The day is nearly here. After first sharing the news that Cha Tra Mue, a.k.a. Thailand’s number one tea brand, was opening its first Western Canada location here in Vancouver last year, its opening day is fast approaching.

The tea shop first got its start all the way back in 1945 in Thailand.

“Generations of tea lovers have grown up with the rich, creamy, and fragrant taste of our original Thai tea blend — a closely guarded recipe that’s been perfected over 80+ years,” wrote the tea shop.

At its Vancouver outpost, the tea brand previously said that it’s dedicated to sharing that same real taste of Thailand’s favourite tea.

As for what makes this tea so special, it only uses selected black tea leaves and finishes each drink with creamy condensed milk.

“It’s more than just a drink — it’s a taste of Thai heritage in every sip. From bustling Bangkok streets to neighbourhood tea shops across Asia, Cha Tra Mue has become a beloved icon,” said the tea shop.

You can visit Cha Tra Mue’s Vancouver outpost starting Friday, Feb. 13.
