We enjoy tea packing.

As the aroma fills the room, we often find ourselves wondering where each tea is headed and how it will be enjoyed. A quiet morning, a meaningful conversation, a moment of pause.

Every package is a connection, and we’re deeply grateful for the support that makes it all possible.

Thank you for making space for tea time with Teakan.

Our online tea shop is finally back on!

New harvest of our old favourites are restocked, new teas have arrived, and we’ve released something special.

Thank you for your patience and support. Happy browsing, and happy brewing.

May is always one of our busiest months, and also one of our favourites.

With Asian Heritage Month and Mother’s Day woven throughout the calendar, we were given many opportunities to share tea culture, heritage, and most importantly, meaningful connections.

We began with The Art of Matcha, followed by a Hong Kong Milk Tea Workshop and several Chinese tea workshops with different community groups. Each gathering was unique, but all were connected by the simple act of sharing tea and stories around the table.

In between, we hosted cozy Mother’s Day tea experiences for corporate clients, creating custom tea blends to celebrate the occasion.

We wrapped up the month with our own Culture & Heritage Tea Event inspired by the Song dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Through tea, stories, and customs, we explored how people connected, celebrated, and found joy in everyday life thousand years ago.

Looking back, what stays with us isn’t just the number of events, but the conversations shared, friendships formed, memories revisited, and moments of connection created over a cup of tea.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and invited us into your communities, teams and client celebrations. We are grateful for every opportunity to share the cultures and traditions behind tea, and even more grateful for the people we get to share them with.

[Jun 13] June Tea Class

This June, we’ll journey into Wuyishan and Tongmuguan, neighbouring regions that gave birth to two of the world’s most influential tea categories: oolong and black tea.

Through guided tastings, we’ll explore Wuyi yancha and Lapsang Souchong side by side, tracing how landscape, craftsmanship, oxidation, and roasting shaped their evolution. Along the way, we’ll uncover the connections between these iconic teas while deepening our understanding of the people, places, and traditions behind every cup.

If you’ve ever wondered how oolong and black tea came to be, this class offers a chance to taste their origins.

📅 June 13 (Sat)
🕦 10:30 AM–12:30 PM
📍 2250 Main Street, Vancouver

As we move into the warmer months, we are pleased to open enrollment for our GJTea Japanese Tea Foundation Course this June. It is the perfect window to move beyond the basics and master the technical foundations of the leaf.

Japanese tea is a study of subtle precision, from the vibrant energy of the first harvest to the intentional shading techniques that define the teas we love. In this 2-day intensive, we explore how terroir, seasonality, and processing translate into the specific umami and sensory profiles in your cup.

This in-person certification course is for those ready to deepen their tea practice through: 

🍃Technical foundations of cultivation, harvest cycles, and processing methods 

🍃Refining your palate through guided, side-by-side comparisons

🍃Hands-on training in traditional brewing methods

Whether you are a curious enthusiast or beginning a more serious professional path, this is an invitation to spend a weekend building technical expertise and sensory clarity. 

Registration is now open for the June 27 & 28 Course. Link in bio for full curriculum and details.
