I don’t think this tastes as good on its own. I tried to make it with just hot water, but it tasted too sweet, like it needed something extra to balance out the sweetness. However, with milk, this tastes wonderful. It feels very decedent and rich, almost like a milkshake. So, this is not a tea I see myself reaching for every day.

Hello everyone!
So, how did I get into tea? I think I have always had a fascination with tea. But I really got obsessed with it after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved how Uncle Iroh used tea as a way to both practice self-care and connect with others.
I aspire to do the same through my tea endeavours.
My Favourite Canadian Small Tea Businesses: (Thus far! As I explore new tea brands, I am sure this list will grow)

My Preferred Preparation:
For black teas, I prefer the stove-top method with milk and sugar. For all other teas and herbal infusions, I usually prefer having them hot without any add-ins. However, I do like an occasional iced tea! Especially for some fruity or floral blends.
My Tea Preferences:
I enjoy flavoured teas more than straight teas; however, I do have a soft spot for traditional green or oolong teas.
