About NovelTea Bookstore & Gifts

NovelTea is a proud, female-owned (mother-in-law and daughter-in-law team) East Coast Canadian Company based out of Truro, N.S. Established in 2014, NovelTea started as a bookstore that sold coffee and tea. However, we quickly realized that our community had a desire to enjoy their love of reading in different ways. Because of this, in 2016 we were inspired to start creating and selling our own book-themed products in the NovelTea cafe with great success. In 2020, a devastating fire destroyed our original bookstore-cafe location, which prompted us to re-imagine the potential of the bookstore side of our business and what it could offer the book community. This is when we made the decision to open our standalone bookstore. We also realized that there are many small, independent bookstores just like us who would benefit from carrying locally made, book-themed products for their own customers. Thus, our NovelTea Wholesale Collection was born. Many of our products are handcrafted at our headquarters in Truro. The NovelTea wholesale collection includes original designs as well as collaborations with local artists. Our creative, unique products are sure to resonate with book-lovers everywhere.
