Lindsay drank Tree Frog - Spring Harvest 2020 by Westholme Tea Company

350 tasting notes

My first Canadian-grown tea! I bought a sample (10g for $35 y’all) mostly out of a desire to support the company, and also because I was really curious to know what it would taste like. Pretty great, as it turns out! Very fresh, crisp, vegetal flavours and aromas. Slight sweetness. Little to no astringency. Comparable to a nice long jing. I’m impressed.

Flavors: Green, Vegetal

Preparation

180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 0 sec 2 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

I’ve been to the tea farm and enjoy their teas. I haven’t yet tried their home grown teas because they sell out so fast. This one is going on my wish list for sure.

Bio

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
