This was one of the first Dessert by Deb blends that I ever tried, and I ended up getting it again to re-try it, and I am wondering if I judged it too harshly the first time? This blend was also my first time trying something other than bagged tea, and it was my first introduction into the world of fancy, loose leaf tea too!

I believe I did not cook this properly the first time. The key is to make sure you steep this at a low temperature. When you do that, the tea tastes refreshing, toasty, earthy, and coconut. Grateful I got to re-try this blend!

I think it is a good genmaicha; however, for it to exude marshmallow crispy square, I think it needed actual marshmallows in here, lol!

Flavors: Coconut, Cream, Earth, Rice, Toast, Toasted Rice, Toasty

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
