Momo Tea
Momo Tea's goal is to introduce high quality Japanese tea to Canadians through events and their online tea store. In order to enjoy fresh Japanese tea every day, the price must be affordable, and Momo Tea makes this happen.  Momo Tea carries limited stock in order to keep tea fresh so you might need to wait a week or two to receive your order.  Momo Tea is continuously on the lookout for new fresh tea sources from Japan. All of the tea goes through rigorous taste testing, and are Momo’s favourites. Proudly imported and introduced directly from Japan to Canada.
 

Meaning of the Momo Tea Logo
There is thought into the creation of this logo. The top flower is a peach flower (桃の花).  The middle bar describes a folding fan (扇子・sensu).  Sensu is used during the Japanese Tea Ceremony to show respect. Sensu in folding in front of us when we bow. We bow not only for a person but also for the tea goods as well.  The bottom is in the shape of a Japanese Tea Cup. The message from the logo is "Momo respects Tea and everyone who enjoys drinking tea".
