A couple months back I tried a cafe near my house that does High Tea called My Cup of Tea Dessert. They were fairly priced and had pretty unique food choices. Also, they have a new theme each month that is reflected by their food.

As for the tea, they had about 26 options of loose leaf to choose from with only 2 options being plain/non-flavored teas and not that many black tea options (which I found surprising). I ended up going with a green rooibos called Lime Cooler. My tea was minty but sweet from the lime and apple. I thought it went nicely with the foods as it was very refreshing.

Nothing about this tea time was over the top amazing. The food wasn’t the best I ever had and the tea was nice but I wasn’t begging to buy more. However, the experience was a lot of fun. I would definitely return again for a new theme to try out their other offerings.

I really want to go to a high tea. I believe I’ve gone once, to a place in Guelph, but I want to try out other places! Someday, someday.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
