While shopping with a friend of mine today in West Edmonton Mall, we stumbled upon an adorable little shop that we had never seen before. I was immediately drawn in by the teal signage and the rows upon rows of stainless steel cylinders which lined the shelves. I had to go in and see what this store had to offer.

Inside each of those silver canisters was a unique and intoxicating blend of tea that I had never before encountered. With names like "Gunpowder Taffy", "Jumpy Monkey", "Opposites Attract" and "Pink", it became obvious that this wasn't your Grandma's tea shop!
After smelling about 30 different blends of tea, I had to narrow my selections down. I ended up taking home the "Cherry Blossom", "Pina Colada" and "Jessie's Tea" - which is a blend of lavender, rooibos, coconut and corn flower.
Here's a small sampling of some of their tea blends:
Read my Lips - Black tea with vanilla, mint, chocolate, peppercorns and little red candy lips.
Cherry Blossom - White tea, green tea, cherries, coconut and pink rose petals.
Bear Trap - Blackcurrents, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and lemon verbena.
Chocolate Mint Maté - Chocolate, mint, rooibos and yerba maté.
If you love tea, or know someone who does, I HIGHLY recommend that you check this place out! Not only do they carry a wide variety of aromatic teas, but each one in itself is a work of herbal art! Plus they are a Canadian company.
You can find their Edmonton location in the upper level of West Edmonton Mall near the Waterpark. Or, you can check out their website at www.davidstea.com and order online or find a location nearest you.
