Top quality tea acquired from the best sources! Fun & educational tea courses that encompass every aspect of the tea world. More information than you could ever imagine; including hands on time with tea ware. Amazing exclusive tea samples provided during classes & take home samples as well. Ming Tea is an invaluable resource to tea lovers in the area!
Marc GStudent of MING Tea
To my knowledge, Edward Qu is the most skilled tea expert in Canada. His tea classes, China tea vacation, and monthly tea subscription plans are the (constantly improving) best. The monthly tea subscription is catered to each individual, so contact him to get on one! He helps bring China tea culture and tea appreciation to Canada by volunteering with the Toronto Tea festival and being in charge of the Burlington tea festival. Spending time learning from him is an experience you will treasure. Buying loose leaf tea from him will be necessary, once you have had some classes and realize its nigh impossible to find such a large selection of quality tea elsewhere in Canada.
Glen NStudent of MING Tea
If you’re the type of person that loves to drink tea and interested in knowing more about the tea culture, tea history, different types of tea, how to identify the type and the quality, maybe even the scientific health benefits of each? This is the place to come!! Probably one of THE BEST tea courses you can possibly find in Toronto GTA!!! Mr. Edward Qu, qualified tea expert, a great teacher with lots of knowledge about tea, and has been studying it for decades. The number of variety of tea he has is unbelievable. Recommend 101 and 201 for beginners.
William LunStudent of MING Tea
I have taken a few different tea courses, but Edward and Crystal are absolutely amazing instructors who put a unique spine on tea, its history, economic significance, manufacturing and preparation practices, and its relation to aesthetics, ethics, and etiquette. And they also give you really practical ways to develop your palette and your ability to describe what you are tasting and smelling. If you want to learn about this beverage you can do no better than take advantage of one or more of the flexible options that Ming Tea gives you to start your discovery!

I used to be a life-long tea drinker, but only become a real tea-lover until I met Edward. He introduced so many varieties of international tea and taught me through how to enjoy a real cup of tea, not only to the taste of it but also the processes of making different tea, tea history, tea ceremony, spirit inside tea, and stories behind tea. Now I found the peace and comfort by drinking tea. Ming tea is the place I can find good quality tea, nothing in the commercial market can compare. Edward is a talented person who is very knowledgeable about tea and love to share his passion with whoever wants to experience the joy a brew of tea can bring.
Michelle KongStudent of MING Tea
I was a tea drinker since my teen year. As the genuine love developed from the daily habits, I tried to find a good teacher so I can systematically learn about tea. I tried different types of tea "Masters" in China, they somehow disappointed me. As I went back to Canada, and I met Edward's tea crews. I decided to try the course without attending any of his tea gatherings. I like the teacher and how he delivered the course material: people will actually learn something useful and experience many unforgetables. I strongly recommend the Edward's courses to anyone who love tea or interested in tea, it will open a whole new chapter in your knowledge bases and in your lives.
giselle chenStudent of MING Tea
I have been drinking tea for 20 years. Never thought there is so much to learn about Chinese tea until I met Edward. He really made me enjoy more. Currently I am so into Shou Mei, which we call it natural antibiotic. You definitely feel your throat smooth, mind so clear and energy level increased after few brews. Dry mouth, cough will be all gone.
Liu FionaStudent of MING Tea
Attending an afternoon tasting was a wonderful experience for this tea novice. Exquisite attention to detail, a vast knowledge and passion of the subject, Edward opened the doors to a world unknown to me. I went in knowing very little but came out wanting more.
Carol Snively-SkoblenickMING Tea Gathering
Best tea place in GTA area. Thrilled by quality and quantity of Edward's collection. I so wanted to take pictures but forgot it completely in front of tea. Will do next time...
Joanna ZhouMING Tea Gathering
Best tea in GTA. Not only the tea, but also the culture behind each piece of tea leaf. Plus, it was a super Zen experience when you sit there with the smell of time, with the fragrance of memories, with you yourself.
Highly recommend.
Ingrid SMING Tea Gathering
There are no words that can express my complete gratitude to you for opening up your home to me and allowing me to taste of your wisdom, your knowledge, and your passion.
