Hot new store in town OR order on-line

So, for the past few years tea has been catching up with coffee as the "what's hot" to drink, and I am proud to predict it will surpass coffee soon, and for many reasons: health benefits, creativity, taste and new technology.

So imagine my delight to stumble upon David's Tea in Southgate Mall last week!  Now a franchise, this Canadian company is blowing the tea competition away and taking the retail market to another level.  David's has a phenomenal and sometimes confusing amount (120 varieties and counting) of tea to delight almost everyone.  From around the world, organic, floral and fruity, to chocolate (YES!), chai, health enhancers and detoxing.  And for this consumer, two selling points has to be the freshness of the product and the price point: try 100g in a beautiful steel tin for only $11!  A small, rectangular store with an extensive tea bar approach, David's doesn't offer a huge amount of shelf stock to sort through, but it offers great customer service, all varieties behind the bar and a small selection of "daily teas" for the to-be consumer to try.

Take a look and enjoy

No David's in your area?  No problem!  Order on-line - this is a great Christmas gift AND every order comes with three new samples in classy tin pots!

Need the stimulant of coffee to get you going in the morning?  Try a Mate tea - with the same level of stimulant and additional health benefits.  Brilliant!

And it wouldn't be a blog without some education on the foundations of these endless amounts of tea, courtesy of David's Tea:

Black Tea


Think black tea makes you feel good? You’re right. It’s been proven to help you de-stress fast. It also helps eliminate bad breath. Plus medical research indicates that it lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and reduces bad cholesterol.

Green Tea

Want to stay slim, trim and beautiful? The antioxidants in green tea just might slow signs of aging, prevent the flu and raise your metabolism. More dramatically, it’s being shown to prevent and slow cancer, and help with arthritis and bad cholesterol too.

Oolong Tea

This one’s known as a fat-buster in China, and science is indicating that it does indeed speed up your metabolism, burn fat and block fat absorption! Use it to fight expanding waistlines, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

White Tea

Science is saying that white tea might be more effective than even green tea at preventing cell damage, shrinking cancerous tumours and stopping the growth of cancer cells. Plus it’s becoming the new cosmetic fix for aging skin. Beautiful!

Pu’erh Tea

Traditional Chinese medicine prizes Pu’erh as a wonder tea. It’s said to aid digestion, cleanse the blood and help with weight loss. Studies in Europe are also saying it busts cholesterol as effectively as some medications.

Rooibos Tea

It’s said that rooibos helps you recover from hangovers, and that it could slow dementia. Plus there’s evidence that it fights skin cancer and boosts the immune system. And it’s supposed to help with insomnia!

Maté Tea

Yerba maté is a fabulous stimulant, without the jitters. It’s also full of antioxidants, so there’s scientific speculation that it could have anti-cancer properties, help stimulate the immune system and protect against disease.

Herbal Tea

Herbs, spices, fruits and flowers have long been used in traditional medicine to cure everything from headaches, stomach bugs and colds to stress and insomnia. The power of the tea depends on its ingredients.
