drank White Lemon by The Tea Haus
145 tasting notes

I just got my order from the Tea Haus, a small business here in Canada! Everything came so fast and well-packaged – it left me pleasantly surprised! :) I love the new see through covers that they are using as well because it allows me to see what the loose leaf looks like through the bag!

Smell: This smells like a lemon candy, but also slightly herbal or medicinal? This might be because of the lemon verbena or lemon balm present in this tea? Also! The smell STAYS in the cup after you finish steeping it! :)

Taste: This tastes creamy? Which caught me off guard! But when I checked the ingredients, this has lemon cream flavouring, so I guess that creaminess that I am getting from this tea makes sense! Also, I think I expected a refreshing citrus taste; however, the actual lemon flavour of this tea is less sharp and more mellow. It is not bitter at all, but smooth like lemon grass. To be honest, it tastes like a melted lemon hard candy without the sugar!

I mostly bought this because I know white tea has a lot of health benefits (it is extremely high in antioxidants) and I thought this flavoured white tea would be a fun way to try out more white teas!

I enjoyed this one! I am just not sure I enjoyed it enough to repurchase it, but luckily, they offer 25 gram bags! :) So, I am glad I got to try it.

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
- Caramel
- Floral (especially jasmine)
- Honey
- Nuts (hazelnut, almond)
- Sweet potato
- Fall fruits (apples, cranberries)
- Earl Grey
- Vanilla bean

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

- Tart (too much hibiscus)

- Ginseng

- Guarana powder 

- Coconut oil (or oily teas)

- Red rooibos
