I tested out my theory that this needed more maple to balance out the overwhelming coconut flavour, so I mixed some David’s Tea maple matcha into this, and I think it helped balance out the heavy coconut taste. I think I should have steeped this for a shorter amount of time or at a lower temperature because it also tasted kind of bitter. I think I need to keep experimenting with this tea to get it right.

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.
