This tea is amazing! Especially if a plain sencha is a bit too strong for you. The popped rice makes the flavour very smooth.

drank Earl Grey Rooibos by Teaopia

This tea is very different. Doesn’t taste much like a “regular” Earl Grey, but it’s really nice. It has a very deep Rooibos flavour.

drank Creamy Nut Oolong by Teaopia

This WAS my favourite tea in the store, until I discovered Apple Pie Oolong. ;) The flavours are VERY similar, but Apple Pie is slightly more creamy which is why it wins for me.

In any case, this tea is smooth and delicious. It’s not gonna taste as flavoured as it smells, which is fine because oolong doesn’t need a strong over-powering flavour. Perfect on it’s own, don’t add anything to this.

drank Creamed Earl Grey by Teaopia

Pretty much one of the best black teas in the store, second only to Irish Breakfast. I can’t drink normal Earl Grey now that I’ve been spoiled with this tea. Creamy, rich, bold and beautiful. Highly recommended.

drank Coconut Cream by Teaopia

Unfortunately pretty bland on its own. The flavour doesn’t really come through. However, if you want a plain green tea with a SLIGHT creaminess, then this tea will do the trick.

Here’s the shocker, though.
Get this as a latte with half-chocolate syrup. (Half the pumps than a normal latte). I swear…. wtf. As weird as it sounds, it’s heaven in a cup.

I usually only like plain green teas, but this one surprised me. A very interesting, unique and fresh flavor. I recommend a squirt of agave. Not something I’d have all the time, but it’s nice for a change.

drank BUTTERFLY by Teaopia

This tea is definitely more about looks and the gimmick. Flavor isn’t great. It’s too weak when you just make it, and waaaaay too bitter after it’s been left for a bit.
It makes a quirky gift, but I’d say stick to loose jasmine and green teas.

I love flowing teas. Try short steeps around 45 sec at 170 degees. At 3rd steep, gradually increase steep time and temp. I usually get 5 quality steeps.

drank Black Pu Erh by Teaopia

Teaopia does indeed still sell Pu Erh cakes, however it is called “Tuo Cha Pu’Erh” and it is kept in a glass jar on the counter rather than being in a tin on the wall.

Unfortunately, it tastes like fish food.

drank Baked Apple Pie by Teaopia

I avoided this tea like the black plague for the longest time because:
A) I hate apple pie.
B) I hate fruit in my tea.
C) I dislike the smell of it.
But it was on sample one day and I was surprised at how DELICIOUS it is! It tastes like a strong oolong with a hint of nuts and vanilla. So if you’re hoping for an apple pie flavour you will be disappointed, but go into it with an open mind and you’ll enjoy it!
This tea is perfect plain, don’t add anything to it.
Baked Apple Pie Oolong has become an addiction for me. I need at least one cup of it a day. It’s completely replaced Creamy Nut Oolong as my favourite tea ever.
