Popular Tasting Notes

its kinda good but I had better

A little bit of sweetener and this makes the perfect evening tea! I love it with agave-it accents the subtle coconut and warms you from the inside. I wasn’t super keen on the sickly sweet smell but it steeps wonderfully. Caffeine free to boot! Delicious hot tea for chilly fall nights. A favourite!

About the best of the builders’ teas.

This tea is really strong and very flavorful with teabags made from a nice cloth-like mesh material

I picked this up as part of my haul at the ottawa tea festival today, and decided it would be my first cup!

I was so intrigued by the smell of this (like mint mixed with hot cinnamon hearts), but was a bit worried about how it would taste. I did notice the leaves were larger than what I’m used to (as a tea newbie most of my teas come from David’s tea).

I’m happy to say this tea delivered! It was frankly one of the best black teas I’ve ever had. It was smooth and minty, and surprisingly not spicy like it smells.
I’m very excited to try the other tea I bought from here, and to visit this shop as soon as i can justify it!!

A very delicious tea, not overly strong as I thought it would be.

Much better with a hint of milk and some sugar. I usually hate sweet hot tea (beyond masala chai) but this is definitely one that works better sweet for me. I want to try it as though it were chai later just to see how it goes, because it’s rocking right now.

I’m not getting any of the sweetness that others are tasting in this tea. It is oddly savory and I’m not sure I like it. Where is the caramel? The blueberry? The dried leaves smelled so good! I don’t taste any of those tasty delicious things in here. One of the reported flavors for this is “chicken soup” – how apt. It is very soup-like. Meh.

Also, I hadn’t realized there was ginger in this when I placed the order, and I’m not sure if I can attribute my ambivalence to my hatred of ginger, or if this tea is just doesn’t work.

Maybe I’ll try a shorter steep.

A little lighter on the steep…helps a heep! Nice!

(Rating bump up)

This tea has definitely grown on me. I imagine drinking this tea alongside a couple vanilla wafers.. yumm!
