| - I never understood the hype with tea. I mean, its just tea right? Oh you are so wrong! Walking into David's Tea is more than just buying a cup of tea and calling it a day. It's an entire experience. You walk in and are promptly greeted by a "tea ambassador" carrying a tray of hot/cold tea depending on the season. Every day they have a particular tea of the day (that they let you know about via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).
I walked in with my husband one day wanting to find a good white tea. I heard white tea was good for your because of all of the antioxidants etc. When I explained to the young man serving me what I was looking for he offered up a few different white teas and then even mentioned the Skinny Oolong tea (I was looking for something healthy and to help promote weight loss). He explained that the tea wasn't a laxative tea, just something to stimulate your digestive system and that he drank it daily, he made me a cup and I was sold. Not for the health benefits but because I love anything that has ginger as a main ingredient.
I was hooked from that day forward. I can't even begin to tell you the amount of money I have spent on tea, accessories, and gifts. I got gift cards for my birthday from David's Tea and have a fully stocked tea cabinet at home.
Not only are their teas exceptional so are their accessories. I bought the Timilino travel cup and LOVE it. I more than love it. I hate drinking hot tea. I always manage to burn my tongue. This travel cup keeps the tea hot for hours on end... so what do I do? I boil my water, steep the tea, remove the tea from the holder, and seal the travel cup closed at night (around midnight). When I wake up and get to work around 9am the tea is still warm. It's not HOT but its no where near cool, its a nice warm temperature. It still warms you up in the -30 weather we have.
Oh, did you know that if you don't like a tea that you purchased you can bring back the unused portion and get an instore credit? I didn't either until I mentioned something on their Facebook page and they told me!
I've cut back on my coffee intake replacing it with a nice warm ( and sometimes cold) cup of tea! (If you bring in your own David's Tea travel cup to a store you can get an iced tea for $1 in the summer, and a discount off a hot cup in the winter!)
