DAVIDsTEA

They have so many variations of all types of tea and always have one to sample. To get a cup it is way too pricey at $ 4.50 per cup. Better to buy the loose tea and steep at home.
Some of my fav are spice is right, detox, chocolate Chili chai,

Love this location! It seems to have the best stock for sale items.
The store is a bit smaller, but the staff and the experience are the same as the other stores. It’s always a feel good experience at David’s Tea.
My favourite tea is the detox tea and goji pop!

WOW!!! Zugegeben, als ich das Geschäft betreten habe war ich seeehr skeptisch. Es erweckte in mir eher den Eindruck eines «Bonbonle Lädchen». Keine Wärme, kein Eindruck von einer Gemütlichkeit des Tees wie wir Sie aus unseren Gefilden kennen. Doch ich wurde eines besseren belehrt, die Tees waren alle frisch und haben großartig gerochen. Dennoch war ich nach der Bezahlung, die mich im übrigen staunen ließ, immer noch skeptisch. Doch heute kann ich sagen, hätte ich das vorher gewusst, dann hätte ich wesentlich mehr eingekauft. Die Tees sind sensationell! Schlagt zu, es lohnt sich!!!
Wer bringt mir welchen mit???

STOP PUSHING! All I want is a cup of tea!
I don’t want to smell three different teas or buy any of the packages behind me or open an account or consider buying the $ 30 mug on the shelf.
All I want is some of your delicious tea.
It takes me 15 minutes to leave your store when it should take me 5 minutes.
Stop it. Please.

Always amazing service… No matter who is working. I always feel they go above and beyond my expectations each and every visit. Great product knowledge and you will always leave the store smiling.
Even during tourist season, I still have the same great experience. Highly recommend this location.

Came across this location by accident. Didn’t know there was a Gastown location.
Parking isn’t the best here. Nearest free spots are a few blocks away.
The location is surprisingly bright, and has a more vintage look because of the building that it’s in.
Staff were friendly and cheerful. They were able to answer my tea-​related questons.
Really starting to like this chain.

Everyone is very helpful and friendly. I ordered an English tea and the lady poured like a gallon of milk into it though.

Indeed impressive, considering the prime real estate here, this is the largest Davids Tea i’ve been to. obviously being in gastown has the heritage feel, but the brick walls are painted their colours.
I personally like their lime gelato tea, nice and light.
In the back corner, there’s a private section just for 4 seats.
but plenty of seating at the front.

This is by far my favourite DAVIDsTEA location in Vancouver!
I think it’s a prerequisite that you have to be absolutely adorable and gorgeous to work at this one! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable as well as dedicated to helping you find the perfect tea! I bought THREE tins after expressing the desire to move away from my classic Organic Cream of Earl Grey.
The associate recommended Salted Caramel and Chocolate Macaroon — two fabulously fragrant black teas which have grown to become my new go-​tos for delicious daily black teas.
I highly recommend going in and asking questions! Build your tea flavour profile as you would with fine wines — it’s worth it. Smell everything, and hang out for a while!

DH went to an event at this particular David’s Tea, they had a huge selection, nice interior and very friendly and informed staff.
I was particularly intrigued by the plastic steep brew container, and am interested in getting one. Their tea selection is on the pricey side, but the quality leaves are what warrants the prices.
Will stop in once in a while when I am out and about and thirsty, healthier drinks than what’s at Starbucks for sure.

Came here for the Unilocal Elite event with a friend and the place was AMAZING. Some of the best service I’ve seen, and the staff were knowledgeable and great without being too pushy for you to purchase their products. It was a great intro to some great summer teas like watermelon mint and hot tropic, and I just had such a great time at the event!
I’ve been to other DAVIDsTEA stores before, but this one is by far the best one I’ve gone to in terms of service and friendliness. Since they all sell the same products, what really differentiates them comes from the service, and this store nailed it.
After seeing how much you can play with their iced teas, I think I’ll be buying their drinks at the mall more often instead of the standard Jugo Juice!

Whoa whoa whoa what happened, DAVID? I normally have incredimazing experiences at DAVIDsTEA but the last couple times have been pretty eh. Bear in mind that I love straight teas and have recently wanted to venture into flavoured ones since fruity iced teas sound pretty good for summertime! I’m a huge fan of Nepal Black and the Milk Oolong! Some of their high grade straight greens are absolutely diviiiine.
I love this place, their associates are always so upbeat and helpful but Main Squeeze tasted like plastic water for some reason and didn’t taste at all fruity. It smelled pretty great though! My friend who was visiting from abroad was excited for her Sangria but straight up said it was gross. I felt pretty bad since I had hyped DT up so much! No idea what’s happening but maybe I’m in a tea rut. Get me out of here David because you guys are awesome and I still love you!

I’m more of a coffee person but would recommend DavidsTEA to get a cup of tea. Especially if you want organic tea. The staff at this location were really friendly and really helpful. I also LOOOOOVE the glassware! The pineapple cups are super cute!

I visited DAVIDsTEA in gas town for a Unilocal Elite event and was incredibly impressed by how knowledgeable each member of the staff was. They REALLY know their stuff! Megan gave us a demo of how to make iced tea with their steeping pot, and showed us how quick and easy it is! I had a lot of fun smelling all the different teas (especially the coconut-​y ones) and ended up purchasing the Birthday Cake tea and coconut oolong. 5 stars for how cool the team was. Like, can we hang out? HAHA!

Ever since I tried DAVIDs Tea in San Francisco, I’ve been in love. Lots of delicious flavors and blends, and the employees that work here are so incredibly nice.
I love their winter teas and the Mother’s Little Helper tea which is the perfect cup to brew before bed. All the teas are looseleaf, but DAVIDs also sells tea infusers and filters. Plus, for every cup of tea you buy, they donate a cup to charity.
So skip the chain places like Starbucks and check DAVIDs out for high quality tea at a reasonable price. Now if only they would come to Southern California!

I love David’s tea, they will help to find a right tea for anyone, any occasion and sure will satisfy the pickiest tea lovers. Right now they have this promo, — buy 50 g of any tea and get 50 g of the same tea for free!!!
I’ve got mines «decaf berry tonic» and «organic dragon jasmine leaves»!!!

I am a tea whore. I’ve tried many different flavors of teas, heard of many different flavors… at least I thought I did until I walked into David’s Tea for the first time. I walk in and was greeted by two bubbly and energetic young girls, total awesome customer service. The other thing that caught my attention was the holiday tea selection. As much as I am a tea whore, I am a holiday flavor whore. I can’t wait to try these teas! I bought both of course, perfect chilled for the summer.

This adorable tea shop fits in well with the cozy urban feel of gas town. You walk along the cobble stone streets and sidewalks and can easily spot this bright café. The walls behind the registers are lined with metal containers of tea with playfully colorful lids.
The cashier was helpful in suggesting several teas that fit my taste. I landed on iced sweet ginger green tea with honey since my throat needed some cheering up. It was a light tea, with a strong hint of ginger. Not bad. (~$ 3)
I liked the design of their wide selection of mugs, thermos, and other tea accessories. These little gifts were a little pricey, but definitely worth a splurge for their tea-​novation and cuteness.
If you love tea or what to learn to love it, chat it up with a barista here and maybe you’ll find a new taste; sampled a rooibus tea tonight. (:

I stumbled upon this place on a sunny afternoon when meeting a friend for a walk in Gastown and was surprisingly impressed.
The décor is very bright and reminds me of being in a Chinese mall like Aberdeen in Richmond.
I tried their very fragrant Earl Grey tea in form of an iced tea topped with milk. The staff is very helpful and knowledgable about the product. The tea is very fragrant and had a modern twist on the otherwise very traditional Earl Grey flavour.
I’ll definitely come back to try more flavours and sip in more tea.

Love Love David’s Tea. They sell a HUGE variety of teas and separate the selections based on the base tea it is made up of which automatically helps it be categorized to being caffeine free or not and fruity tasting etc. The staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable with teas. I’m an avid tea drinker and told them my preference and they immediately pulled a bunch that matched my palate. Most of the teas are loose leaf stored in a canister in which you can smell. If you like it, it is about an average of 100g for about $ 10, you can even ask them how many cups it can brew.
In addition to tea, there are a lot of beautiful tea sets, pots, cups, and tumblers. The price is on the higher side but it is very evident that you are getting high quality and unique tea– to me that is well worth it.
I highly recommend coming here to try and if you like it, you can order it online too. Works perfect for me since I’m from the U.S.

I went with a few colleagues to this new location. It was surprisingly busy for mid-​day on a Tuesday. We were greeted by a friendly girl who seemed to know their selection rather well.
I had reviewed their catalogue before coming, so I already had a good idea of what I wanted. The girl who was helping us recommended I get small baggies of the ones I wanted to try (I ended up getting 5, liked 2):
+ Stormy night (chocolaty black tea): I had no idea how this would taste and I still don’t know how to describe it, but I’ll be getting a tin.
+ The Skinny (light ginger & cinnamon): Nice and relaxing. Will get more.
— Super Ginger: I like ginger, but WOW. It’s like biting into a chunk of it.
— Mango Diablo: interesting, less punch than I expected. Not for me regardless.
— Saigon Chai: would be good without the cloves. May or may not get more (at a later date).
My colleagues didn’t know what they wanted, so the girl asked them about what they normally like, and then made a couple suggestions. I checked with them today, and they really liked all 3 (including the Super Ginger that was too much for me).
Also, I had mis-​read/​understood a sale sign in the store and thought I had been over-​charged. I went back and asked the girl who had helped us, and she explained. On second glance, I was clearly mistaken yet she still went thru (several minutes of) extra work to get me what I thought I was buying. I think that above anything endeared me to the store.
EDIT: I mixed up «The Skinny» and «Saigon Chai». Review has been corrected.
