Kambaa Kenya from Tea Time

Mmmm super nice strong black tea that I usually use to make stove top Chai with. Brewed it for approx 3 mins in a teapot and had it with honey and almond milk today. It was great…why didn’t I brew it this way sooner? I think I have had this tea in my cupboard for well over a year or two and I never thought to just brew it in a teapot. How silly!!

Earl Grey Naturally Decaffeinated tea from Tea Time
90

A really nice and strongly scented decaf earl grey! Add a bit of honey and almond milk and i have a perfect cup of tea for the evening when I don’t want all the caffeine.

Soursop from Tea Time
96

A really nice fruity black tea…very similar to blackberry tea with a sort of floral note and a hint of tartness at the end.

Creme Au Caramel Naturally Flavoured Rooibos from Tea Time
80

This smells decadent! Nice creamy caramel flavour! A really nice Rooibos without any artificial aftertaste:p the tea is a nice after dinner treat. I am really trying to find more non caffeinated teas that will not affect my already weird sleeping/waking cycles. I think this may be a flavour that has the potential to become a permanent item in my cupboard.

Marzipan Naturally Flavoured Rooibos from Tea Time
93

This was a tea flavour that was recommended to me by the owner of Tea Time. I got a sample of this from him when I went into the shop because I told him I was looking for different rooibos teas. I wasn’t sure if I would like it because I am not a fan of marzipan…but I like almond. I brewed the sample at home…he gave me a generous amount so all four of us in the family got to have a cup. The boys were asking for more the next day! I have had it a few times now and amazingly it smells exactly like marzipan! I definitely taste the almond in it. This one is going to be a keeper in our house!

Pear Spice Naturally Flavoured Rooibos from Tea Time

I have been trying a bunch of different Rooibos’ in a quest to get more decaf teas to choose from. I’ve had this quite a few times now and I love the flavour and scent. It comes off as a floral pear flavour. Rooibos hasn’t been my favourite type of tea but with my new Libre tea mug I have been drinking a lot of this lately. Will have to try it iced once the weather gets hotter!

Decaf Orange Spice from Tea Time
97

I was looking for a nice black tea that I was able to drink in the evenings and the owners at Tea Time tea shop in North Vancouver BC recommended this one. This has become our favourite black tea to drink in the evening.

Oolong from Tea Time
78

On the first steep, this imported tea is delicate without lacking in any flavour; it is very earthy and has a delicious aroma in the pot. As it sits it gets earthier, and can tend towards a bitterness that is still pleasant.

The leaves must have the proper room to expand, or the flavour is not as strong and is grassier than otherwise. I would suggest brewing this tea just in the bottom of the pot, instead of in a tea ball or a nest.

Lemon Ginger from Tea Time
82

Practically overflowing with vitamins and antioxidants, this is my favourite tea for when I feel a cold coming on. It’s particularly with a slice of lemon to give it an extra kick.

Cherry Blossom from Tea Time
68

Not really picking up on the cherry, but still a quality rooibos overall. The leaves are particularly flaky, but easy enough to scoop out with a spoon.

Windsor Castle Organic Tea from Tea Time
93

This delightful tea is flavourful and smooth, with a strong finish. Almost amber coloured as it steeps, it fills the area with its rich aroma.

Can be enjoyed with or without milk, but my preference is without.

Lady Grey from Tea Time
78

It took me a while to warm up to this tea and it’s heavy floral notes, but this blend is still superior to others that I’ve tried. Doesn’t hold up to the original Earl Grey, but still a fine tea to have with cookies on a rainy afternoon.

Peach Apricot Ceylon from Tea Time
92

My go-to tea when I’m feeling up for something a little more adventurous than plain orange pekoe. Very light, takes a while to steep: perfect if you have nothing better to do than sit alone in a cave all day.

Balance Tea from Tea Time

Casablanca Chamomile from Tea Time
86

Had no idea chamomile helped with anxiety — definitely going to make this a nightly thing and will probably alternate with Balance Tea :)

So yummy.

Balance Tea from Tea Time

The best night time tea I’ve ever had. I’m not usually into ginger but this has just the right amount — you know it’s there, but it’s not overpowering. This tea is oddly soothing and has an amazing licorice after taste. Currently trying to make it a ritual to have a cup or two before bed; it’s so comforting and makes me want to fall right asleep.
