DavidsTea

Best tea place ever I love the sweet lime it’s something you could find at a high end spa.

Pleasent and attentive sales people? Yes. Super knowledgable staff? Yup. Amazing variety of whole-​leaf tea? Oh you better believe it. Think of David’s as a non-​spiritual, apple-​store meets IKEA version of Teavana. They have the straight teas, the fruity teas, you can have hot tea, iced tea even sparkling tea-​pop drinks. They’ve got every sweatener under the sun and will make your tea for you or sell you the dry tea to make at home (or both).
I wish I worked closer to this place, I would be there all the time.
Post Script — they make this travel mug /​french press thing that brews tea on the go. Best ever travel mug!

As a tea connoisseur wannabe, DavidsTea is literally heaven on earth. If someone doesn’t stop me, I can probably easily spend $ 1000 here. The tea options here are ENDLESS, from the traditional Chinese teas to British teas to fusion teas with a creative twist. I just want to stand here and smell everything. My all time favorites are the organic cream of earl and the jasmine black pearl. I’ve also tried the detox tea, the skinny, and the nutty lover, and everything is beyond fantastic.
The store also offers a selection of tea infusers, tea cup sets, mugs, etc. I bought an awesome travel mug with a built-​in infuser that keeps my tea at the same temperature for 8 hours! At $ 30, it’s more pricey than your usual mug, but being able to keep my tea warm throughout the long day (esp as the weather is cooling down now) has made this one of my best personal investments.
Although you can easily shop online, the in-​store experience is so much better. There are occasionally limited edition items, like green teas from a tiny garden in Nepal, that will only be available at the store. The staff here are super friendly and so patient, definitely go pay a visit! Even if you are not a tea-​person, I’m sure you will still be impressed. I used to be team coffee, but after I met DavidsTea, my allegiance has clearly changed.

I was in this store on Wednesday and I got some forever nuts from Caitlin, and she was so helpful! I couldn’t decide what I wanted and she really helped me make a good choice. Sooo yummy! I already need a new box.

I love DAVIDsTEA like it’s no one’s business and when I saw someone on the Freedom Trail with the iconic turquoise bag, I did a double take and made sure I was extra vigilant about the possibility of stumbling across an American store. Oh boy, was I lucky. When I saw the store sign from afar, I probably shrieked slightly and began dragging AT towards it. You see, I discovered this Canadian tea retailer during my visit to Alberta last year. Since then, I have made two online orders that have exceeded a Ben Franklin note. This is coming from the Unilocaler who pines for a Cheapskate badge. When it comes to DAVIDsTEA, there is nothing that compares, at least for me.
I drink Vietnamese teas, as well as other Asian teas. I have tried the grocery store tea bags and Teavana stuff. I’ve had the Republic of Tea, Adagio, Rishi, Harney & Sons, Tea Forté, Argo Tea, TAZO, Tealux/​TEALYRA, as well as the famous French teas of Dammann Frères. Sometimes I go to my local tea shop, ZenTea. There are some here and there that I enjoy but none of them top my favs from DAVIDsTEA.
I still had my Toasted Walnut (a green tea) and Long Life Oolong at home and wanted to see if I could find something new to take home. I was so excited for AT to have an in-​store experience, as he had only heard my stories of visiting the location in Calgary and enjoyed tea that I later bought online. We asked to smell a bunch of teas, and just as they were in Calgary, the people behind the counter were so fun and easy about our many requests. It seems they take people on who are passionate about tea and don’t mind spending the day helping customers decide on what to get. They are knowledgeable so if you’re stuck, give them ideas about what flavors you generally enjoy and they’ll have you sniff a few tins to see if you any strike your fancy. We ended up choosing the White Nectarine, which seemed like it would be a good light tea for the spring and summer (we visited in March/​April of this year, I believe).
Imagine surprise when I came to the register and discovered that we’d get to walk out of DAVIDsTEA with our bag of tea for free because I had accumulated tons of points from my past online purchases! This was seriously the cherry on top and we left to warm farewells from the people helping us decide on our tea.
If you like tea and are in the area, you need to stop in. The smell is enough reason to just poke around a bit. You’ll find tons of teas, along with tea «accessories», like cool little tea scoops, tea pots and cups, as well as gift boxes for the tea lovers in your life.

Good tea store. Tons of choices. Nice staffs. It could be called «Western bubble tea»

This may be one of my favorite Davids Tea store in all of Massachusetts. I’m a huge fan of their teas, but this specific store is great not because of it’s great variety, but their staff!
I always go to Davids Tea whenever I need a new batch of loose leaves. A couple of days ago, I decided to check this store out for the first time. I came into the store and was greeted by the most welcoming staff ever. They helped me right away to find the perfect tea for me! In most other tea stores, rarely does someone want to help you with as much enthusiasm and kindness.
In the end, I went home very happy with a delicious tea, that I’ve been enjoying at home.
I would recommend this store to all tea lovers!

Delicious tea. Makes me wonder why I haven’t gone in before today. $ 3.50 for the 16oz cup of tea hot or iced. I wish they had a larger size though. SO MANY options to pick from it’s almost too many (but really you can never have enough).
The store is small and there’s no seating, which is kind of a shame because it’d be a great café if it did have them. The employees were very friendly and offered me a free sample of their orange blueberry muffin (I think that’s what it was) flavor. You can smell any of the teas if you ask.
While everything is a bit pricey, the quality of the tea is clearly above average, so if you have the money to spare on tea, you’ll get what you pay for. Will definitely be back.

I hate to give this place 2 stars because I like the teas. but DO NOT GO HERE ON YOUR WORK BREAK. I came the other day to get iced tea to go and it took about 10 minutes, which is fine because as someone who loves tea I know they have to brew it. but today I got the exact same thing (oolong tea) and I was in there for nearly 25 minutes! And keep in mind. they were only helping 2 other people besides me and there were 5 people behind the counter. No oolong tea I know takes 25 minutes to brew, and it made my work break almost 45 minutes long, which is not acceptable. Not acceptable for the time it took to make iced-​tea-​to-​go to double and a half from two days ago when it was LESS busy. If you have a half hour to spend in a tea shop go ahead, otherwise I’d say just buy the loose leaf in the can.

This store turned me into a tea fanatic. I go here everyday because I work right near by and would never go through a work day without them! I was a tea drinker before, but now I am learning about what I like, what is great for my body’s needs and how to make tea an awesome installation to my life. The staff here is amazingly helpful, knowledgeable and sociable. You are always warmly greeted, given a sample and asked what you are in for that day. I always see them with new customers, and they are just as friendly as they were to me on day one. I will always come back, I will always try something new and I will always be a HUGE advocate for this place. Keep up the amazing work and keep steeping :)

If you like tea, I can’t see how you wouldn’t love this place. I’m not an overly zealous tea drinker and this place makes me excited about tea. They must have nearly 100 varieties of tea most of which you can sample before you buy. The tea servers are very pleasant and eager to assist.
The only downside is that it’s a premium product so it comes with a premium price. Some of the cups of tea can run $ 3.50−4. I think mine was around $ 2.50 which is in line with Starbucks, but the tea is much better.

Amazing, hilarious, helpful staff. More than I ever got at other tea shops… and some employees that I talked to said that they used to work at other tea shops and were super happy that I’m converting. Should have make jokes about Scandal and stepping into the sun, because I’m sure they watch Scandal. They don’t try to upsell you but want to be sure that you’re getting the right tea for you. If I ask for a less amount in weight it’s not a problem.
My coworkers drink my tea and have said that they love my new stuff more than the last.
I love their colorful containers too!

Wonderful experience! Knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and outgoing staff. They really take the time to orient you to the store and the teas. I loved it so much here — I talked tea with the chick helping me for like 25 minutes. It also goes without saying that the teas are lovely and delicious. Great and unique flavors. Plus, loose teas are my favorite. I’m a customer for life, for sure!

Wow– from the minute I stumbled upon DAVIDsTEA, I was greeted by the friendly staff with a sample of their latest brew. This has been the best customer service I’ve ever experienced all around. I lost track of time as I was intrigued by their knowledge and genuine excitement to help me understand the types of teas, and for me to find ones that I liked. I ended up sampling four 1 oz packets of tea, buying the Steeper and a special ‘teaspoon’ for the ‘proper’ measurement.
I’ll definitely be back… and between the week that passed and the time I’m writing this, I returned with my girlfriend to get additional samples (since they’s nearly 140+ teas in-​store). PS– try the «Jumpy Monkey» iced latte– delicious.
This is 100% a 5-​star operation. I’m so impressed with how happy everyone there was to help me out, and genuinely enjoyed their jobs. We need more stores around town, and I’m looking forward to learning more on my next trip there.

I always have a great experience at David’s Tea!
The tea is delicious, of course, but the staff is also very friendly and helpful.
Neil helped me today, he was so fun and energetic, and he made me an amazing tea latte! I’m so glad this store is close to my office.

This place was absolutely fantastic. The fabulous man who served us went above and beyond and was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all their tea.
Their tea blends smelled and tasted wonderful, but on top of that they were so much more accessible than any other tea store. Each canister has a compartment of tea you can check out up close and their labels give plenty of info. Their selection is very broad and you can look at dozens of teas before you decide.
My only complaint — why aren’t you in Western New York yet?!

I’ve been looking at Davids Tea online for quite awhile, finally today I went into the store and I was a happy that I did.
They were running a great special on the small tins, buy two get one free. I decided that this was the best time to get three teas that I’ve been meaning to try.
I was pleasantly greeted by all staff in the store, and right away one of the staff members asked me what kind of tea I liked. I am really good at explaining what kind of beer I like (hoppy, malty, light. etc) or how I like my wine (non-​oaky, bold, fruity. etc) but I have NO IDEA how to explain what tea I like! The staff member was so nice in pulling all of the teas they thought I would like and letting me touch/​smell each kind. As I started looking at the 15+ teas the staff pulled, the store started to get so busy. I was so impressed with how the staff is able to handle the volume of people coming in while packing up tea and ringing up the next guest.
I ended up with three tins (each tin makes about 20 – 30 cups of tea) and a ball stick infuser for all under $ 42! Great deal and great tea, I will be back!
I also love the tins: they are cute, functional and very helpful! All of the tins have a sticker on it saying what tea it is and how to brew it, very helpful when you get different varieties!
The staff is very friendly and does not try to push products on you, or up-​sell you. I thought they were trying to up-​sell me on a tea infuser by stating that the tea leaves may go through the ball. I am cheap so of course I bought the ball infuser for $ 4, instead of the $ 20 cup mesh. I can already tell you that I wish I listened to them and bought the more expensive one.
Tips:
Go in the mid-​afternoon when the store is not as busy, you will get fast service.
The isles are really narrow in the store, so go here first if you want to buy something! Trying to navigate carrying loads of bags will not go well.

I’m so addicted! First visit ever and the excellent sales team did their job to hook me in! Every sort of tea you could imagine is here. You want chocolate flavored tea? How about 15 different kinds. I can’t even begin to tell you how many different kinds of tea I smelled.
But there were some winners amongst the many canisters of tea my lovely sales person got down for me to smell. I went home with the earl gray cream, chili chai, pumpkin chai and the buttered rum. Well, the buttered rum is entirely gone out of the four at this point, so you can see which one I liked the most. Although, all of them are awesome!
I drink out of a large mug, so I imagine this will not be a cheap habit. At around $ 8 for 2 ounces, this will add up to be an expensive habit. But let’s be honest, I’m not buying Lipton anytime soon, so I’ll be ordering online (yep, they have an online store too!).

David’s is an absolutely amazing tea shop with some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. On entering, you will be greeted by a friendly person who will give you a shot glass of tea to try. The walls and counter are covered with canisters of tea, color-​coded for type — black, pu’er, oolong, green, white, roobius, mate, herbal. The tops are set so that there’s a sample to smell and, if you want, touch. The selection is impressive and includes a bunch of custom blends — when I went in, the sample of the day was pumpkin cheesecake. Not really my thing, but fun to try.
The staff are very knowledgeable about tea and good at communicating. If you don’t know about tea, they’ll make you feel welcome and help you get started. If you know about tea, just let them know — the woman who was helping me began with some fun blends, but when I said I’m mostly into the more floral Chinese greens and the high mountain oolongs, she got a lot more focused.
The shop is mostly for loose-​leaf tea and grab & go, though there is some limited seating. There are no snacks, and there is no menu — look at the wall and talk to the awesomely helpful staff. There is no minimum amount to buy so if you want to get a few cups’ worth to try something out that’s fine, but you can also get a tin. Instructions for steeping will be printed on the label.
For people with sensitivities, be careful about the samples — you will have a shot of tea in your hand before you know what’s going on, so if you’re not sure about it, ask.

I used to get my loose tea leaves from Teavana, but heard great reviews about David’s tea and wanted to give them a try. I really like the set up of the place because it looks so clean and organized. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to get so I asked the workers for some recommendations. They were super friendly and nice and I left with 3 different types of tea leaves.
The three wishes tea is really tasty and smells so fragrant! I also bought a citrus oolong tea that has a pretty mild flavor. They also have an earl grey with vanilla and is also really good. Their prices are definitely better than Teavana! I also like how they have such cute cups and seepers on sale and that you can get a cup of whatever tea you want to go.
This is my new go to spot for loose tea leaves!
