Camellia Sinensis

Québec City


This modern and very elegant Japanese-inspired shop, which takes its name from the botanical name for 'tea,' stocks some 200 varieties of said commodity; just count the large canisters lining the shelves. Buy to take away or sip some tea ($3 to $4.85) on the premises. It stocks some incredibly beautiful teapots and cups as well.
