Citizen Tea Creamy Nut Oolong Tea Review

Citizen Tea Creamy Nut Oolong Review

I am pretty sure that this is a copy of the original Teaopia blend of Creamy Nut Oolong.  If not, Citizen Tea’s is very close.  No surprise there since the Teaopia founder who now owns Citizen Tea got it right the first time.    Citizen Tea Creamy Nut Oolong is nutty tasting, but not DAVIDsTEA […]

Citizen Tea Black Pearls Tea Review

Citizen Tea Black Pearls Review

When I moved to Canada, Teaopia was my go to for tea.  There was one in the mall a short walk from my place.  They were so friendly, had great teas and were really knowledgeable about the teas.   The steepers we all love?  Teaopia had a “Tea Master” even back then.   When it was sold […]

Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea Review (Holiday Tea 2017)

Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea Review 2017

Another of the Celestial Seasonings Holiday Teas, Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride.  Like Candy Cane Lane, this one is released each year for the holidays and can be found at Bulk Barn.  I think this leans a little more shortbread than pure sugar cookie, but the sweet taste is there and a great low calorie alternative […]

Stash Tea Christmas In Paris Tea Review 2017

Stash Tea Christmas In Paris is one of my favourite holiday teas.  Definitely one of my fave bagged holiday teas.  So easy to keep a couple in your purse when visiting people over the holidays who may not keep decent tea in the house.  There is only so much coffee a tea drinker can stomach […]

DAVIDsTEA White Cranberry Bark Tea Review & White Chocolate Cranberry Bark Recipe

DAVIDsTEA White Cranberry Bark Tea Review & White Chocolate Cranberry Bark Recipe

Another of the recent winter/holiday collection from DAVIDsTEA.  White Cranberry Bark sounds delicious and I was hoping for a little more creamy taste.  Perhaps because I just had a sample and only three of the little chocolate stars in it?  So might be creamier if you buy in larger quantities. “Hooked on that decadent white […]

DAVIDsTEA Caramel Shortbread Tea Review (Holiday Tea 2017)

DAVIDsTEA Caramel Shortbread Tea Review - Holiday 2017 Tea Davids Tea

Review of the new DAVIDsTEA winter/holiday collection coming up.  Starting with the one I was most looking forward to, Caramel Shortbread.  The loose tea smells a bit too fruity, but definitely the aroma of a caramel shortbread in there.  Reviews on the teas in this collection seem hit and miss, you either love them, hate […]

Monarch Tea Co Interview Katie Cyr

I am lucky enough to have several local tea companies near me.  It means I can pick up some hand blended tea without paying shipping as they are stocked in local indie type stores or sell at popups and craft fairs.  One of these is Monarch Tea Co.  You may remember them from my review […]

DIY Tea Advent Calendar – Where To Buy Tea Samples in Canada

DIY Tea Advent Calendar Canada - Where To Buy Tea Samples Canada - Advent Calendar Kits

While the Advent Calendars offered by DAVIDsTea and others are tempting, many of us have tried most of the teas in them.  Or we don’t want to spend that much.  If you are looking for a DIY Advent Calendar, you can make one just by using up samples you have at home.  If you are […]
