Tea please!

Remember my tea talk post a few weeks ago? I am back with more tea talk today. Let me start with a Vanilla Chai Tea latte I had last week from Cafe One. It was delicious, creamy, and could easily trick a faithful coffee fan into replacing the daily cup o' joe with chai tea. It definitely moved me one step closer to the tea team. Another great tea drink I had last week was a MojiTea from +Argo Tea. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered the drink but the peppermint tea, sparkling water, and cane sugar mix was super refreshing.

Finally, what truly inspired this post was Alison Appleton's work that I spotted at the ICFF show. The british ceramic design studio stand got my attention because of it's authentic ceramic tea pots and, as described on their site, the designs are an expression of beauty, creativity and enjoyment of life.

My favorite collection is the Emperor's Bird but the Darcy and Camellia are wonderful too!

tea talk!

Forget about coffee, nowadays tea shops are popping up all over the city. From the +Starbucks like, +Argo Tea Cafes to +DAVIDs Tea Shops.

These are the go-to spots for tea lovers and those of us who want to experiment with new drinks.

David's Tea got my attention because of it's branding. Graphics are modern using use minty green and white colors and a bold sans serif font. The shop carries around 150 types of teas from around the world including the largest collection of organic teas in North America.

Argo Tea shops are similar to Starbucks stores - very lounge like with comfortable chairs that invites us to read a book while sipping on delicious tea. They also have tables that make it a great get together spot for a quick meeting.

I won't tell you I have a favorite tea shop because I don't but I definitely do love tea and hope to one day replace my morning cup o' joe with a healthy cup of tea. For now, I will continue to enjoy both drinks.
