About DAVIDsTEA

DAVIDsTEA is a Montreal-based tea retailer founded in 2008. It is known for its colourful loose-leaf blends, from classic green and black teas to fruity and dessert-style infusions, and for its signature tins that keep the tea fresh.

A cup of tea is part of getting through a Quebec winter, and loose-leaf blends make it easy to try something new every week. A few tins make a simple gift for teachers, coworkers or a tea-loving friend, and they look nice on the kitchen shelf. It suits anyone who enjoys tea at home or iced in summer.
