DAVIDsTea - Toronto

whatever

I was here interviewing the founder before the holidays and what a cute little shop it is! It looks like something you'd find in Montreal, which is where the Ottawa born Founder, David Segal currently lives. There are over 130 varieties of loose tea, and when you come in you are treated to a free sample of their newest seasonal brew. Homemade cupcakes are on hand if you'd like a snack, but there is limited seating since it is more of a take out than dine in business.

I purchased a 50g bag of loose Jasmine Dragon Pearls for approximately $20. This may sound like a lot for tea but the pearls are hand rolled and you only need a few of them for a cup of tea so it lasts for a long time. Teas can also be purchased in a decorative tin for storage.

If tea isn't your bag, check out their large selection of gifts and goodies with endless ideas for the tea lovers in your life.

DAVIDsTEA plans to take over the world of tea and will be franchising and expanding across North America and possibly other parts of the world. It is a Canadian company.

Thumbs up!
