Another tea from today. Heads up to those out there who look forward to christmas for fancy french teas in Canada…Holt Renfrew has their inital F&M teas in stock and supposedly Nov 4 they’ll be launching the full shebang of their christmas teas + cookies from MF and F&M and any others they bring in. So far it’s looking a little different than the past 2 years so that might be a good thing. This is one they have not yet ever stocked there, but it’s a good one – not my favourite MF vanilla but not the worst by far!

Thanks for the heads up. I too am curious as to what they’ll bring in this year:-)

Bay-Bloor location was were i found things. Since i work there, i’ll try and post Nov when the full line comes out. Atm it’s a lot of different biscuits and the usual F&M teas. There were some new items like an MF fragrance thing based on a tea and some steepers…but mostly it’s the james and bicuits and such right now

Thank you, Sil. Please keep us posted further.

And so, how is this tea? Why is it not your favourite MK vanilla? Details, please.

Sil

Heh this tea is lovely. It’s a typical mf vanilla…subtle and delicious. It’s one of my favourites, but the black orchid? I think it is, is just a tiny bit more intense and delicious for me. It’s one of the other mf’sin my cupboard.

Thank you, Sil. I enjoy vanilla very much in tea, but it can be a tricky flavour.

I am going to make every effort to get down to Holt’s and see what they have on offer. Exciting times! :)

Evol Ving Ness you might already know this but Balzac’s coffee house locations and Pink Tartan in yorkville carry a limited selection of NF Teas year round. Generally it’s Marco Polo, the Chai, one of the breakfast teas, and a few others.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
