our packaging choices make a difference

COMPOSTABLE & REGENERATIVE PACKAGING is our absolute priority

Through our current environment-friendly packaging, we aim to lead the tea industry by example. We acknowledge that packaging and shipping can be incredibly wasteful. That’s why we’re working hard to reduce shipping waste thanks to bulk packaging and compostable mailers. We have a commitment to launch more compostable packaging and to continue to reduce waste anywhere we can. Our emphasis on conscious choices sets us apart and keeps up growing. From plastic-free & biodegradable sachets to recyclable packaging, we’re not stopping there. We’re committed to transitioning our company to a fully recyclable and compostable offering. →

BEHIND THE BLEND

Inspired by the apple orchards surrounding Montreal and the very popular apple harvesting season. With a light creaminess, this is the perfect blend to take the drinker straight out to the cool, crisp orchard.

Herbal Tea APPLE SWEET BLACKBERRY LEAF

Caffeine-free

blueberry vanilla

OUR TASTING NOTES

A lively yet deliciously rich & flavourful creamy vanilla tea infused with blueberries and nurturing elderberries with a tropical fruit finish.

BEHIND THE BLEND

The goal was to develop a sweet and creamy blueberry vanilla blend. We loved this simple blend immediately! Not only is it packed with immunitysupporting elderberries, but it also has bright, slightly acidic blueberry notes.

Developed to fulfill those late-night chai cravings, this rooibos-based caffeine-free chai has the warming notes of ginger and cinnamon.

Rooibos DANDELION ROOT

cranberry cheer

OUR TASTING NOTES

Here’s something to cheer about: lively cranberry enveloped in warm cinnamon & just enough dandelion root for a cleansing boost. Raise a glass!

BEHIND

THE BLEND

When developing this tea, we were inspired by customer requests for cranberry-based teas. After doing tons of research, we discovered that cranberries and dandelion root are sought-after for their cleansing benefits. The flavours combined well, especially with a hint of cinnamon, and we knew we had a winner in this cran-dandy blend!

BEHIND THE BLEND

From uplifting spirits to boosting creativity and focus, we’re adamant believers in all the benefits of jasmine’s aroma. But, as you know, most jasmine scented teas are typically Camellia sinensis , which means they contain caffeine. We wanted to be able to enjoy those same benefits in a caffeine-free version.

OUR TASTING NOTES

Sweet, creamy and laced with lavender, this decadent rooibos tastes like a slice of vanilla cake with floral buttercream frosting.

Taking inspiration from European holiday fruitcakes, we wanted to appeal to faithful fans of Sleigh Ride by using ingredients like raisins, cinnamon and almonds. Candied pineapple and papaya give this tea a playful edge, like a lightly spiced punch.

playing in the snow

The sparkling white snow beckons us to go outside even when the frigid temperature makes us want to cuddle up indoors. But when you need something to warm you up deep down, the spiciness of Coco Chai Rooibos and Cranberry Cheer will do the trick. Both blends are perfect to not only warm you up, but also to help you unwind after a busy, snow-filled day.

cozying up

with a book

There’s no better way to spend a chilly evening—or afternoon, for that matter— than curling up with a book, your coziest knits and a warm cup of tea. If you need some help unwinding, have some of “nature’s valium” in Valerian Nights. Want something a little more spicy to keep you cozy? Try Prancer’s Punch.

The holidays can be a stressful time for everyone, but nothing keeps you busier than cooking a festive feast for the whole family. After a long day of running around the kitchen, you’ll definitely need to take a breather.

why we do what we do

WHO IS DAVID s TEA?

In a nutshell, we love loose leaf tea. We started as a small family of tea lovers, and our tea love has been growing ever since. We’d even go as far as to say we’re tea-obsessed. For us, it’s all about using the whole tea leaf for full flavour. Sometimes, we’ll even add more full-size ingredients for a tasting experience that goes above and beyond your expectations. From black to herbal to matcha and everything in between, we wake up each and every day wanting to make the best tea in the world.

HANDPICKED WITH LOVE

A warm and comforting tea can help soothe most ailments, and we hope that these teas make your day brighter and shinier one sip at a time.

DAVIDsTEA is a non-Indigenous brand and company operating and living on largely unceded Indigenous lands. This booklet was conceptualized and designed in Montréal (Tiohtià:ke). To learn more about the land upon which we operate, please visit our Steep Thoughts blog.
