Oh Canada

I’m a Canadian, and I looove maple, so of course I had to try this!

The loose tea smells amazing in the tin, lots of maple, and it is fun to look at as well – the different coloured maple leaf shaped candies are adorable!

When steeped it definitely doesn’t disappoint – it is a lovely rooibos with a fair bit of maple, no doot aboot it! It it sweet but not sickeningly so – great for fending off a sweet tooth craving! It does have caramel and toffee bits in it along with the candy maple leaves, so I haven’t used any additional sweeteners in this. I have tried it with and without milk and it is delicious both ways.

The aroma is absolutely wonderful, strong and a little syrupy – I can see why some people think of pancakes when trying this. The maple flavour lingers in the aftertaste, yum!

I really enjoy this, and I’m sure I will repurchase it at some point. I did purchase Birthday Cake recently as well – I had read some reviews that said the two were similar, but I am not finding that to be the case, beyond the fact that they are both rooibos based and sweet. I prefer Birthday Cake, which I was surprised by, but they are both wonderful – vanilla frosting or maple, I don’t think you can really go wrong with either!

The aroma is what sold me on this tea and it was my first experience with a rooibos, and what an introduction it was! I’ve played around with a few different sweeteners and I actually will throw a dash of real maple syrup in the cup as a treat.

Once steeped, it still retains the maple smell which for me is half the enjoyment of having a cup of it.

Definitely a tea I’ll always go back to if I don’t know what I’m in the mood to have. A delicious red rooibos, which is not something you’ll normally hear me saying but it’s for a sure a tea that makes me ‘proud’ to be Canadian. It just simply tastes Canadian and the little coloured maple leaf candies just add to the feel of this tea so much. Practically feels like you’re drinking maple syrup.

Got this in my Sweet Indulgence sampler pack.
Not sure what I was really expecting, but from the description, I was somewhat excited to try it as I placed an order. Leaf shaped sprinkles, how cute is that? Presentation gets a plus.
Once I’d steeped it however, I just couldn’t get over the fakeness and sickly sweetness of the maple flavor. Eventually I got tired of having the rest of the tea sitting in a mug next to me, and tossed it. After the first try, I’m not so willing to give it another go.

One of my most favorite rooibos teas!

Favourite favourite tea. Wish it had a tiny bit more of caramel/maple flavour but I already love it. <3

I love sweet tea, but I found this one almost too sweet. The maple tastes wonderful, but was a little much the few times I’ve had it. (That said, I do add sugar to my tea on a regular basis, so maybe this one requires no sugar at all.)

This is one of the teas that tastes exactly how it smells: like maple candy. With that said, it’s an okay tea. I personally felt no need to add more sweetener in it, and this tea is not very overpowering. This is good with some milk in it, too! Seeing as I’m not a huge 100% maple fan, this is not a tea I’d go buy.

Myself being Canadian and loving all things maple, this is a huge favorite of mine! When most people think maple tea, they think of a hot drink that tastes exactly like maple syrup. Come on people, really? This has a light maple flavor, just sweet enough, its warm and rich (the only word I can think of to describe it) and definitely good enough to drink all day long. I let mine steep for 10 mins + since I like my tea strong, also because I forget about it as I bring my steeper mug to work and make it there! Anyways, awesome tea, very delicious, recommend to everyone :D

The aroma of this rooibos tea is glorious! It’s maple, caramel and so wonderful. The candy sprinkles don’t completely dissolve, they turn into colourful blobs (even after two infusions) making this a fun tea for kids. It’s not to sweet and is lovely without any added sugar.

On the second infusion, the maple flavour is much less noticeable but it’s still a nice-bodied rooibos tea.

OMGGG. What a smell.
It is exactly like hot pancakes with gallons of pure maple sirop.
When I bought it , I wanted to wait for the perfect time to taste it for the first time, to wait until I would really need that sweet treat !
Because of the smell, I really expected a strong taste of maple and caramel, maybe a little too sweet but in fact, this is the perfect right balance in my cup.
I added some milk into my second infusion, and it really brings out all the flavour.

Maybe I expected it to taste stronger, but it is still a excellent tea for a Saturday night treat :)

I tried Oh Canada on a whim, hoping that I’d have an addition to my dessert tea selection. Cute maple leaf shaped candies, caramel, toffee and maple syrup. All around sweetness in a cup. What could go wrong?

Unfortunately it did go wrong for me. I’m woefully unimpressed by this one, though it does deliver on its promise for maple flavour. I’m going to have to mix this with something else to make it tolerable, or pass it on to someone who can appreciate it for what it is.

Oh Canada… Oh, what a beautiful tea! The initial smell of this was maple, but not overly so. The taste is of pure maple syrup! The only thing I love nearly as much as pumpkin is maple and this didn’t taste fake. It’s not thick or overly sweet. This tea is a balanced dessert tea. I have a feeling I might run out of this one soon…

Yummy! A little too sweet for me to drink all the time, but it makes a nice treat.
I definitely taste the honeybush before the maple, but that’s fine.

Honeybush is good for menstrual regulation and headaches, and now I’ve finally found a honeybush tea that I like! :)

Not only does it taste delicious, but it smells amazing too. I tried to eat the maple leaves after I steeped the tea…not so much. However, if you eat them before you steep it, they’re just like candy :D

I adore this tea. As a huge maple fanatic, it was a given that I had to try it. Going in with very high expectations, as maple is a huge favourite of mine, I was pleasantly surprised! The maple flavour is lovely without being overwhelming, and there isn’t much of the rooibos woodiness.

This is a sweet treat anyone could enjoy. With a little bit of honey this is just a beautifully sweet and mouthwatering drink that will have you coming back for more.

Certainly one of my favourites. I don’t know how many times I have gone out with this in my travel mug and had compliments on how good it smells and it tastes just as good as that. I will drink this one at any time of the day. It has a sweet taste to it without needing to add sweetener of any kind.

This tea smells amazing, but the taste didn’t hold up for me. Not as mapely delicious as I had hoped.

My wife’s penchant for herbal experimentation keeps me in constant surprise with items such as this. “A truly authentic Canadian experience?” I beg to differ. I’ve been in Canada for 18 years and the only thing Canadian about this is the thought and effort. Oh, and the cute little maple leafs. Adoreable. I have an idea: instead of adding water to this herbal error, pour an ounce or two of milk into a small bowl and add some of this stuff, grab your spoon and take a big bite. I’m assuming that eating it would be better than drinking it. Great idea, poor execution.
