Figure [1]: A tea store opened in our neighborhood.

Angelika In our Noe Valley neigborhood, there's a lot of churn these days in terms of stores, since the rents are astronomically high. Many small stores can't make enough revenue to compete. Every time when a place goes out of business, we dread what might replace it. Lately, bank branches and real estate brokers seem to occupy 24th Street in droves. In light of this, I was very pleasantly surprised when the former gift store "Ladybug Ladybug" turned into the tea store "David's Tea". My Northern-German soul rejoiced!

David's Tea originated from up north as well, Canada, to be precise. Back in 2008, David Segal opened the first store of this chain in Toronto. They've grown to about 90 stores all over Canada and the U.S., which seems to be the way to go around here if a business is doing well. David's Tea has excellent teas, starting with the usual black, green, white, and fruity teas, but also offering Roibush and various blends with coconut or vanilla. You'll find more than 150 kinds of tea there, and also nice accessories like mugs and tea pots. For Christmas, I even found tree ornaments filled with tea!
