Surprisingly fresh and lively, lightly grassy, with the uplifting quality of Ceylon teas.
Our Ceylon Rainforest Green is very similar in leaf style to our classic Ceylon Forest Green, but greener in flavour and aroma. It has a full body with a lively vegetal character which tends towards a Japanese green tea but considerably more mellow and smooth with the serene and uplifting qualities of Ceylon teas. Very unique specialty green tea. Delectable, full body and complex, like a good wine.

Useless. If you like hot water with a little colour this is for you. I couldn’t get any worthwhile flavor out of this tea. If you are new to green tea this might appeal to you. |

I already reviewed this tea, as I do love it, but I have lately compared it to the Darjeeling Green and have to say the difference in the leaf brings it out on top. This has large leaves, maybe that’s what I prefer! |

An awesome green tea, no bitter taste and a fresh flavour of the Ceylon Forest. |

I love this green tea. It has a light yet distinctive flavour. I like to brew my green tea up to 3 times from the same teaspoon of leaves, so that the caffeine is gradually reduced through the day. This tea handles that very nicely, retaining flavour and aroma. The colour is delicate and clear. |

There are many legends surrounding the origin of drinking tea. One story tells us that it began in China thousands of years ago. It is said that the leaves of a Camellia plant dropped off and landed in a bowl of boiling water. The Emperor at the time tasted the result and found them to his liking and the art of drinking tea was born.

It’s hard to beat a warm cheese biscuit, fresh out of the oven – but, add a little smoke flavour from a bold Lapsang Souchong, and you’ve got yourself a real savoury treat.

With the weather heating up, iced tea season is in full swing. And while there’s nothing quite as refreshing as a perfectly brewed cup of iced tea (maybe with a squeeze of citrus), if you’re looking to up your iced tea game, try cooling down with iced tea cubes!

Fruity and light. Sounds like a nice summer drink, right?

It doesn’t get any sweeter (or more Canadian) than maple season! Every year from February-April, farmers in eastern Canada extract the sugary sap from trees to produce maple syrup. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Canada produces 85% of the world’s maple syrup!

The bright, vibrant hibiscus blossom is recognized in many parts of the world as much for its gorgeous petal displays and cultural significance as for the splendidly sweet and tangy taste of the herbal tea it produces. In Hawaii, for instance, a woman who wears the hibiscus flower behind her left ear is indicating that she would like to take a lover, while one who wears it behind her right has already been claimed. One who wears it behind both, however, may present a bit of a quandary to the potential man, or else a laid-back dream come true: she already has one lover, but wouldn’t mind another.
