Today at lunch I made the trek in minus 20 degree weather from Queen and Bay to Adelaide and Spadina. Some of my colleagues thought I was crazy for walking outside in such cold weather but my mission to scope out Herbal Infusion Tea Co. meant I would get a warm reward. I first read about newest tea outpost on a Blog TO review. Herbal Infusion Tea Co launched by Dan Johanis, is tucked away on Adelaide St West beside a printer and my favourite downtown giftbag store,Retail Bag Co. A good place for a cafe amidst the brick and beam office buildings in the area, I am sure Herbal Infusion Tea Co. will become a favourite of the creatives and condos in the neighbourhood because there really is no other place for tea south of Queen. When I went in for my green tea, I spoke with the owner for a couple of minutes to get the goods on his place. Dan is knowledgeable about his product having spent some time running a tea website and studying the subject at George Brown and he clearly demonstrates a passion for his new store and product. The interior is simple yet welcoming and I love the ladder that slides back and forth in front of the wall-o-tea. Of course I am bias because I only drink tea but in my books, more tea spots in the city is a great thing. Now if only someone would venture north of the 401 even north of Lawrence! Is that too much to ask?
