A good everyday drinker, this maple tea hits all the sweet spots with an air of causality. The flavouring is tamer than the last maple tea I had, but that doesn’t mean it’s subtle; I don’t think that’s possible with maple syrup. It’s slightly buttery as well.

The unassuming black base is more of a malty prop for the delicious maple syrup than it is a key player. However, it still has enough going for it to stay relevant when milk is added to the equation.

This tea was the biggest winner with my mother today, who stole my cup and then used up the rest of the pot for her to-go mug.

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
