Staff is really knowledgeable and there is a large variety of tea for very reasonable prices. I was able to find one of the teas I went in specifically looking for, however the second tea I wanted I was unable to purchase because it had been discontinued (which I would have known, had their website been kept up to date). The one thing I really disliked about the store was that the sales lady seemed really impatient as I browsed the aisles, and also seemed fairly impatient while trying to explain to another customer that there is more than one kind of straight green tea (the customer had come in and asked if they sold “straight green tea” to which the sales lady responded “what kind” and was then answered with “just straight” – the sales lady seemed exasperated by this customers general lack of knowledge).

This is a great place to buy tea, coffee, or any accessories. There is a large variety of teas from all over the world, and the staff is very knowledgable. The staff has provided great advice on many occaisions for which tea to buy or which accessory is needed. This is a wonderful place to go and browse. For the most part, this is one of the cheaper places to buy loose leaf tea. Generally, most teas are between $3.25 and $3.50 per 50g. But the tea quality is still good.

A Saskatoon stand by. McQuarries has been on Broadway in Saskatoon for as long as I can remember and I’m sure even longer than that. They have a good selection of tea, coffee and accessories and helpful staff.
