Our Smoked Maple Oolong is a bold and smooth blend of dark oolong and maple. While the oolong is full-bodied and lightly smoked, the maple is light, aromatic and sweet.

Beyond the cup

The most Canadian tea in the shop. Steep strong and reduce with maple syrup for a glaze that transforms pork chops, salmon, and roasted root vegetables. Infuse into brown butter for cookies and shortbread that smell like autumn. Makes a rich latte – steep in steamed milk with a drizzle of maple syrup. Use as a smoking tea for duck or chicken alongside brown sugar and rice.

    Oolong Tea

    Camellia sinensis

    Partly oxidised — anywhere between a green tea and a black one, which is why no two oolongs taste alike. A green Anxi oolong is floral and creamy; a roasted Wuyi one is dark, mineral and almost woody. It is the most rewarding tea to...

    Orchid, honey, stone fruit and toasted grain, with a mineral finish; creamy in the Taiwanese cultivars

  • Flower · Caffeine-free

    Safflower

    Carthamus tinctorius

    Orange-red petals that turn water golden — one of the world's oldest crops, and in a tea blend it is there for colour more than for taste. It looks enough like saffron that English called it bastard saffron and false saffron, and it has been...

    Light, slightly bitter and hay-like, faintly floral; colour first and flavour a distant second

    Maple

    Acer saccharum

    Caramel, woodsmoke and toffee — and for a Canadian shop, the most home flavour there is. It is in one blend here. Worth knowing before you go looking for it: two of the shop's maple-named teas list no maple in their ingredients at all, so...

    Caramel, woodsmoke and toffee — sweeter and rounder than sugar, with a faintly mineral edge

What it goes with

Smoky, maple, and bold. Sip alongside bacon and eggs, BBQ ribs, or pecan pie. Pair Cinnamon for maple-cinnamon baking, Smoked Paprika for the ultimate dry rub base, or Nutmeg for a smoked maple eggnog that’ll end Christmas arguments.

The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.

It worked beautifully; perhaps if I add a little more honey, it would make it better… It is a wellness tea, after all!
