[my tea collection]
I'm obsessed. DavidsTea has been a favorite since they opened their Polo Park location about a year ago. I've always enjoyed drinking tea, but DavidsTea takes it to a whole new level. Shopping there is an experience. An aromatic one! Each tea expert takes their time with you to talk about what teas suit your fancy, educating you about the benefits of each one, and letting you smell as many as you like. I often leave with a few new ones to try, and my usual favorites. :) I've been enjoying these teas iced and hot, depending on my mood, and I enjoy it every single time. Tea time is me time, and I'm thankful for it. As soon as Delilah goes down for a nap, I start steeping. ;)
Here are my 5 DavidsTea favorites for this edition of Fancy Five.....

3. The Iced Tea Mug. I picked this up on the weekend, and love it. It keeps it cold longer than my other mugs, and I love that I can see the tea. (plus, any time you're by a DavidsTea location, you can get the iced tea of the day for only $1 if you bring your mug. sweet.)
5. The Noble Glass Thermos. The prettiest glass thermos I ever did see. I'm certainly fancying the double wall glass these days.
Some of my other DavidsTea favorites are:
Cream of Earl Grey, Organic Detox, Buttered Rum, Goji Pop, and Creme Brulee. :)
Do you fancy tea? What's your favorite kind? What's your go to method of steeping?
Ryan is golfing tonight, and I think the kids and I are going to have a McDonald's date. (can't believe I mention tea and fast food in the same post, oops!)
Much love, and happy Monday!

Yum! This looks really good. I don't think we have this store here in Oregon but it definitely looks like a cool place to visit. I don't know much at all about tea, so that would be very informative!
ReplyDeleteDavid's Tea just opened here a couple of months ago and we have a second location going downtown already. My favourites are Jessie's Tea, Banana Daiquiri and Luscious Watermelon. And I love the travel press. It's so handy!
ReplyDeleteHey Holly! I got the mug too! and since I work right beside Davids Tea, for only 1$ I get tea during work, sometimes 3 times a day! lol.
ReplyDeleteGoji pop is one of my favorites. It tastes like juice. I am OBSESSED with organic detox.
Have you tried Lime Gelato? It ACTUALLY tastes like ice cream.
I also LOVE Happy Kombucha. It has St. Johns Wart in it, which is a natural mood inhancer. :) I have a collection like yours too. Lucas broke one of my mugs when he was doing dishes. I also have their Agave Nectar! It is really good for cooking.
We should go there sometime together and shop. I could spend hundreds haha.
I love you, and I miss you! I hope you are doing well. :)
Love Lauren
Oh, I love this post! David's Tea reminds me of Teavana here in the states! It's a fun store, but a big expensive. However, if you're looking for good tea, that is where you go!
ReplyDeleteI love your new tumblr!
I took a few pictures of some of my stuff. You should check it out :)

woah, those are definitely the most interesting kinds of tea I've ever heard of! Movie Night... in a tea? Really? Very intriguing...
ReplyDeleteThe steeper and double glass mugs are gorgeous. Functional AND aesthetically pleasing!
hmm. we don't seem to have David's Tea anywhere close to my village. I guess I'll have to stay with my old standby ~ Rishi.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting David's on my radar.
I may just have to order some online. My favorite kinda of tea is Stash's Jasmine Blossom from Portland Oregon.
ReplyDeleteYummy! We have a tea place in the mall, though I'm not exactly sure what it's called. After this post it makes me want to run down there and find out! <3
ReplyDeleteI love Celestial Seasons Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride that only comes out at Christmas. I always stock up. I'm going to try some of your favorites. They sound delish!
ReplyDeleteI totally fancy tea somethign fierce. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of David's tea so I'm going to go take a peak. I don't believe there are anywhere I live so I may have to make a purchase online and give it a try!
The Movie Night tea looks amazing! My favourite brand is Pukka, but I'm not sure if it's just in the UK?
ReplyDeleteWOW! i wish we had a David's Tea here in Australia :( that all sounds amazing! Im going to see if i can get it shipped here ;)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so wonderful!! I will have to check it out. Can't wait to go to the store ... oh ... that's right ... you are in Canada ... I live in the US. Perhaps I can peruse the online store and imagine all of the wonderful smells :-)
ReplyDeleteEvery time you write or tweet about David's tea i get more and more curious. Unfortunately they don't ship to Holland (yet?).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy drinking it, but i know you already do!
oh gosh, it looks like you are JUST as obsessed as i am with davids tea. it's just soooo good. it seems like you enjoy the fruity ones, whereas i enjoy the green teas and earthier ones.
ReplyDeletehave you tried the organic matcha genmaicha? it's my favourite green, i'm actually drinking it right now!! you should try it.
also, the $20 ceramic tea infuser mugs changed my life. tea just tastes different in them!!
My coworkers and I are also obsessed with Davids Tea... but the Toronto locations. I have a double-walled tea mug and it makes tea feel so special. Er...but don't try to travel with it, I've broken two that way. Now I keep them on my desk.
ReplyDeleteJust reading your blog for the first time... <3
