drank Maple Chocolate by Canada True
157 tasting notes

Received this as a gift from someone who visited Niagara Falls. I’ve been there once myself, albeit years ago, and I have fond memories of eating these little maple-flavored chocolates called “Moose Droppings.” Anyway, the color of this tea is on point. I used a clear glass mug and it could definitely pass for a glass of just straight up maple syrup. The flavors are actually fairly mild but are bathed in this vast sweet profile. I taste more of the chocolate than the maple, but I suppose that was the idea for this blend. They have another one which is just maple without chocolate, so I’ll try that one soon. But overall this tea is tasty.

Flavors: Chocolate, Maple, Maple Syrup

drank Maple Earl Grey by Canada True
478 tasting notes

This was a Christmas gift. I know exactly where they got it, because it’s still got the sticker. Plus I’ve thought about picking up this very tin from there a few times.

I like maple, and I like earl grey, so there wasn’t much that could go wrong. And I’m actually enjoying this quite a bit. It’s just your classic fannings-packed teabag on a string, but it’s nice. You get the maple first, nice and sweet, and as that mellows you get the more pungent earl grey. It’s a nice balance. And surprisingly, you get the honey oak sri lankan black coming through as well.

Not bad.

Smells delightful, with a sparkling winey sort of aroma. Sadly it doesn’t taste like much. I have the loose leaf version of this tea, not bagged, and I was pleased to see that the leaves weren’t crushed or broken. (ie not the usual tea dust).

Flavors: Grapes

Nothing too spectacular about this tea. My first couple of sips were better then my last few. Perhaps it’s better hot. Also think i need to steep it for just a bit longer.

Strange VariaTEA TTB: Tea 21

Watching Stranger Things finale and since it’s basically a movie at the 2.5 hour runtime I had to pick a tea to sip on during. I thought waffles because Eggos but the only waffle tea I had was banana gingerbread waffles and that wasn’t right. So maple since that goes on waffles…plus it’s Canada Day

This was a cheap seeming teabag so I didn’t expect much but it’s not astringent, which was a good start. It’s sort of maple-y and it’s definitely sweet but it’s coming off nutty to me. The nuttiness is throwing me since maple tea should be more syrup-sweet. It’s better than expected but not a favorite.

GCTTB Rd 3:

I don’t usually expect much from tea bags and I have gotten used to maple teas disappointing me so you can imagine my surprise when I took a sip and immediately got a mouthful of thick, sweet maple goodness. Shocking and delicious. However, as I continue to drink, the maple slowly fades leaving a fairly mediocre black tea in it’s place. Still, it was an enjoyable cup while it lasted so thank you mewakeling for sharing :)

A friend gifted me a tin of this for my birthday. I don’t often drink a lot of bagged teas, but this one wasn’t bad. On her advice, I tossed in just a little sweetener to keep things interesting. When I pulled the tea bag I was, honestly, a bit concerned. The base was bitter, the maple absent, unimpressive.

However, as the tea started to cool, the base really receded and the maple flavours began to shine through. I think there may be something really interesting to this tea, I just need to play with it a bit and see what I can get it to do for me.

Thank you TheTeaFairy for sending this one to me.

It’s just a bagged blueberry tea. IMHO there are much better blueberry teas out there.

I added the to the EG version to this one and steeped them together, trying to hide the EG.

Yeah it worked – maple no EG!!! That worked for me. I think this is just ok – the maple is really simple – just sweet maple – wish there had been another note to break up the sweetness.
Thank you TheTeaFairy for sending these to me.

This one scared me. I don’t do EG and TheTeaFairy also sent me a sample of just the Maple version of this tea. Sooooooooooo I put this tea bag and the maple tea bag into the cup and steeped them both together.

Haha, I’m laughing at myself because I didn’t know what EG stood for and then I realized Earl Grey! Haha

Dexter

LOL yes EG = Earl Grey – but no matter what you call it – I don’t like it… :))

TheTeaFairy

These are my go to teas at work when I don’t have time to handle loose leaf. I always put two bags in a large cup, but never thought about mixing them up. But of course, YOU have, lol.

Dexter

LOL I don’t always play by the rules…

Overall I feel this doesn’t taste as maple-y as it should. Maybe I’ve just been drinking too many herbal teas lately? I feel like there’s this maple tree earthiness I’m missing out on. I definitely taste the black tea in there though, and its delicious! At one point I was addicted to this tea.

Oops. I was in a rush when I prepped this tea and forgot about it until class time, so it was way over-steeped. This would probably be why it was way too cinnamon-y.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Tobacco

This one’s really a hit or miss — although the same can be said of my tea steeping skills. Sometimes, it’s perfection and sugar mixed together in a heady, velvety cup, but other times it’s nauseatingly sweet and fruity.

huh, not bad. this one was recouped from my winner’s tea expedition yesterday. it’s been a long time since i’ve had a bagged tea and honestly, i’ve become enough of a loose leaf snob that if i’d been using my literacy (notice i say IF) i likely wouldn’t have bought. i grabbed this one and a blueberry. really….. not bad. both teas carry a distinct cookie quality. i used two tea bags for my 16 oz mug and a 3 minute steep.

it has layers. the maple is more olfactory when it’s screaming hot, but becomes more tangible as taste as it cools.

don’t think i’ll buy again, but i have had far, far worse in my life!!!

LOL Too funny, I saw this one at my Winners today but didn’t buy it. I did buy a box of Mighty Leaf Tea – Organic African Nectar – it says “whole leaf pouches” but that might be just a fancy name for teabags. It’s funny how when confronted with a “wall” of tea we forget everything we’ve learned and just buy randomly. :)

JustJames

i think i saw that one, lol. literacy was working there. apparently the word ‘pouches’ was working, but the word ‘bags’ was not. the blueberry from this company is quite nice…. haven’t gotten around to rating.

Now, I bought this tea quite a while ago, thinking it would actually taste like maple. until this evening, I have only ever drunk one cup of this tea, and I’m considering putting the rest in my compost. I’ll tell you why:

It smells delicious and inviting, even when it’s brewed, it smells strong super maple-y. But the taste is nothing like maple at all! Overall it is very bland and a bit bitter, like regular orange pekoe. This tea does not live up to its name at all! What a shame…. now excuse me while I go give the rest of the tea in the pot in my plants.

I had this one today, but I know that I let it steep far too long. I found it to be a bit too strong for me. I think I’ll have to watch my steep time next time. I didn’t notice the maple flavour too much… but again, I think that’s because I let it stay for far too long.

I’ll rate it when I try again.

The first time I have a new black tea I like to try it plain first, even though I usually put milk and sometimes honey into mine. It’s sort of so I get an idea about the flavour without anything else messing with my perception. Yeah, I’ve got it all down to a science. ;)

This one is pretty plain actually, the Ceylon base is mostly what I taste, although there are sweet hints of maple syrup. It’s not harsh-tasting, other than that it’s a pretty generic Ceylon.

I had this tea for the first time the other day and I fell in love! I just can’t find it online I live in the states so I’m bummed I can’t find it. As for those of you who don’t like it (Indigobloom) I don’t know why you found it untasty. You must not like simple teas like black tea. The icewine tea I found is tasty with just a little scoop of sugar. It brings out all the flavor and makes it robust. And as for Gramarye I didn’t find it to have a bad after taste at all that only happened when I left the bag in too long and it broke. As for me it will be a regular in my cuboard if i can find it again. :-)

Fruity, definitely fruity, and even winey. Just not tasty! I couldn’t even finish the cup. That makes three cups of tea that went unfinished today! I need to stop experimenting… (hahahaha as IF I could even attempt such a thing)
Not much else worth saying about this one. I was tempted to try it with milk but I doubt even that could save this.
That said, if anyone can find a use for this(cooking perhaps?), I have a bunch waiting to be used up!
