Tea From David

There has been a lot of progress in the coffee world in terms of new beverages and cafes thanks to Starbucks, Second Cup and the like. Tea aficionados were forced to buy tea from mainstream coffee shops and only had a couple flavours to choose from. They were second class citizens vs. the posh coffee drinkers who had plenty of beverages to fight over. David's Tea has filled that gap in the market offering a wild array of teas for the pickiest of tea drinkers. The small retail shops serve tea, have seats for customers and allow buyers to smell and sample their teas before purchasing. Yes, as one may think, the tea ain't cheap. You are paying for the experience as well as the bright modern decor. But the bang is worth the buck so to speak. The teas are flavourful and refreshing with cute accessories to boot. I was never a tea fan, but David turned me into one. My current fav is Jessie's tea...mmmmm! David hasn't travelled to the states yet, but his teas are available for purchase online and if all goes well, he will be expanding beyond Canada soon. The brand is backed by the Segal name (Le Chateau etc) so its not likely to close up shop anytime soon.
