drank Ontario Icewine by Thé Kiosque
1759 tasting notes

Sipdown!!! finally. I’ve been after this one for ages. One of those that is contained in a small pouch yet no matter how many cups you have there always seems to be just a little more (which is terrible for a white tea, as all the flavouring here is gone. Well most of it)

Have you had other Kiosque teas? They are located pretty close to me and I went in once but the guy said he could only sell me 50 g tins. Meanwhile on their website, I can order samples and go pick them up. So because of that weirdness I have not tried their teas yet but they did smell quite nice.

I tried a bunch of them a few years ago, through two orders. The straight teas were amazing. The flavoured ones, much like any tea shop, were hit or miss for me.
Customer service was also great!

Also, I ordered mostly samples.

I found it so strange that they would not sell me sample sizes in store but if I were to order the samples online, I had the option to pick them up in the same store. Oh well, I guess I will just order online and go pick them up if I decide to try their teas.

Let me know what you end up doing, and how it goes!! It is strange that they don’t sell samples in store though. Curious.

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
