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.

Almond Biscotti

Almond Biscotti is one of my favorite flavoured black teas for many reasons. Firstly, the sweet flavor of an Almond Biscotti cookie that has been recreated in this delicious Black Tea. Secondly the combination of Organic Black Tea, almond flakes, caramel bits, chocolate drops and hazelnut brittle are simply genius together. It makes the perfect accompaniment or substitute for dessert. Personally, I find this tea very enjoyable at any time of the day. I often drink it with breakfast or take it on the road instead of coffee.

For this type of tea the recommended brew time is 3 – 4 minutes, with an average boiling water temperature. One teaspoon is needed in order to make an 8oz glass and two teaspoons for a 16oz glass. If you don’t have a Teaopia Tea Master I would recommend getting one. They sell a 16oz Tea Master as well as a 32oz for $20 and $30. Remember, you don’t have to drink it hot. It can always be enjoyed cold as it makes a refreshing iced tea, which is referred to as Shock Freezing. However, if desired you may add honey or sugar to any tea while it is steeping and enjoy a hot tea as opposed to shock freezing it.

By pouring the hot tea over ice, the principles of shock freezing are applied. The sudden cooling preserves the full aroma as well as the active ingredients of the tea. This method also prevents the usual cloudiness that often develops in Black Teas as they cool off. The cloudiness, however, is purely optical and has no negative impact on the flavour of the tea.

Mudslide

Mudslide, the new favourite chocolate rooibos tea from Teaopia, is a divine combination of organic rooibos, banana bits, cocoa peel, walnuts, chocolate drops and lastly coconut. This tea is great at any time of the day and is very enjoyable when served with honey, white sugar, Teaopia’s brown sugar as well as milk. This tea is currently for sale at all 44 Teaopia locations across Canada. The wonderful thing about Teopia tea is that it tastes great hot or cold! Chocolate rooibos tea is a powerful antioxidant that helps clean out the immune system and is a great step on your journey to wellness. This tea helps those with sleeping problems, hypertension and irritability and is proven to slow down the natural aging process. This tea is caffeine free therefore is perfect for those who are very sensitive to caffeine and younger children.

Chocolate rooibos is a great mixing tea. Mudslide and amazing vanilla is a great combination when mixed together as a hot tea. Another classic combination would be Mudslide mixed with cocoa caramel, which are both in the same tea family. The chocolate in the mudslide and the caramel in the coca caramel mixes really well together because they are both rooibos tea’s and they have similar flavours added to them, for example caramel and chocolate.  

Mudslide is currently my new favourite tea! What’s yours? It should also be noted that outside of the chocolate rooibos tea there are many other suitable Teaopia tea options that both taste great and fulfill extraordinary nutritional needs.
