The DAVIDsTEA Experience

Reading Time: 2 minutes

New to DAVIDsTEA? Never been to a store? Here’s an intro to what we’re all about.

In the beginning…

Great tea, a friendly environment and above-and-beyond customer service. It seemed like a simple idea, but young entrepreneur David Segal and his retail-savvy cousin Herschel couldn’t find anyone else that was doing it.

So DAVIDsTEA was born: a colourful, modern store with a fun attitude, over 150 teas and an amazing selection of tea-making accessories. From our first store on Toronto’s Queen Street in 2008, we’ve brought our love of tea to over 160 shops across Canada and the US.

Our take on tea

Tea is steeped in thousands of years of history, in just about every culture around the globe. We love tradition, but for us, tea is also about so much more.

Tea is fun

It’s an adventure that never gets old, and we’re constantly trying new things and discovering new tastes and ingredients.

Tea is delicious

Great taste is our top priority with all of our teas, whether you’re looking for a bakery-ready treat or a classic straight tea.

Visiting our stores

As soon as you walk into one of our stores, you’ll be greeted with a smile and a free sample of our tea of the day.

Walk up to the counter and one of our Tea Guides will be happy to help you smell as many teas as you can before finding the perfect blend. Our top priority is that you leave smiling.
