TEA on the 45th - Bracebridge, Ontario

Karen C.

Mark tailored a "High Tea" for my granddaughters (and mom and me) at a fair price (he was amazing) ... he took time to look after us, it was just beautifully set up. I will be back for more on the following Friday it was so fabulous. The tea was delicious, the cakes amazing (the girls loved their sweet tea with bubbles, such a surprise), the adults just loved the scones and I was able to buy some little gifts and a card to send to a friend in England in their lovely store. I will be bringing anyone I can and I have spread the word far and wide that this is the place to go. Thanks so much for being so accommodating. 💙

If you're seeking a tea experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further than Tea on the 45th. This charming little establishment, tucked away on the main strip, exudes an aura of sophistication and delightful quirkiness that you will appreciate.

Fresh baked scones? Yes. But it doesn't stop there. The true magic at Tea on the 45th lies in the astonishing variety of teas, all painstakingly blended by the owners. Enjoy an expertly steeped cup of flavour and aroma as you peruse the store, or enjoy your tea on a leisurely walk down the bustling main strip. And you can bring the enchantment home with you by snagging a bag of their meticulously crafted loose leaf tea blends.

I don’t like to commit to a tea blend before I know what it tastes like, and this is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of something different, and chance to discover a new favorite for an evening at home.

The shop itself is a treasure trove of local food, art, handmade pottery, home decor and gift items. Bracebridge local, Michele Rose’s whimsical artwork adorns the walls, and I dare you to count the sheep! Perusing the shelves and stands, you'll encounter an assortment of greeting cards, ranging from elegantly poetic to wickedly sarcastic. Whether you're looking for the perfect card to express your feelings or to send a cheeky message, Tea on the 45th has you covered.

And if you are looking for a hostess gift, I highly recommend checking out their local and gourmet food section. The selection spans the spectrum from flaming artisanal hot sauces to beautifully packaged cookies. You will be able to find the perfect token of appreciation amidst these culinary delights.

THERE IS A ROOM HIDDEN IN THE BACK OF THE SHOP.

And when I walked into the room, it took me by surprise.
Its two weeks before Halloween and here before me was a Christmas Shop. Normally, I have dramatic internal reactions to seeing Christmas décor for sale before Halloween has passed. But this time, it hit different.

It is an absolute treasure trove! The variety of holiday table settings, ornaments, and of course, gnomes, is a testament to the keen curation that runs throughout this establishment.

Every year, we have a tradition with our kids where they each pick out an ornament for our Christmas tree, and it's a big deal. I am heading back ASAP with my kids so they can have their pick of the early selection, and I suggest you do the same.

Make fun of me all you want. When you see this room, you will understand.

In short, if you're a tea enthusiast looking for an experience that combines tea artistry, scrumptious scones, and the joy of finding unique treasures, Tea on the 45th is the place to be. This shop is a charming and eclectic spot to indulge your senses.

The store has many lines of products, from souvenirs to home goods and of course the tea shop is a highlight. The man we met is knowledgeable and very accommodating. I love my winter rooibos. Great value for the money.

Lovely shop with a beautiful selection of teas. Went with the usual Earl grey cream and Blue sky oolong. Will try Oolong ice wine tea and sachang teas next time 😊.

I’ve travelled all across Canada for work and visited famous tea shops.

I have to say that this is top shelf in comparison.

The owner is very helpful. One can make custom requests for a tea mixture.

Today, I took my time trying to figure out what might suit me… staff were very patient and accommodating.

If you want a hot chocolate or take away drink, they also have a counter service (snacks, too).

I love going into this store. I was surprised to see new owners, and very happy to see a whole wall of loose leaf tea! Owner was very knowledgeable and helped with our tea selections. I chose the Organic Monk’s Blend and was very pleased. Tea is very fresh and so smooth!!
Almost done here with a mug I purchased from the store a previous time. Thank you, I will be back!

I absolutely love this store! Not only does it have an amazing selection of teas, it has so much more. They have a great selection of local artisan functional art work such as serving dishes, vases etc. The people who work here are so lovely. ❤️❤️
