A Toronto cafe that was known for its tea has just let people know that they've ceased operations effective immediately.

Hestia was reputed for being one of the best sources for a cup of tea in this city, but now they've closed down for good after 10 years in business.

Their location in the TD Bank Tower was stocked with all-natural organic teas with around 20 flavours available at the time, and the Hestia brand itself originated in Montreal.
