Oh. My. Gosh.
First I will start by telling you that I bought this for my mom as a birthday gift. She flippin’ loves teas like this; the more Canadian the better! What could be more Canadian than this: wintergreen leaves, cedar green, white pine needles, and red sumac berries. She was so excited about it she had to brew up a pot right away…
It’s like someone took the forest, steeped it, and made tea! Takes me to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park straight away, like I am smelling the pine in the air—only instead of just smelling I am drinking it as well. You definitely taste the wintergreen first, but there’s depth added with the pine, spruce, and berries. Light, refreshing, crisp perfection.
Ah this one sounds amazing :) Loved your blog entry about it
Thanks for sharing the blog entry. I love your teapot!
Thank you! I should use it soon, it’s been neglected since I got a gaiwan. Don’t worry little pot, I’ll use you tomorrow :D
Huh, I’m positive that there were notes on this one before, too. From Indigobloom, for one.
Oops, you meant notes written by you XD
don’t make my hope goes high like that ! after seeing the review was hoping that this tea was back but no :( that what happen when i don’t buy big quantity of something i like right now and wait formlater
Silly Steepster, sometimes deleting our notes!
Hey Zoltar, you’re right – sorry to get your hopes up :(
It’s okay i’m sure they are gonna make another tea like that for the winter this time i’m gonna buy a lot of it :P

Thanks! I got them both from DavidsTea, the teapot seems to no longer exist :( But the cups do!

thanks for the advice Zoltar, i just emailed them and i’ll let you know if i get any results.
okay, so, long story, but happy ending.
i placed two tea orders with DavidsTeas this month. (i know i have a problem.) (butit’scoldweathertimeandtheteawasjustallsowonderfulsoundingandihadn’tboughtanyinalongtimeanddamnitineededthattravelmug!)
one was placed real early in the month and when i got a shipping notice for the second late order i placed just a few days ago i decided to call DavidsTea and see what’s up. now a few days before that i had randomly emailed them to ask about the tiny glass gongfu teapot in your pictures as Zoltar recommended. ….drumroll…. now they are urgently shipping my tardy order to me and sending me the teapot free. next week is gonna be a teapocolypse!
yay for you ! :) the teapot is really great and hard to get good that you could get one and even more for free lol
Oh my gosh what AWESOME news! Best customer service ever :D
Ok, I need to find some of this.
I still have some ;)
It might not be fresh, but when I get around to swapping again, I will send some off! Even if it’s not “fresh” per se, it still tastes the same to me! Wintergreeny!
That would be fabulous. Somehow I only came across it today.
