DAVIDsTEA

Staff are friendly service is alway A+ they are always offering free samples I am not one for hot tea but all the options for ice tea I am a fan of this place

These folks have a wide variety of tea’s. This is like Starbucks for the tea drinker. They always have samples out for you to either sniff or drink. There is fruity to chocolaty. Decaf to your perk me up. And I also believe it’s all organic. Plus all the equipment you need to brew the perfect cup.

This was the first Davids Tea I’ve ever been in and will most likely remain my favourite location from now until, presumably, the end of time. I’ve been to the Spring Garden one and one in Quebec as well and while I found them to be great, this location will always hold a special place in my heart.
There is no store in the known universe with customer service as fantastic as this location, the staff know the products like the back of their hand and can discuss them at length and with great enthusiasm, not to mention patience! As a budding young tea enthusiast, I would bumble in there with a vague idea of what sort of a flavour I might want in my tea and the staff would haul out about 6 different options and explain all of the nuances of each. Their wall of tea may look a little overwhelming at first but the staff here really take the time to help you out, showing you different selections until you find what you’re looking for. When you do find what you’re looking for, it’s probably the most delicious thing you’ve ever tasted.
Even when they’re busy here (and anyone who goes here knows this nook of a tea shop can get quite packed on busy mall days) the staff never make you feel rushed or like the customer standing behind you might be more worth their time. I was brought in here by my now boyfriend and he got me hooked on the brand, since then I’ve hauled most of my friends and family in to do the same thing. Every time my mom comes to visit, we have mandated Davids Tea time so she can stock up on tea and accessories she can’t pick up back home.
As if delicious tea isn’t good enough, they have the most adorable tea accessories that are so easy to use! My days of messing around with loose leaf tea in tea bags could happily end with their convenient travel mugs and teapots with built in strainers.
For a busy spot, I have to say, the staff are great with faces as well. After just a few trips in, they really make you feel like a regular. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere, perfect for buying tea.

This is the first David’s Tea that I ever experienced and it’s most certainly my favourite. Not only do they have an amazing selection of loose-​leaf tea, they carry all the accessories one would need to start using loose-​leaf instead of tea bags. Of course, should you like to stick with tea bags, David’s has you covered there too.
I’ve had this location go far beyond the call of duty for me. I once was given a fancy kettle from here for Christmas, but it broke within seven months. A quick online search revealed that it was a fault with the brand. I had no receipt, but sent an email to David’s to find out if I should go through them or the company. Imagine my surprise when they told me to bring it in and that they would be happy to refund me the entire purchase price. It doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to customer service.
If you’re curious to learn more about tea, go in and talk to their friendly staff members. They know everything you need to know and more. I often let them choose a drink for me when I’m feeling indecisive. I have yet to be sorry once.
A great place for gifts as well, either for you or for someone else. Treat yourself the next time you’re in the mall. It’s a great pick-​me up.

I am new to the whole tea-​drinking thing. I have certainly never tried loose-​leaf tea before, but thought I would give it a go. I presented myself to a staffer at David’s Tea and put myself in her capable hands.
Friendly, happy, knowledgeable staff asked all the right questions and steered me to everything I needed without trying to take advantage. I ended up with two very reasonably priced canisters, a new teapot with infuser and a free cup of tea for the road. It was such a great experience. The selection is amazing, prices are much lower than I was expecting and I just wish all staff in food service were as wonderful as these ladies were. I will definitely be returning for all my tea needs.

First time going there I was amazed by the selection ! So I decided to buy a few different types — the turn off for me was the chatty staff who spent was engaging me with her hangover :0 I just wanted someone more knowledgeable and more customer orientated.
My next few trips the service was great– nice giftware for the tea lovers in your life!

After a rocky first introduction to David’s Tea on Spring Garden Road, I was a little hesitant to pop over to the Shopping Centre’s location. Yet, after accompanying a friend on her all-​day search for tall boots, dehydration and desperation had set in and this little tea bar was a beacon of light in the darkness.
Bright, friendly staff were happy to welcome us despite being at the very end of their work day and were extremely helpful in pumping our nostrils full of delicious tea options. I can’t remember exactly what we ended up with but it was a nice balance of citrus, fruit, and caffeine-​free.
All in all, a good option to keep in the backpocket for unending holiday shopping trips to the mall.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. The Staff are always super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. SO many delicious teas, I am addicted.

Wandered in here for be first ime today after hearing good things and just plain feeling like tea. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful in explaining how much tea a bag (50 grams for $ 10 — makes about 15 – 20 cups) or canister (100 grams for $ 20 — makes about 25 – 30 cups) would make and showing me the various mesh tea balls and filters. I ended up getting a bag of the Indian Summer, which was one of their ‘teas of the day’. There were probably about 100 different flavors of tea and I’m sure I’ll be back for other varieties to keep warm with over the winter!

I love this place, and I am not a tea drinker by nature. I am on an Elimination Diet (for you celiacs and food intols you know what I mean) and I am not allowed coffee. I know David’s Tea is a safe bet for someone with multiple sensitivities such as myself. Green tea, as most know, can be highly beneficial for one’s health. I have tried a a lot of the other teas there and they are all terrific but I am hooked on Dragonwell Green Tea. Justin (who seems to to ever-​present at this store) recommended this wonderful, woody flavored, loose tea. I just love it… but, it’s $ 20.00 per 100 grams. Ouch.
Somehow it seems worth it, if I can stick to one cup per day. I have been to the other David’s Tea stores in halifax/​dartmouth and this is the one I prefer. The staff are not uppity, which is what I faced when I went to the shop in Mic Mac Mall.
Overall, I am a fan, but especially like my local David’s Tea shop in Halifax Shopping Center.

There’s no question that David’s Tea has an awesome selection of swoon-​worthy teas, but it’s their killer customer service that brings me back time and time again!
My mom was a DT virgin, and I was so happy that Luke (our cheery-​eyed sales rep) made her first time such a memorable experience. He knew the products inside and out, and never made my mom feel silly for asking sooooo many questions — or for making him bring down almost every tin on the shelf!
In the end, she left with four fabulous new teas and a whole whack of information.
Thank you, Luke! You totally rocked our world!
Loose tea rules!

I’ve been to many a tea shop before, but nothing compares to David’s Tea.
If you are either a newbie to loose tea, or a seasoned addict, David’s Tea is perfect for all. I don’t ever profess to know a lot about looseleaf tea, so the staff always get to exercise their vast tea knowledge on me as I pepper them with questions.
The shop has plenty of hardware for steeping your loose leaves, and once you’ve got the right gear, it’s time to step up to the bar to sample some tea and start sniffing to find something new and yummy. I love that there is always something on hand to sample, and if you want them to pull every single type of tea off the wall to take a look, they’ll do it for you. They are just that awesome.
If you really enjoy the in store experience, there is a maling list that will deliver their seasonal limited edition teas straight to your inbox — you can be in the know in time to get into the store and make a purchase.
The customer service is, bar none, some of the best in the city.

Easily the best place in Halifax (or Canada for that matter) to buy loose-​leaf tea. Excellent customer service, branding, and overall store experience. I just wish they had more space to sit and enjoy your purchase (s)!

In a post moving haze, brain fuzz, floating on exhaustion daze yesterday — I wandered into the Halifax Shopping Center. As noted in a recent review, Eastlink customers must return their internet/​cable equipment before closing an account, so in I went to place the cherry atop my insane weekend.
As I stepped into the mall near the food court, I saw a glimmer of hope; DAVIDsTEA stood shining to my left, with two hip and smiley employees ready to serve. I walked in and was immediately offered their daily tea sample — a lush cherry blossom concoction, with hints of rose. They asked what kind of teas I usually sipped to which I replied Earl Grey and Genmaicha. The girl working brought over half a dozen canisters of varying blends; Cream of Earl Grey, Organic Early Grey, Matcha Genmaicha, and the list goes on!
They all smelled so aromatic and full bodied, with vibrant hued fresh ingredients. DAVIDsTEA serves up loose tea, either hot or cold, and as well sells a plethora of tea accessories. The two great employees working told me that they’re a chain company in Canada, with about a dozen other stores across the country. 30−40% of their products are organic and they’re all fair trade. I was also informed that the company is currently working on making more of their products organic!
As well as all of your standard fair, they carry so many interesting varieties; including delightful sounding reserve leaves from high atop mountainous Chinese regions. Prices vary from $ 3 — $ 25 for 100 grams of tea, which makes about 25 cups at home.
This store is truly fab, and is especially nice to see within the sea of often cruddy quality mall shops at the Halifax Shopping Center. I suggest you head in and suss it out, if even just to speak to the knowledgeable and happy employees. Happy sipping, my friends.
