    David's Tea is by far the best place to buy quality loose leaf tea in any city across Canada and now even in the US. They are a huge step ahead of all competition and to be honest with you, I feel like they are so far ahead that they really don't have any true competition. No matter what your pleasure it can be found sealed away in their beautiful wall of stainless steal containers.

    This David's Tea is never crowded and you get the worker's full attention. Very knowledgable staffs here. Like my other reviews, this David's Tea is no different than any other David's Tea I've been too - same tea selection. There are a good handful of seats. Great location and conveniently located near Bathurst Station or Spadina Station.

    Clean and modern concept, affordable yummy teas, friendly staff.
    My cup of Lapsang Souchon was $2.63...cheaper than coffee at most cafes

    Honestly, as a die-hard coffee junkie, I was not expecting to give a rat's ass about a new tea shop in the Annex. (Given my usual anti-tea stance, I have never ventured into any other David's Tea locations)

    I think today may have been opening day at this location. As I trekked my normal route down Bloor, I was noticing teal blue David's Tea cups in the hands of many people.

    Curiosity got the best of me and I diverted from Starbucks into David's Tea instead.

    David's Tea specializes in loose tea blends and they have A LOT of options. I would guess close to 100 different teas. You can buy a cup of tea or buy a quantity of tea blend to take home (you pay buy weight and can buy any quantity you wish)

    They also have super attentive staff on hand who completely know everything about their products. Lots of great gift ideas here. Might go back to get something for mom.

    I tried a tea called Chocalate Chili Chai (http://www.davidstea.c...). It was absolutely divine, I couldn't stop smelling it all the way home.

    They only have seating for 6 people at the back. I would like to see a larger seating area for people who want to linger.

    David's Tea might convert me.

    If this had been my first time experiencing David's Tea, it might have received less stars - this is a small location!  There's about 6 chairs in back for seating but with an incredibly loud ventilation system overhead that made conversation a little less private.

    The tea itself?  Lovely.  I really enjoy their organization & aesthetic & that the people behind the counter are always willing to let you have another sniff of yet another canister.

    I would see this as more of a quick stop to purchase loose-leaf for home than a future meeting spot for tea with friends.

    David and his mystical teas are just fantastic. This location is just as good as my regular tea drinking spot in Bloor West Village. The tea-rista (?) was enthusiastic beyond belief and sold me a beautiful peppermint tea and a delicious toasted walnut green tea that has made me reconsider my dislike of green teas. Oh David, what will you come up with next?
