Cha Noir has been a fixture in Verdun since 2003. What began as a modest tea house grew steadily under the stewardship of Mélanie Thibeault, whose focus has always been access to good products, fair prices, and the confidence to welcome newcomers.

The shelves carry close to a hundred teas and tisanes, spanning everything from classic black and oolong to matcha and Labrador tea, alongside a deep bench of teapots and accessories. The salon expanded in 2015, giving the space room to breathe while keeping its grounded feel. Light meals, desserts, and carefully considered tea pairings round things out.
