Brewed Awakening

Hip hip, hooray! Top teatailer DAVIDsTEA finally has a Robson Street branch so we no longer have to schlep over to Pacific Centre when we’re feeling parched. It’s at the Burrard Street end of Robson, snuggled between Snowggle Gifts and Lush Handmade Cosmetics, and offers all of DAVIDs’ 150-strong tea collection. That means off-the-wall flavours like red velvet cake, chili, dragonfruit and caramel, plus fancy estate teas such as wood-fired Sencha Ashikubo and Nepal Black. You’ll also find the brand’s gifts and accessories. Our fave: the Iced Tea Press, a travel mug that lets us steep and ice our tea, then keep it cold and drink it on the go. —Aileen Lalor
