| - A nice little store at the Don Mills Shops. I have wanted to check it out since it opened, but for whatever reason, whenever I'm in the area I'm not really up for tea.
I finally went in and looked around. Lots of cute tea sets, mugs, books, etc. They have a section with their loose leaf teas in small jars, so you can smell them. When you've picked your tea(s), you can either get a hot cup right there or buy by the gram to go. You tell the staff at the front counter which kind you'd like, and they scoop from the large canisters behind the counter.
50 grams is usually around $6 and is good for 15-20 servings of tea. A little pricey, but considering I usually get 24 tea bags for about $4, this is just a little bit more for this "luxury" tea and fun of selecting it. Its easy to make your own blends too. They have the most delicious blends I've never even dreamed of - and all varieties of green, white, black, yerba mate, roobois and herbal. The fruity teas are my favourite - with dried fruits right in the blend.
I will probably go here once a month to give myself a little treat.
