What customers say?

“ I've been coming to Qualitea for over 7 years and I can't go anywhere else! They have a great range, with the highest quality green teas. The owners are friendly and always happy to chat to whenever I pop in to get more. ”

- Lily Tran -

“ I visited Qualitea for the first time yesterday and was delighted to see the range of teas and beautiful tea accessories on display. I initially only wanted to browse but ended up walking out with a collection of bancha and matcha as well as my new tea set and matcha bowl. The set and bowl are gorgeous, and the bowl has obviously been made to a high quality with beautiful design. Most importantly, the owner was extremely friendly and talkative, willing to teach me about the correct way to prepare the matcha (which I have not done before). I think a useful addition would be a small pamphlet or leaflet explaining how to care for my tea accessories after use, but I was able to find the information online. I also didn't feel pressured to buy things that I didn't want to by the owner, which was a huge relief! I fully intend on returning to Qualitea and would recommend those wanting to purchase tea sets and accessories to come here. ”

“ This place is really beautiful and they have a large assortment of teas, tea wares and lucky cats! The elderly gentleman who always is manning the store, seems very lovely. ”

- Alexandria -

“ The teas here are so high quality, you can really taste the difference from other tea brands. Great selection of gifts to choose from, and always such friendly service when we come in. ”

- Tiffany Tran -

“ I stumbled into this store not with the intention to buy any matcha and was greeted by the most lovely man behind the counter. Upon talking to him I found out he has amazing quality matcha that is a beautiful vibrant green colour and perfect for my morning matcha. Immediately I bought two tins and had a wonderful conversation with the owner. I would strongly recommend this store to anyone who is looking for great quality matcha and a wonderful customer service experience. I will only be buying my matcha and Japanese tea from here moving forward. ”

- Milli Forde -

“ Came to visit the store yesterday and was greeted by the lovely owner Tony asking me if there was anything I was looking for. I've been on the matcha hype recently and was recommended this matcha for lattes. Can say that it's a bit bitter on its own but the tea taste still comes through nicely in a latte ”

“ Great selection of tea and unique selection of teaware. Friendly staff. Tony has in-depth knowledge with tea. Each time I visit Quali-Tea, he takes the time to share his tea knowledge and experience with me. ”

- Wendy Au -

“ This store is located in the middle of the strand and is quite quiet/ not well known. The store itself is presented quite beautifully and they have a wide range of teas from various parts of Asia, such as China and Japan. They also sell the lucky cats and other Asian ornaments. The staff didn’t seem super friendly (in my experience). She didn’t really acknowledge me as I browsed the store. But due to the stock/ products, I may return. ”
