Sample sipdown til my order comes in!

Had a cup of this for breakfast this morning. Didn’t have time to really draw it out and savour it, but the chocolatey, malty notes were just as satisfying first thing this morning.

I tried a resteep but I don’t think there were enough leaves for that, it was pretty flavorless.

Thanks Miss B!

Hope you get it soon, have you ordered many?

I really wish Canadian customs were more consistent on the speed they process packages…I’ve had shipments to the same customer take 6 days up to a month. :( I wonder if there’s a way for me to get pre-authorization from them so that my shipments get fast-tracked through customs?

Courtney

I’m so excited for my order to arrive!

ohfancythat

@TheTeaFairy I ordered three :)

@WPTC no worries on my end. I know it will get here….just excited to try them!

ohfancythat

Me too Courtney!

TheTeaFairy

WP, I can’t complain cause I got my order fairly quickly. I appriciate the fact that you ship really fast. Pre-authorization might be something worth checking out, but I have no idea if it’s possible or not…(one month is way too long, I’d go nuts!!!)

Whispering Pines Tea Company

Do you know if all Canadian shipments go through the same customs location, or if there are multiple locations for different areas of Canada?

Courtney

There are multiple locations. Most often I see things go through near Montreal or Vancouver.

ohfancythat

Yes and I’m on the east coast so it would likely be different for me, though I never really paid attention, haha

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
