Murchie’s, Victoria

On Monday I showed you our morning scones at Murchie’s in Victoria. In addition to offering edibles on site, Murchie’s sells tea, coffee, and accessories. The tea choices are extensive and I’ve found enduring favorites. Boxes of teas are shown here along the wall to the right, and most of them share space with small, open jars that allow shoppers to sniff the various teas. Murchie’s has standard black and green teas along with blends.

For tea lovers who like to brew an entire pot, Murchie’s sells a selection of tea cosies, warmers to cover a pot. This is one of the cutest I’ve seen.

Of course, there’s also a nice selection of tea pots, cups, and mugs. One of these pots is going to come home with me if I’m not careful.

What I wanted. . .what I had

We often stop at Murchie’s on Government Street in Victoria. It’s an unassuming bakery – tea shop – cafe that suits us fine when we’re ready to take a break. The cakes above were some of the treats on offer. . .what I wanted.

Here’s what we had, French macaroons and coffee, just what you’d expect to have in a Canadian tea shop. It didn’t disappoint.
