David Segal's new Queen Street store, David's Tea, offers more than 120 types of loose-leaf tea from around the world. "We want to make tea fun and push the envelope with flavour," Segal says. For a corporate or employee gift idea, he suggests his five-pack starter kit ($20), which includes Japanese sencha and crème caramel rooibos, plus a tea ball and measuring spoon. The shop also carries accessories like the Bodum travel press mug ($10.50 for the small size) and, starting in November, pre-wrapped gift packages will be available for the holidays. Segal also plans to offer private after-hours tea tastings for groups of five to 10.
