Calgary's loose tea is sold by two independent shops on either side of downtown. Tea Trader, an importer that has sold tea in the city since 1993, keeps its shop and warehouse in Ramsay and lists its estate teas by garden, from a 15 CA$ Earl Grey to a first-grade Dragonwell at 26 CA$ for 125 g. The Naked Leaf, in Kensington, sells its teas in tins with labels by local artists or in cheaper refill bags. Kensington also has Oolong Tea House, and TotaliTea trades from the Calgary Farmers' Market. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
