Acquired Taste Tea Company — Restaurant in Edmonton

Excellent flavors, expert service. I adore this local tea shop!

If you're trying to find a David's Tea alternative, this is the shop for you. They have a number of flavors to suit anyone : fruity, floral, herbaceous, you name it! From sweet, candy-inspired teas, to palatial Dragon Pearls! I expected the prices to be a bit steep (pun intended) but was pleasantly surprised at the till when everything came up as more than affordable.

My favourites are the sweeter black teas that have replaced coffee in my life : Chocolate Cream Black Tea and Toffee Black Tea.

My favourite bedtime teas with no caffeine are Roasted Almond Rooibois and Turkish Apple.

And if you're looking for amazing holiday teas for Christmas, the Snowflake Sencha is a coconut-spearmint blend that tastes like Christmas Candy, while Nutcracker is like Christmas in a mug.

I can't leave the fun Tea tins, mugs, steepers to-go and other accessories out of this review. They have a much larger selection than I thought they would for such a small space, but everything is very well-kempt and organized. If you need any gifts for Tea lovers, come here!

10/10 recommend this...

This place is the bees knees for teas(you're welcome) I personally love a good orange tea and chai and they deliver, there was... 5 main chai teas to choose from and they all smelled lovely, I like mine spicy so I got the largest bag possible of the Republic chai I believe it's called and a bag of the blood orange tea, I had my 8 month old with me as well and they had a little bin of toys perfect for her to stay entertained for a minute while I delighted in the selection of tea. However if the selection of tea isn't enough there was tea accessory that were neat as well. However where this place really earned its fifth star was the person working there was an absolute gem, even a great place can be ruined by bad staff but this was not one of those times, when you're living for tea and there's a person there to help you who also loves tea.. just a lovely experience and a lovely place, I can't say enough good things and I'm so grateful I'll have more spicy chai going into the colder months...

The shop is absolutely adorable, for starters. So many different selections of tea and there are also some really beautiful tea sets for sale. There is local artwork for sale on the walls which is wonderful to see. But of course, the tea is the main attraction.

These are legitimately the best teas I've ever had. I recently picked up some "Lord Grey", "Black Currant", and "Strawberry Rooibos". The quality and flavor of the teas is so fantastic, no hints of weird bitterness or the blah, blandness that tea sometimes has when it's not good quality. The lady behind the counter was also kind enough to throw in a free sample of another tea that I had asked about. Seriously, please visit this shop if you love tea, we NEED to keep them in business!! And if you love flavors of lemon and vanilla, may I recommend the...
