david’s causes
There is no DAVIDsTEA without a healthy planet. Our team’s decisions are fuelled by our desire to make the world a better place. Since we opened our doors in 2008, we’ve been rooted in eco-friendly decisions. Here’s how we’re moving forward and innovating the ways we package, sell and grow tea for our community! →
it tastes better to sip something responsible
As always, we make sure our tea is ETHICAL & SUSTAINABLE
Can tea be fair? Yes! Our decision-making is fuelled by our goal to positively impact the tea industry throughout our supply chain.
From tea workers to farmers and their families, we want everyone involved to benefit from safe, fair and equal working conditions. We consciously choose partners to ensure our ingredients check all the flavour boxes and our commitment to ethical sourcing. Through collaborations with the Ethical Tea Partnership and Fair Trade Certified TM , we’re able to protect and care for our tea community and the environments in which our tea is produced. →
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. →
we connect with a community of tea lovers
We bring people into the world of tea and CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY around the globe

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

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!
jasmine rooibos
OUR TASTING NOTES
Finally, a jasmine tea that’s naturally caffeine-free. This uplifting rooibos blend also features a pinch of citrusy & floral orange blossom.

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.
Rooibos
lavender buttercream
OUR TASTING NOTES
Sweet, creamy and laced with lavender, this decadent rooibos tastes like a slice of vanilla cake with floral buttercream frosting.
BEHIND THE BLEND
This blend started as a concept for vanilla lavender donuts before morphing into something even creamier! On a rooibos base, the creamy floral cupcake delight we had in mind when developing finally came to life! Caffeine-free

BEHIND THE BLEND
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.
Caffeine-free

OUR TASTING NOTES
Throw yourself a slumber party with this scrumptious bedtime treat. Oozing with rich caramel and coconut, it’s one nightcap you’ll look forward to all day.
BEHIND THE BLEND

put the “festive” in holiday festiviteas
last-minute gift shopping
It’s the most wonderful time of the year—but also the busiest! With holiday parties, dinners and all that time spent wrapping, it’s easy for things to slip your mind. If you realize you have some last minute gifts to shop for, don’t stress! Relax and steep up a cup of Apple Cider as you browse the web for the perfect present. Shopping in person? You’ll definitely need a deliciously rich treat to motivate you, so fill your travel mug with some Blueberry Vanilla before you head out!

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. Kick up your feet with an uplifting cup of Jasmine Rooibos or, if you’re still in the mood for dessert, why not try Lavender Buttercream for a decadent treat?

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.
