Snow Maple
The light and floral notes of white tea and flower petals combine perfectly with maple flavour. Delectable and sophisticated tea.
Story, Folklore, History...
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.

My customers love the snow maple. I also find it really tasty. It’s naturally lightly sweet, so have a little taste before you add any sugar/sweetener—you may find you don’t need it! Submitted by FOHTY

I was at The Bean Counter in Picton and was served this just delightful tea. As soon as I got home, I had to look up where I could buy some. This is a clean tea with simple, fragrant notes. A true delight. It has captured the essence of maple. Submitted by an2172

There are different varieties of tea available, but do you know what each one is? In this blog series, we will explore a different type of tea in depth. White tea is the least processed of all tea varieties, so we will start here.
All tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. Within Camellia sinensis, there are two different varieties, sinensis and assamica. Assamica is typically found in the Assam region of India, and sinensis is found in most other parts of the world where tea is grown.
So what makes tea white? Actually, very little. White tea is the closest you can get to a freshly picked leaf. It is basically a tea leaf that is dried and not processed at all.
