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.
What’s in it

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

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