Honey Vanilla, Rock Sugar & Fireside Smores Tea

Honey Vanilla

A heavenly combination of Oolong Tea, hazelnut brittle, vanilla bits, and marigold flower petals. This dessert like tea is perfect for any occasion and is sure to please any palate. I tend to drink it after breakfast and usually only put a little bit of Teaopia rock sugar, this is no ordinary sugar it is German Rock Cane Sugar. It’s is a delicious and natural way to sweeten your tea.

German Rock Cane Sugar has all the nutrients of cane sugar since it does not go through the same process as refined sugar. This unprocessed, pure sugar doesn’t alter the flavour of your tea and gives it a natural sweetness. For best results add the sugar to your tea leaves as they are infusing to ensure that the sugar fully dissolves. Teaopia sells two different size jars the smaller one contains 200 grams and sells for $6. The larger jar contains 500 grams and sells for $15. Teaopia also sells a sugar stick, it is an elegant way of sweetening your tea. Rock candy sugar sticks are made from crystalized pure sugar on a wooden stick. It sells for only $1.

Fireside Smores Tea

Love S`Mores? Teaopia loves it so much that they them so much so they made it into a tea! A delectable combination of Black Tea, Oolong Tea, Pai Mu Tan White Tea, Mini Marshmallows, Cocoa Peel, Chocolate Drops, Hazelnut Brittle, Pomegranate Flower Blossoms and Marigold Flower Petals. Indulge in this delicious tea. Make it into a steamed tea latte for an over the top, guilt free treat! Approx 80 grams in the tin and sells for $15, this tea is so good they are almost sold out at all locations.

Baked Apple Pie


This dessert like tea is a combination of Oolong Tea, apple pieces, sultana raisins, cinnamon bits, almond flakes and vanilla bits. A deliciously, guilt free and healthy way to get the classic flavours of apple pie in your cup! It is a classic tea in my opinion in the since that you can drink it at any time of day and it will be appropriate with either breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in-between. This tea is amazing with a little bit of Teaopia brown sugar and or honey and milk. It currently sells for $9.50 for 50 grams. If you were to consider buying a cup of it in the store for $2.50, than purchasing 50 grams or more is an excellent deal. Overall I would definitely recommend this tea to a beginner tea drinker or even an avid tea drinker, it is great for all. Time for some tea knowledge!

Oolong tea comes mainly from China and Taiwan. After tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant are plucked and withered, they are processed through careful drying, rolling and steaming and a short period of oxidation that turns the leaves from green to red brown. These teas produce a crisp, clean, refreshing cup that delivers a smooth even taste, some of which can be used for multiple infusions. Just remember if you are re-steeping your tea to let it steep longer than the first infusion. Fell free to leave a comment I am always interested in hearing what you have to say.

Milk Oolong

Oolong tea comes mainly from China and Taiwan. After tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant are plucked and withered, they are processed through careful drying, rolling and steaming and a short period of oxidation that turns the leaves from green to red brown. These teas produce a crisp, clean, refreshing cup that delivers a smooth even taste, some of which can be used for multiple infusions

This Oolong is revered for its unique flavours, which are best described as premium Oolong with sweet milk and light orchid notes. Milk Oolong is harvested at a particular time of year when the temperature shifts, which is a rare occurrence that adds to the popularity of this Oolong. This tea is able to have multiple short steepings and still maintain its sweet golden liquor and creamy aroma.

This tea currently sells for $9.50 per 50 grams at all Teaopia locations. It can be brewed anywhere between 25 – 35 cups of tea. This is a really good price because if you were to consider the quality of the tea and the amount of cups that you can get from the 50 grams. It works out to be an average of 30 cents for a cup of tea when you make it on your own. Now talk about value! Personally I find this tea very tasty without any sugar or honey, it is one of those teas you will find very enjoyable naturally. It goes well at any time of the day and will satisfy you no matter what the mood.
