Iced Tea in Calgary

Hi everyone! I was wondering, does anyone know a place in Calgary that sells good iced tea blends? My sister gave me a bunch from David's Tea for my birthday and I've nearly finished them. I've ordered more but I'd like to see if there's anything in Calgary as well. I've considered ordering Tea Forte's but they're teabags, which I no longer am very fond of. I prefer loose leaf. I never knew iced tea could taste this good! I've always loathed the oversweetened stuff you can buy at the supermarket. So, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    David's Tea is my favourite. I live near Southcentre and I usually just pop in for an iced tea to go. Make sure you smell their Movie Night and Toasted Walnut green teas... amazing.

    Steeps (near 17th Ave SW) is pretty good. Naked Leaf in Kensington seemed good too but I've only been there once.

      I really like Teaopia's Summer Breeze (rooibos) and Wild Cherry (fruit blend) iced—and both smell so fantastic in their tins!

        Just as an FYI (I couldn't tell from your message if you know this already or not), but there is a David's tea at Southcentre. Definitely one of my favorite stores!

          Really? I had no idea! But then, I never go to Southcentre. I might have to take a trip, thanks!

          Maybe try Naked Leaf in Kensington?

          I have not tried their iced teas but I am happy with the quality of the green and black teas I buy there.

            I've been meaning to go down there. I didn't think they carried iced tea blends, though, it doesn't say anything about that on their website. I'll have to go see, thank you!
