Gold Winner World Tea House
Silver Winner Sawadee Tea House
Bronze Winner DAVIDsTEA, Spring Garden Road
World Tea House steeps in their golden victory. Tali’s Masala Chai, Chocolate Monkey and White Coconut Creme are a few top selling sippers. Philip Holmans, owner of the small Argyle Street tea shop, says he only imports teas from family farms and small tea estates. So it’s “small guys supporting small guys.” His teas come from 12 locations internationally, including Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Indonesia and South Africa. Aside from providing global, organic and fair trade teas, World Tea House makes tea fun, with tea lattes, tea ciders and tea hot chocolates. “We do with tea what cafes do with coffee.”
