Wow, this is a good tea. Like other people, I love Deb’s earl grey blends! Whatever bergamot she is using is working; it really makes itself known. I think this would make a good latte, but it has lemon peel in it, so it might cause the milk to curdle! :(

But this is everything I would want in a more floral-forward EG. It smells like bergamot with a hint of citrus from the lemon grass and lemon peel. The smell also lingers in the cup after steeping.

I think I might have over leafed this one just a tad bit, I will under leaf it next time, lol! But it tasted a tad bit bitter (but this might be my fault); however, the floral and citrus notes came together beautifully! This was not tart at all either, but it had a nice, subtle citrus note which helped balance everything out.

I might reorder this. It was delicious. :)

Hello everyone!

So, how did I get into tea? I think I have always had a fascination with tea. But I really got obsessed with it after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved how Uncle Iroh used tea as a way to both practice self-care and connect with others.

I aspire to do the same through my tea endeavours.

My Favourite Canadian Small Tea Businesses: (Thus far! As I explore new tea brands, I am sure this list will grow)

Dessert by Deb
The Tea Haus
The Chai Brewing Company

My Preferred Preparation:
For black teas, I prefer the stove-top method with milk and sugar. For all other teas and herbal infusions, I usually prefer having them hot without any add-ins. However, I do like an occasional iced tea! Especially for some fruity or floral blends.

My Tea Preferences:
I enjoy flavoured teas more than straight teas; however, I do have a soft spot for traditional green or oolong teas.

Favourite Flavours:
- Masala chai (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and other warming spices!)
- Cream
- Mint
- Tropical fruit (lychee, mango, pineapple)
- Maple 
- Orange
- Roasted/smokey

- Floral (especially jasmine)
- Honey
- Nuts (hazelnut, almond)

Least Liked Flavours:
- Anything that tastes too artificial (especially vanilla or chocolate!)
