Oh Canada!

Thanks Ost for this sample.
Mmm this smells like sweet maple syrup. Annnd, it tastes almost as sweet as it smells. Sweet and syrup and woodsy. This is delicious. I bet it’s a great breakfast tea! But for now I’m enjoying it while watching Orange is the New Black.

This is pretty good! It does taste very syrup-y and buttery and a little bit creamy too. And even though it’s rooibos, no wood chip taste! I’m not a syrup connoisseur though and I don’t think I’ve ever had syrup that wasn’t Mrs. Butterworth or equivalent.

Also, those little maple leaves are adorable.

Holy cow. This smells and tastes almost exactly like Quakers instant maple & brown sugar oatmeal. It’s almost unreal. I added a bit of sweetener to mine since my sugar leaves didn’t fully dissolve. Think I’ll be keeping the rest of this sample. Why haven’t I tried this sooner?!

If you hadn’t already guessed, that is my favorite flavor of oatmeal, though I try not to eat the instant stuff anymore since it’s loaded with extra sugar. Now I can have this with my fake-sugar instead!

Nice tea but not as exciting to me as some people reviewed it. I like Birthday Cake and a few others a lot more. My taste buds may have been taking a break, but they did’t notice as much maple as I had hoped. Yummy, but not something I would buy. I’m going to rate it a little higher because I think it’s my taste buds that are out of whack.

Bought this online and am now looking to exchange it for something else. I do not taste maple here at all. To me, it tastes like a dead wrinkled up maple leaf that’s been picked from the dirt and steeped. So sad to think that for the same price I could’ve just bought real maple syrup.

UPDATE: I had this one iced and it is MUCH more palatable. I did add some rock sugar, but the maple syrup taste IS there, and it is quite lovely actually. I will up my rating from 19 to 69, but not any higher since in my opinion, this tea would be much more enjoyable warm if it had the right flavour.

Update again: No wait, 69 is still too high. 50.

I was recommended to try this tea by my friend. at first when buying it I was excited it looked awesome. when i finally steeped it it wasn’t my cup of tea it was way too sweet for me. it does lie up to its name but i do have to be in a sweet mood for it.

My last tea of the night. I enjoyed this oh so very much. It wrapped me up in a friendly hug and said “there there darling.” I had an emotionally taxing day of incessant worrying and planning, and definitely needed a delicious tea to wind down with. So sweet was this tea to me tonight, that I’ve already decided that I need to start my day with it tomorrow.

Pancakes with Maple syrup. YUM. Not an everyday tea, but a yummy dessert tea. It’s like a big cup of comfort. Haven’t tried re-steeping this one, but when I do, I will come back and update this note.

It’s rainy tonight, making it difficult to study. Trying to focus but it is becoming more and more difficult. I think I may need to overleaf this one. I’m not getting a whole lot of flavor out of it. I’m getting a little rooibos and a little caramel maybe. It is definitely drinkable, don’t get me wrong. I need to try more leaf before I decide if I am going to keep it around.

I am not a big fan of Rooibos…I am not sure why, but it just seems to lack something??? I tried “Oh Canada!” and just like the country it has character and strength. The maple taste comes shining through and a second steep is worth the time the effort.
