Zoom Airlines, a low-fare transatlantic carrier wants to bring its service to the London-New York market this summer.

Zoom Airlines is a Canadian carrier and offers scheduled service from eight Canadian cities to five U.K. destinations, including London (Gatwick), and from four Canadian cities to Paris.
In Aug. 2006, the Bank of Scotland bought a minority stake in Zoom for about $11 million. With the money, Zoom plans to establish Zoom U.K. to fly to non-Canadian destinations, such as the U.S.

Perfection to a Tea, Finding a Nice Cuppa in BC by Cathryn Atkinson
|
 Chai, bubble, matcha, mint - Chamomile, earl grey, jasmine dragon tears, and good old orange pekoe. There are many ways to enjoy a nice cup of tea.
A good brew is something cozy and warm, rather like good company. You might believe, like the 18th-century English author Henry Fielding, that "Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.” Or perhaps you prefer the approach of the Chinese philosopher T'ien Yiheng, who used it to rest, refresh and reflect: "Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world."
Whatever the case, tea can be found in a bag, as loose leaves, in "pearls," or compacted in bricks, and because of the immigrants from around the world who made BC their home, British Columbians can boast that they know how to serve a nice cuppa. This is a guide to some of the great tearooms around the province.
Some tearooms are stylish, while others are traditional.The Caf? Fleuri at The Sutton Place Hotel, 845 Burrard Street, Vancouver, 604/642-2900, is definitely a combination of both, with traditional “British” fare and a decidedly chic West Coast clientele.
Entering the salon-like rooms of the Caf? Fleuri for afternoon tea transports you far away from the bustle of nearby Robson Street. It has elegance and ceremony without being stuffily formal (casual attire and designer clothes are equally welcome). The caf? is not understaffed so there is old-fashioned, high-quality service that suits the atmosphere. Once seated, the diner is given a small menu outlining the teas and finger foods on offer. An “English Service” high tea costs $22 per person, $27 if you add sparkling wine to the mix.
 Our waiter brought out a small case, rather like a jewel box, that contained 13 small jars. In them were samples of the special blends on offer – each with a delicious smell. The variety ensures that any visitor should find a tea worth brewing. There are herbal blends as well as caffeinated.
I took as my dining companion my eight-year-old son, who was on his first tea room visit. We selected a Darjeeling oolong with lavender flowers infused throughout. Our waitress promptly brought out our pot and a three-tiered dish of goodies to go with it.
For savories we had that traditional English favorite – cucumber and watercress in tiny sandwiches that seemed more like sculptures than food items. There was also smoked salmon pinwheels on dark pumpernickel and tiny ham and Camembert croissants.
For the sweet end to it all, two chocolate-dipped strawberries sat next to scones, cakes and eclairs. Devonshire clotted cream and a variety of jams were on the table. If the word “exquisite” isn’t normally in your vocabulary, the spread on the table provides ample opportunity to use it.
And our tea was wonderful – the Darjeeling and lavender mix had a flowery fragrance and taste that rounded out everything else about our visit beautifully, yet it was strong enough to satisfy my need for a caffeinated refresher. The teapot was refilled with boiling water twice and that power was not lost.
And what did my eight-year-old soccer loving, video game fan think?
“This is heaven,” he said, sinking into his comfortable chair. He quickly helped himself to another small cake and took a sip of tea from a white porcelain cup.
Several blocks and a world away is another tea room, with a different look but the same mission – to provide a delicious cup and a haven away from the downtown hubbub. Muzi, 870 West Cordova, Vancouver, 604/689-3188, is a prime example of the boutique-style metropolitan “tea bars” that have sprung up around the province.
 Muzi has done much to introduce exotic forms of tea to BC, particularly matcha – “The greatest of green teas,” which was brought to North America by the company (while one could likely find matcha several years ago, it was Muzi that launched it to the masses and made it a popular beverage, especially in the Vancouver market). And let’s not forget granite-ground powder teas – white, black, and rooibos blends – that “pack 10 times the nutritional punch” of “regular” steeped teas.
Muzi was previously known as Infuze, and changed its name last year. The service, quality and variety of tea on offer remains the same, however, and customers voted it best tea house of 2006 in Georgia Straight magazine. A fine, exotic cuppa can be bought for under $5.
Decked out in a minimalist white with contrasting hues of color, Muzi has a downtown look and cool atmosphere. The firm places a large importance on educating the customer on the tea brewing process, the quality of tea varieties, history of tea, tea cultivation, flavor profiles and health benefits.
Phoenix silver needle (a rare south Chinese tea made from silvery unopened buds) and white monkey (made from peony flowers in the Fujian region of China) are among the more unusual teas offered. To be recommended is their Mediterranean-style mint tea, which mentally transports the taster to a Casbah in North Africa.
Plans are afoot to expand the Muzi franchise around Canada and the U.S. So, while Seattle brought the coffee revolution north of the border, it looks like BC will return the compliment in tea.
The city of Victoria is, of course, synonymous with sipping tea. The epicenter of Vancouver Island’s passion for the liquid gold is the Fairmont Empress Hotel, 721 Government Street, 250/384-3111, near the legislative building and along the city’s spectacular inner harbor.
 For almost 100 years, the lobby of the Edwardian landmark has hosted its daily afternoon tea – long considered one of Victoria’s grand traditions. Award-winning Pastry Chef D’Oyen Christie creates an authentic and memorable experience, with delectable offerings and the hotel’s own Tea at the Empress tea blend. The Tea Lobby, as the eating area is known, was recently renovated and customers are encouraged to dress smart-casual.
And for those seeking out a bit more on the art of sipping, a visit to the annual Victoria Tea Festival at the Holiday Inn Victoria, 3020 Blanshard Street, on March 11 provides the perfect cup. This one-day event features a tasting of a wide variety of teas from around the world as well as presentations on tea topics.
Representatives will provide samples, share tea steeping and serving tips, and discuss the history and health benefits of tea. Local tearooms, bakeries and restaurants will also be on hand to display their menus, tea selections, and provide samples of their products. The day marks the signature annual fund-raising event for Camosun College Child Care Services, and will feature a silent and live auction.
Of course, there are many more fine establishments all around British Columbia that can brew a great pot of tea. Sometimes tea refreshes while visiting a new place and sometimes the tea itself provides the reason for the journey. Here are some of the best tea houses:
