ABOUT DAVIDsTEA

Serving great tea, having a friendly staff and above-and-beyond customer service seemed like a simple idea, but young entrepreneur David Segal and his cousin, retail pioneer Herschel Segal, couldn't find anyone else that was doing it. Therefore, they decided to take matters into their own hands. Today, DAVIDsTEA has over 75 stores across Canada and the US, and they do not plan on stopping any time soon. You can choose from over 150 types of tea, including exclusive blends, limited edition seasonal collections, traditional straight teas and exotic infusions from around the world.
