Description

Maple Black Tea

Maple Black Tea is flavored with real maple syrup. It has a sweet tone with piquant caramel notes. A unique flavor that complements high grown tea very well.  It might be hard to imagine Maple Tea, but one taste and you’ll know why it has so many followers.

North America’s northeastern reaches were once completely covered by what is known in Canada as the Carolinian forest, and in the US the Eastern Deciduous forest. The native inhabitants who called this forest home learned to carve a living from its natural wonders. One of the most miraculous of these was the sap of the mighty sugar Maple tree that dominated the forest from one end to the other. Early natives noticed that each spring, small animals would chew on the branches of the tree. They discovered that the animals were attracted to the sweet sap and devised a way to tap the trees but cutting notches in the bark to allow it to run out freely. This they would collect in pails and boil down to a thick, sweet syrup. Maple syrup! When the first European settlers began arriving in 17th century, the natives showed them how to make the syrup. The sweet delicious flavor meant it very quickly became a staple of their diet. To this day, Canada and New England are world renowned for their maple syrup. We’ve captured this incredible favor and added it to a luxury, high grown Ceylon tea for a sweet cuppa that’s second to none. Cheers!

If you love the flavor of maple as many of us do, then you must try our Maple Blueberry Black Tea, but only if you also love Blueberries as well.  Then again, you might just want to live on the edge and try it anyways.
