I stayed at the Fairmont Banff Springs a while ago when my brother was working there, and I quite liked this tea, which was among the teas provided in the rooms. He surprised me with a couple boxes of it that he, um, “acquired.” I didn’t ask; he didn’t tell. :P
This is one of the few fruity teas I actually like. Tastes best with some honey.
I’ve been in love with tea since I discovered the awesomeness of loose-leaf tea about four years ago.
In general, I prefer black, green, oolong, and matcha teas. I’m not a big fan of flavoured teas, but every so often I come across one I like. I also like peppermint, but that’s about it for tisanes.
I recently tried matcha for the first time, and it’s seriously growing on me.
My favourite tea accessory is my chasen holder, hence my profile pic, and my favourite teaware is the shudei kyusu I got from Den’s Tea for 99 cents. I use it both for cooling water and steeping tea. Probably the best 99 cents I’ve spent. :)

Metro tea makes all the teas for Fairmont FYI.
