Karla's Specialteas

Fresh batch of Matcha all tinned up! Also in stock are the “perfect matcha” 🍵 spoons and whisks.

I love to add a little Matcha to my Genmaicha Green tea for a super boost (might need it this morning 😆),add it to smoothies or baking or an iced Matcha latte with oat milk!

Rain or Shine! Mission Fest is on today 10-4!

PSA:

MissionFest is on Sat Aug 24, rain or shine! Unfortunately, we won't have the zipline this year for safety reasons... BUT!

Because of the soggy weather, we've decided to pivot and lean into it with TWO inflatable waterslides & an inflatable SLIP & SLIDE!

Bring a towel and your trunks, folks!
It'll be a classic "Wet-Coast" experience with your favourite retailers and restaurants putting out some amazing merch, snacks and sales!
Don't let the rain dampen the day, grab your boots and let's goooooooo!

This Saturday is Mission Fest! From 10-4 the Main Street will be closed down for all the festivities!

Pop by the NEW shop location at 33130 1st Ave for store specials, tea samples (hot or iced depending on the weather!) and lots of fun celebrating as a community!

Throw back 11 years!!!!! This photo brings me back to my Harrison Festival days slanging iced teas on the beach and tying my tent down so it wouldn’t fly away 😆 AND look….I’m set up beside the lovely 💗✨
Who would have thought that 11 years later we would be amazing friends, I’d have a brick and mortar shop and be selling their pottery 🤯 ❤️

There has been a million times I’ve thought of giving up my business in those hard times and what feels like endless barriers. But then I look back fondly on all my AMAZING times are also made up by all my AMAZING customers some that have supported me for 13 years, thank you!!!! It’s also taken resilience and a huge sparkle ✨ of passion and love and thousands of pep talks by my friends and family and myself and I’m happy to still be here!

I think of all my people & I THANK YOU. I wouldn’t still be here without your love and support ❤️ I thank you for following me on my journey and allowing me to do what really is my passion.

I think of my dear friend Tina of The Pink Spatula, my first business mentor and someone that cheered me on🎀 from the start. Who would have thought….pairing tea and gourmet marshmallows. Try it 👌🏻

Thank you to everyone that had visited so far and I’m just thrilled with all the most amazing customers EVER! Going into 13 years with a sprinkle of ✨ ❤️ feeling grateful that I get to continue to do what I LOVE and remembering ALL the amazing accomplishments and hardships along the way! A few times I’ve almost given up but know that I do it because of YOU. The laughs and hugs and the tears, the REAL conversations, with what I consider many great friends!….which I’m sure many have had for the hour long visits at the shop 😆, the support and love and encouragement and stories about how the teas have helped you…comfort, through cancer treatments, through good times and bad times, grief, sharing with loved ones, morning rituals, to aid in health, pregnancy/nursing support for your beautiful babies, gifts or just because you love them! Thank you!

So appreciative 🦋

The face behind it all! For all my lovely customers that haven’t popped in the shop or haven’t met me in person I’m usually in a toque for 6 months out of the year…so this somewhat captures me perfectly! 😆

It’s coming up on 13 YEARS in business and I just cannot thank all my amazing customers for taking this journey with me ❤️ from my little basement studio, paper labels and passing tins and shipments through the tinest window, then moved on up to my Abby warehouse space, then my first kinda retail front hidden on Mission Main to my current space in the Courtyard! It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years and I’m reflecting on all the fun it’s been (and the hard stuff) and I just really wouldn’t be here without the help of so many amazing people. I’m blessed each day with doing something I LOVE ❤️ and THANKFUL!
