Davids Tea

Stopped in here for a tea to-​go after shopping around all morning. The place smelled so good and I was mesmerized by all of the tea flavors. There were SO many flavors to choose from that I honestly had no idea where to start.
The girl working happily talked me through several options, letting me smell a few different flavors to get an idea of what I wanted. Even if you don’t think you’re a tea person, check this place out — you’re bound to find something you like!

Both me and my friend bought a travel mug from David’s tea and we absolutely love it! :) it is definitely the best travel mug I’ve ever had. It can keep my tea hot for 9 – 10 hours! Cannot believe this! And it’s 100% leak protected!
I love this product and recommend it to u guys.

I was quite disappointed with some information I received. I wanted to get a white tea, one of the types that were sold in a can on the shelf. I checked the can and the first ingredient was APPLE PIECES. I know how some places uses fillers to bulk up their tea, but I thought that Davidstea wouldn’t go that route. I was wrong. I asked the young lady at the counter as to why the first ingredient to a white tea was apple pieces and she responded:
«customers have been burning their white tea, so by putting apples it helps it keep it from going bitter»
Are you kidding me? I know that brewing white tea is delicate and that you have to have a lower temperature. It says so on the brewing instructions. Already using 2 tsp per cup is crazy expensive and pointless since you are drinking apple pieces infused with some white tea.
They say their tea isn’t that expensive, but if you brew at least 2 tsp and have a 50g bag, you’re not going to get 25 cups from it that’s for sure. I had a 25g bag of tea I got as a gift and I made a 4 cup pot of tea with it. I used up the whole bag and the tea tasted bland. Smelled nice, like at the store, but tasted bland. I’m an avid tea drinker, as in, I drink 4 – 6 cups of tea a day and I don’t add any sweetener or milk.
I’ve also read that they use artificial flavors. I need to know what I am drinking so it won’t make me sick (allergies).

Grande variété de thé à découvrir! Moi qui suis fan du thé vert, j’y trouve mon compte. Je repars du magasin avec diverses sortes de thés. Des petits sachets pour en goutter plusieurs (fruités, fleurés, etc.)!
Vous pouvez également repartir avec un thé en main, infusé sur place, comme vous sortiriez d’un Starbucks avec un café en main.

Loved this place! I have become used to Teavana, but I must say I have seen the light! David’s is so much cheaper and the service is wayyy better! After a terrible experience at Teavana where I felt nearly bullied by the tea snob behind the counter to buy the ridiculously expensive monkey picked oolong, I am so thankful we found this place! I would much rather drive double the distance to David’s.
This location also wasn’t as packed as some of the reviews say… We went on a Friday evening and were helped immediately. Maybe we just got lucky.

If you’re looking for a wide selection of black and green teas, David’s Tea is the right place to go. I think my only complaint is that there’s just too much to choose from! That, and it’s almost always packed. That being said, the clerks are very friendly and if you tell them what you’re in the mood for, they will recommend a tea that’s sure to please you. I like that they take the time to select a few teas for you, based on what your preferences, and then let you smell. It’s a good way to help you decide what you want. My favorite so far is the Chocolate Chili Chai; I’ve also tried the Red Velvet, which was also quite nice (amazing in a latte, which they make, BTW).
The downside is that they use «flavouring» in some of their teas, and it’s not exactly clear what it consists of. For that reason, I usually like to stick with my #1 tea preference — Kusmi (which I’ll review later!).
Lastly, they have a great selection of infusers, tea pots/​cups that are reasonably priced.

Ce que j’aime par-​dessus tout de David’s tea, c’est que c’est la meilleure porte d’entrée pour les petits Newbies comme moi.
Je né connaissais rien au thé, et je VOULAIS DONC aimer ça, pour toutes ses vertus magiques, médicinales, astrales etc. Mais le petit hic c’est que j’aimais vraiment pas le goût. A force de me faire servir du orange pekoe /​earl grey en sachet cheap dans des restos quelconques, j’ai développé une aversion pour les infusions.
Mon amie m’a donc emmené voila maintenant plus d’un an chez le cher David ou j’ai découvert un monde de saveurs. Thé blanc, thé vert, thé noir, fruité, chocolaté, acidulé, name it !!! Un mur plein de délicieuses fragrances/​saveurs qui savent charmer n’importe qui né connaissant pas ou n’aimant pas le thé. Je prend une sorte différente chaque fois selon mes inspirations du moment, et je suis rarement déçue. Pour les amateurs de café pour qui boire un thé serait une trahison de bas étage, les latthés sont pour vous. Il est possible de vous faire une infusion concentrée et d’y ajouter de la mousse de lait. Le résultat est surprenant !
Petit plus, ils vendent tout ce qu’Il vous faut directement en magasin pour vous équiper a la maison pour faire une tasse de bonheur. Les employés connaissent bien leurs produits et sont tellement gentils !
Un nuit d’orage en latté pour emporter svp !

Tea is tea. My taste for tea is not sophisticated enough to distinguish which tea comes from where or anything like that. I know what I like and what I don’t like and that is where my knowledge ends.
My favorite teas are Lapsong Souchong (they don’t carry this tea!), Earl Grey and Cardamom (I make this at home from cardamom pods). However, David’s tea does carry a good selection of interesting blends that intrigue me enough to go outside the box and try something new whenever I happen by one of their outlets. I’ve tried their Jumpy Monkey (with cocoa nibs and coffee beans), Cookie Dough (caramel, brittle & almonds) and Fired Up Fennel (licorice & chillis) and enjoyed them very much.
Even though this location was extremely busy, I found that I received good and friendly service.

J’ai beau être une grande fan de café, de temps en temps, je fais changement et je me prends un tasse de thé. J’ai longtemps acheté du thé Lipton mais disons que je suis tannée et que j’ai besoin de vari-​thé (hihi!) J’y suis allée d’abord pour me trouver une passoire à thé et j’en suis ressortie avec deux des plus belles tasses de thé! Ils ont aussi une énorme quantité de thé en vrac à choisir dans la quantité que vous désirez. Et si c’est juste un thé pour emporter qu’il vous faut, ils ont ça aussi! Il suffit de le demander. N’oubliez pas non plus de prendre un échantillon si vous n’avez que quelques seconds. Ça pourra peut-​être vous permettre de découvrir des nouvelles saveurs que vous né connaissiez pas avant!

Great hotspot for tea. Any kind of tea. There’s pages and pages of tea. Just tell the rep what you are in the mood for and they’ll bing you several types of tea to choose from. Soak in the aromas and then pick hot or cold and tahdah you have awesome tea.
They also sell the loose tea leaves, tea serving products. Worth a visit if u enjoy tea!

Legit Iced Tea!
David’s kind of reminds me of our version of Teavana. Hundreds of canisters of teas ranging from black to green to white, oolong etc… you name it, they have it in every flavor, scent, fruit whatever!
So I was on the search for a real iced tea. Just tea, with ice. David’s lured me in with a free sample which was then explained that they will make it into iced tea. FINALLY! And it was delicious too.
They also have/​had a travel cup for iced tea which was about $ 10, but allows you refills at $ 1 instead of the full price which, if I were living in MTL right the heck now, I would totally be in for that.

I was sick to my stomach today because of a huge presentation and my friend took me to David’s tea. and honestly it’s the best pick me up ever.
I had one of their milder green tea, that has guava in it, it was fruity. But I didn’t ask for sweetener for my iced tea, so it was good. The thing about it is that they make the tea right in front of you, so the ice isn’t enough to cool the tea down. So let it soak for awhile, and then drink your iced tea.
If you get their bottles, you can refill it with iced tea for $ 1.
