'Manoomin Apple Pie' is the newest blend from DAVIDsTEA, crafted in collaboration with Indigenous-owned Tea Horse, and it’s everything cozy season dreams are made of. Launched April 3, this herbal tea is a warm hug in a cup -- layering the comforting flavor of freshly baked apple pie with roasted wild rice (manoomin), cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
Rooted in a family recipe passed down through generations, this caffeine-free blend is a story of connection, heritage, and shared values. The launch continues DAVIDsTEA’s growing partnership with Tea Horse, co-founded by Anishinaabe ikwe Denise Atkinson, and honors Indigenous traditions while celebrating sustainability and craftsmanship.
As part of a limited-edition capsule, 10% of proceeds from the collection -- including 'Manoomin Maple' and the beautifully illustrated Nordic Mug by artist Emily Kewageshig -- will support the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
