“Day 24 – As someone who isn’t a massive green tea fan, I was a little apprehensive about day 24. But, Westholme really did save the best till last! This mix of canadian grown tea leaves and twigs...” Read full tasting note
Like our tea bushes, we’ve had to learn to flow with the ins-and-outs of each season, no matter what they bring. Much of the shared national identity is based on a vast geography and an intense variety of weather. Whether or not each citizen particularly enjoys this process of adaptability, it seems to be a trait we’ve all acquired.
Inspired by a particularly difficult winter on this coast, this tea is made from the adaptive Canadian experience. After deep cold and heavy snow, the first round of this tea was made with the frost-bitten leaves and branches of our tea bushes. A felled Big Leaf Maple on the property was harvested into chips, and cold-smoked with the hand-harvested and hand-processed tea leaves and twigs. We now use more mature leaves and branches to form the structure of this Japanese-style Hojicha green tea.
