Limited-Time

Tasting Lab

Tasting Lab is back with two limited releases!

The Tasting Lab is returning early for two limited-releases for 2026, this time available in-store and online. These two releases feature single-origin blends that reflect unique processing. One for spring, and one for fall.

Remember to check back on these dates; you’re in for a treat!

August Release

Cozy Shou

Warm and earthy puerh, woodsy, peaty, with a ginger finish. This compressed tea has been stored in China since 2020, mellowing the flavour. A 100g cake of shou puerh.

August Release

Sweet Shoumei

Honey-sweet white tea, notes of hay, dried fruit, and spice. Shoumei white tea uses larger, older leaves than White Peony. This tea has been further oxidized, and then compressed into 100g cakes in 2021.

May Release

Osmanthus Black

A full-leaf black tea grown in Guizhou, a province we haven't previously carried black teas from. Similar to Jasmine Extra Choice and Gardenia Green, this tea has been naturally scented by layering the dried tea with fresh  osmanthus flowers. The result is a delicate, enticing aroma and sweet taste, paired with smooth, flavourful Chinese black tea. The large leaves of this tea make it excellent for resteeping several times, and the peachy aroma of the osmanthus makes this blend particularly well suited for iced tea!
