Calgary's Tea Trader has been serving tea aficionados for three decades, carrying hundreds of specialty teas from around the world.
has been serving Calgary tea aficionados for three decades, carrying hundreds of specialty teas from around the world. Owner Ted Jones opened the first Tea Trader store in Inglewood in 1994 in a ground-floor space shared with an antiques shop. From there, Tea Trader moved a number of times within Inglewood — one of the most memorable locations being the second-floor space accessed by a street-level door on 9th Avenue that opened directly to a stairwell.
Hailing from Norwich, England, Jones practically has tea running through his veins — Tea Trader’s e-shop counterpart, Mr. Maxey’s Tea, is named in ode to a local tea purveyor he recalls from his childhood years. Jones now travels to tea gardens around the world to meet with his suppliers and source new varieties of tea. His Ramsay shop is full of old teapots, canisters and tea chests collected over its many years in business.“Growing up in England it’s a staple; you’re drinking it all the time. We had a tea supplier called Mr. Maxey who would deliver to our door — he’d buy the tea at the London auctions, repackage it and bring it to the doorstep — so there’s a strong reminiscence for me.
