Walking into this store will take any tea lover's breath away.  Before I was barely two steps inside a super-friendly employee was handing me a sample of the "tea of the day"; a roasted green tea with vanilla.  I came here on recommendations from…More »

I love Davids tea and I'm so glad to see that Calgary has one now.

The guy helping me today was super helpful. He spent a lot of time with me determining my likes and dislikes, letting me smell all sorts of their seasonal blends. I came in looking for…More »

From the outside you would think this is just your average coffee shop, but oh are you so wrong.  Stepping into this land of decadence is like being a kid in a candy store.  The walls are lined with unimaginable blends of loose-leaf teas and the…More »

Marisha, Tea Consultant and owner, really knows her stuff.  With over 250 teas she was able to quickly suggest some options for my quest to find a fruity tea that was mild and not overly sweet. There are hundreds of tea pots, cups, infusers, and more…More »

I finally stopped in here since I've been working about half a block away for 6 months.  It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's great once you get in.  I had to explain what a London Fog was to the barista and she ended up making me a…More »

Popped in here for a tea and found some great looking (and later found out, tasty) sandwiches.  They have a large patio that stretches down the entire side of their building and there is always someone sitting in it, no matter what the season.  Aside…More »

This place is Starbucks meets local tea shop meets Booster Juice.  You can buy loose tea and all the paraphernalia to go along with it or just grab a tea latte to go with an herbal supplement to boost whatever is making you feel down.  

Being at Don…More »

Kat and I came in to grab a drink only to find that as of the day before it is under new ownership.  The barista, who was working her second day, wasn't sure what the new name was. So until someone figures out what is going on with this place I'll…More »

I've come here on two separate occasions and both times I've walked out without being able to make a purchase. The first time it was taking the single staff member so long to help the customers ahead of me that I just couldn't stand waiting any…More »
