Decided to finish off this wonderful tea with a big mug of it, and added a couple rocks of sugar and some almond milk to finish it off. This is one of the heartiest teas I’ve drank – it has a lot going on even without additions, but with a bit of rock sugar and almond milk this is creamy nutty goodness in a cup! Smells wonderful when brewing (and dry), and the flavour really lives up to that anticipation. Aromatica has some yummy teas, I must say. Local vendor, too!

I’ve heard good things about Vancouver, seems like a cool city! How’s the tea scene there?

It’s bustling and steadily growing, I’d say! I went to a tea festival here recently and there was hundreds of people there, so I think being into tea is “trendy” right now. There are a lot of tea vendors around here too, ranging from Teavana and DavidsTea to many smaller local vendors who are also getting a lot of attention.

Very nice! Tea festival, huh? I’ll have to check out some local vendors when I finally make a trip there. I’ve heard a lot of good things about DavidsTea as well, so they’re on the list too! Thanks!

Yeah, the Vancouver Tea Festival was in November! Pretty fun event. Some of the local vendors that I know of are: Aromatica Fine Teas, Tea Desire, Just Tea, Herbal Republic. I am familiar with teas from all except Just Tea, and they are wonderful!

Mike

Nice! I may try to plan a trip up during the festival! I’ll look into those vendors, thanks!

Bio

I joined Steepster Nov. 2/’15. I am an aspiring law student, currently studying for the LSAT. Meanwhile, I drink a lot of tea, work as a legal assistant and watch Netflix in my down time.

Ever since joining Steepster, I have tried a whole bunch new tea, met awesome people, and learned quite a lot! I am still expanding my tea horizons, currently working on exploring the oolong and puerh territories. Oolong has been a pleasant journey so far, while puerh is more rocky and uncertain. I shall keep trekking on!

My favourite teas are blacks and greens, both flavoured and unflavoured, and I have a few staples that I drink all the time.

I love to try teas that I would otherwise not have access to, and therefore I am always looking for people to trade samples with. Send me a message if you are interested!

My Wishlist is teas that I would like to restock (as a note to myself). My ratings are mostly arbitrary. Generally, anything above 90 I will likely restock. 70-80 I enjoyed, but will not go out of my way to get again. Anything below 70 was not that great, and the lower the mark the less I enjoyed it.
