Come in for a sniff... but don't blame us if you leave with all three. 💛✨

Tomorrow Downtown Maple Ridge will come alive with live music and activities to celebrate Canada Day.

Join us from 12pm-4pm and enjoy savings unlike anything we ever do! Literally everything is on sale so come get your tea, buy that dress you haven't been able to stop thinking about or pick up some of our frozen cocktails to take home and enjoy later this summer.

You'll notice the reduced hours because we also want to get over to the park and enjoy all of the fun with our community. 🌭🍻❤️

Owning a small business is weird ( and getting stranger every day 😅)

We spend most of our days trying not to bother people online (unlike those brands who are posting dumb dances everyday, sending you text messages to remind you your cart is full, or creating AI slop to clutter your feed. YUCK) So asking our friends and customers to say something nice about us feels... uncomfortable.

But here's the truth of the matter...Google reviews help more people discover Once Upon a Tea Leaf. Reviews help tea lovers find us online, they help visitors discover our little shop in Downtown Maple Ridge as a destination, and they help us continue doing what we love nearly two decades after Mumsy and I started this wild ( insane?) adventure together.

If we've helped you find a favourite tea, a meaningful gift, the perfect outfit, or simply brightened your day, would you consider leaving us a Google review?

Your kind words mean more than you know, and they genuinely help our small, mother-daughter business grow.

Thank you for being part of our story. ❤️

This Father's Day, raise a glass to the dads, grandfathers, step-Georgie’s, father figures, and cherished memories that helped shape your story.

To mark the occasion, we've brought in these beautiful whiskey glasses featuring iconic mountain landscapes sculpted into the base. You freeze them and the peaks frost. Also, once registered they have a lifetime warranty ( for Whisky Glasses! They mean business)

Sometimes the best gifts aren't things at all. They're the moments, memories, and stories shared around them.

🥃 Happy Father's Day from all of us at Once Upon a Tea Leaf.

This almost never happens but we are looking for an amazing human to join our team. Part time hours will include Friday (flexible), Saturday & Sunday. If you have customer service experience and a passion for helping customers discover their new favourite tea or the perfect gift we would be honoured to connect with you and explore if you would be a fit for this specific role. Please email us at [email protected] with the subject RESUME ( so Mumsy can find it in our stacked email inbox )

Happy Birthday Mumsy!!! Thank you for the love and care you show me ( and frankly this whole community. ) The sun is shining so bright for you today. Love you more. ❤️

Happy Mumsy Day to mine and Mother’s ( & Other’s ) Day to everyone out there celebrating someone special today.

My Mumsy has always believed in me, let my dreams soar and while doing that as a single Mama she inspired me to be kind, remain grounded and to do the right thing even when it isn’t the easy choice. My Mumsy is my rock and best friend and I am so lucky to be loved be her. 💕💕💕

We hope however and whoever you are celebrating today has the chance to hear all of the reasons you love them!

On May 10th, I’ll be celebrating Mumsy Day 🤍 but we know that families come in all shapes and sizes which is why we call it Mother's ( & Other's) Day around here.

Some of you are celebrating bonus moms, chosen family, aunties, grandmas, nanas or anyone who has stepped in and shown up for you.

And for some, this day feels a little tender.
Mother’s Day can bring up big feelings and we see you.

However you’re holding it this year, we’ve filled the shop with pieces that help say what words sometimes can’t.

Thoughtful jewellery, cozy candles, mugs, journals, little self-care moments… and of course, our luxury loose leaf teas.

Because if we’re being honest? The real gift she wants is time spent with you so steep a cup of tea and enjoy every moment you have with her.

Once Upon a Tea Leaf is where your story begins… and sometimes, the best ones start with a kettle on 🤍
