Snow Maple
Maple sits lightly on soft, faintly honeyed white tea. The white tea without the tannin, that makes most flavoured black teas need milk, so the maple tastes as clean sweetness rather than syrup. Safflower and cornflower petals carry a delicate floral note through the finish. The tea brews to pale amber in the cup, tastes sweet without sugar and is light enough in caffeine for an afternoon or an evening.
The name comes from sugar bush season — the late-winter maple run, when Ottawa families pour hot syrup over fresh snow and lift it off the stick as taffy. Snow Maple is the quieter version of that same familiar sweetness.
This tea is delicious hot, beautiful cold-brewed overnight and it takes a splash of milk without collapsing.
