Tea Desire is Canada’s premium loose leaf tea store specializing in herbal, green, rooibos, oolong and organic tea.
Tea Desire opened their first tea store in May 2005. Tony and Heidi Aupers the founders of Tea Desire are experienced entrepreneurs. They bring European and Canadian market experience to their tea stores where they stock the finest loose leaf teas and tea ware.
Growing up in Holland and Germany, a Specialty Tea Store was part of their culture. After they moved in 1996 from Europe to the interior of British Columbia, much to their surprise they were not able to find any Specialty Tea Stores to fill their needs for a good cup of tea.
After intense research, they decided in 2004 that the time was right to open a store and by May of 2005 they opened their first store in Vernon BC.
Heidi & Tony like to compare the cultivation and consumption of tea to that of wine, factors such as color, aroma and after taste will affect the enjoyment of tea and most importantly, the quality of a cup of tea depends on its preparation. "There is no reason to be afraid of having a good cup of tea!"
Tony and Heidi along with their knowledgeable staff provide their customers with all the information they need to have great results.
They are also passionate about educating consumers about tea, including how to brew tea according to the type of tea or blend and as well how different qualities and blends of tea taste and affect people.
