Tim Hortons recently made their teas available in the grocery stores. Tim Hortons Tea at Home comes in five varieties and I received four of them through my latest samplesource box. The only one I have not tried in their Chai. Orange Pekoe comes in larger 72 bag boxes with unsealed sachets. They all have […]

Citizen Tea Jiaogulan Tea Review
It has been so long since I did a tea review. Life has been hectic that bagged Red Rose has become my norm instead of my usual calming ritual of making tea. So today I am sharing a new to me tea that I received as a sample with my last Citizen Tea order. Jiaogulan […]
Citizen Tea Creamy Nut Oolong Tea 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 […]
Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea Review (Holiday Tea 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
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 Caramel Shortbread Tea Review (Holiday Tea 2017)
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 […]
A Cuppa Tea With Monarch Tea Co – Interview With 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 […]
A Cuppa Tea With Tickled Tea – Interview With Kristin Thompson
A new series on my blog. Get to know the people behind the small tea companies we love! Starting with Kristin Thompson from Tickled Tea. Kristin is based in Stony Plain, Alberta, a small town west of Edmonton. She blends her teas at home out of her own gorgeous kitchen (kitchen goals – apartment kitchens […]
The6Tea The Rooibos Rainbow Tea Review
Another tea from The6Tea, a local Toronto area tea company. If you are not familiar with The6Tea, I first heard about them because you can make your own tea blends through them at an affordable price. I previously tried All That Jazz from them (featuring a photo of the Jazz Monster of course) and now […]
