based in beautiful British Columbia. We invite you to come visit, as Ucluelet might be one of the most stunning spots in this great nation (maybe we're a bit biased.) And if you can't visit in person, check out our teas online.
We've always encouraged everyone to support local and to support small business and we want to say thank you to our friends and customers for all of your love!

Thank you for your patience friends. The Canada Post strike is now over. Shipping has resumed but will likely be delayed as they work through the backlog. They are hoping to clear up the backlog by Christmas, so shipping times should go back to normal after that. We really do appreciate your patience during this. Being in a small town, our shipping options are very limited.
