5 SUSTAINABILTY

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. →

ORGANIC calming chamomile

OUR TASTING NOTES

If you’re looking for a caffeinefree treat before bedtime, try this deliciously aromatic, pure chamomile tea.

BEHIND THE TEA

This tea has all the characteristics you look for in a premium quality herbal tea. There are whole, compact blossoms that beautifully preserve their distinct yellow hue and, more importantly, a light floral honey taste, with delicate notes of sweet apple. Chamomile has been used for centuries in traditional and folk medicine for its calming and digestive properties. In fact, it’s often considered one of the most ancient medicinal herbs known to humankind and has been in use since the ancient Egyptians.

Lovers of Earl Grey adore this creamy alternative to the original blend. We’ve added a touch of vanilla for an unexpectedly rich taste.

BEHIND THE BLEND

One of the first examples of DAVIDsTEA breaking the rules and taking a classic to new heights. This play on traditional Earl Grey has all the dreamy notes of a London Fog latte�creamy with an alluring aroma of bergamot. It’s been with us for over 14 years and counting.

ORGANIC north african mint

OUR TASTING NOTES

In Morocco, green tea with mint is a drink of hospitality, usually enjoyed after a meal. Ours is spiced with cardamom, ginger, licorice, fennel and pepper.

BEHIND THE BLEND

A truly unique blend inspired by the traditional green tea and mint pairing that is ubiquitous in North Africa, but with an innovative twist. Made on a base of roasted green tea, we added organic botanicals like aromatic cardamom, sweet licorice and spicy ginger to make it truly unique! Our first blended tea without added flavouring, it has been with us since we first opened our doors in 2008!

BEHIND THE BLEND

In 1950s, Saigon cinnamon was one of the finest spices on the market. But then came the Vietnam War, and exports ground to a halt. Half a century later, it’s finally comeback time. This blend of Assam tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and pink peppercorns is our ode to this resurgence. This was meant to be tried as it’s prepared in Vietnam, with sweetened condensed milk, or steeped extra long with milk and sugar.

Got a tickle in your throat? Or maybe it’s a full-on cold? One thing’s for sure, this comforting blend of sweet licorice root, fresh mint and cinnamon is here to smooth things over.

BEHIND THE BLEND

We wanted to develop a throat-soothing blend reminiscent of our old-school Bravissimo and Licorice Twist. We researched ingredients that have been traditionally used for their soothing benefits and blended them into this comforting herbal infusion. Warming, throat-coating and soothing.

BEHIND THE BLEND

This tea originally launched in February 2014 as “The Spice is Right.” Cinnamon and orange is such a timeless combination, so we wanted to take this pairing and up the spice until it was just right. Think of it as chai with a citrus twist. Tastes perfect when paired with dark chocolate!

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.
