Snow Maple

Maple sits lightly on soft, faintly honeyed white tea. The white tea without the tannin, that makes most flavoured black teas need milk, so the maple tastes as clean sweetness rather than syrup. Safflower and cornflower petals carry a delicate floral note through the finish. The tea brews to pale amber in the cup, tastes sweet without sugar and is light enough in caffeine for an afternoon or an evening.

The name comes from sugar bush season — the late-winter maple run, when Ottawa families pour hot syrup over fresh snow and lift it off the stick as taffy. Snow Maple is the quieter version of that same familiar sweetness.

This tea is delicious hot, beautiful cold-brewed overnight and it takes a splash of milk without collapsing.

A winter tradition for Ottawa residents, sugar bush season! The silver lining to the cold winter months and a great introduction to spring. It is a chance to see the production of pure Canadian maple syrup and enjoy the many delicious uses. Possibly the most memerable part of joining in is the taffy in the snow where children (and people of all ages) get some warm maple syrup to pour into the snow and make their own snow maple taffy.

Tea Legends: Caramel’s Missing Myth

If you’ve ever wandered into a popular coffee shop on a rainy afternoon, you’re sure to have heard someone ordering and some barista announcing the preparation of a caramel latte. These relatively simple drinks have become one of the mainstays of popular culture, yet the massive pilings of milk and sugar offer relatively little in the way of health benefits. What is so attractive about them, then? Quite simply: flavor.
