So I’ve been to a couple different DAVIDsTEA locations now since starting to work there, and one thing I always try to do is ask the employees about which teas are their best sellers that are unique to their store – and what I mean by that is that every store kind of all have the best selling teas; Just Peachy, Forever Nuts, Cream of Earl Grey, ME to WE, Buddha’s Blend, etc. I mean, generally speaking, anything that comes in the Rainbow Tins/boxes of Sachets is a company wide best seller – those are the ones that sell well, so those are the ones that can justifiably be prepackged.
However, each store also has a handful of teas that don’t come in those prepackaged options that they just sell a ton of, that other stores don’t – and my theory is that the general reason for that is because those teas are staff favourites, and so because the staff as a whole really likes them they sell a lot more of that tea because they recommend it more. Some of these ‘staff favourites’ at my store would be Chocolate Macaroon, Midsummer Night’s Dream and, as of late, this tea! I mean, in the last few weeks our sales of this tea have nearly doubled because collectively our whole staff kind of just went “Man, this is a DELICIOUS tea!” And I’m not really an exception to that; I’ve found it’s the perfect thing to pull down when I want something light, refreshing and fruity tasting without it being in my face kinds of fruity, or reliant on things like hibiscus for flavour impact. It works hot, it works cold, and the apple/raspberry combo is really satisfying.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
