A trip to Teaopia

I first found out about Teaopia as I was wandering around the mall last night and stumbled upon it. Brightly colored and styled with eastern and oriental themes, I couldn’t resist entering.

It would be perfect for any student, as well as both the curious and the connoisseurs.

On the wall were large canisters, all containing exotic loose leaf teas, and in front of me, a display with smaller tins tiered up before me. The sign urged me to open them and take in the aromas.

Needless to say, it was a wonderful experience.

In the back was a tea bar, at which I could have ordered teas, iced teas, and tea lattes that they would have brewed for me, before my eyes, with their loose teas.

Although I didn’t indulge, knowing little myself about most of the teas featured, I think next moment I won’t be so shy.

When I left with my $4 air-tight reusable canister and 50g of loose leaf Jasmine Superior for a friend, I was informed that the shopping bag holding the tin and the receipt was in fact meant to be composted.

They sell

a variety of green, black, and white teas, as well as flavored black, white and green teas, herbal, oolong, and rooibos teas. Their fruit blends, containing real fruit and a pile of vitamin c, are recommended for introducing children to teas, and compose excellent hot or iced teas.

They plus have a selection of ‘wellness teas,’ blends of different ingredients to produce desired effects. Several would be perfect for college students, and would compose great care packages or back to school gifts.

• Sleep Well helps with nausea and headaches as well as helping with sleep.
• Fit Active contains a lot of vitamin C, and helps prevent colds. Elixir of Life is additionally preventative, and great for chest infections.
• Rise ‘n’ Shine provides stimulation without the side effects associated with coffee.
• Organic Camomile has anti-inflammatory properties, and helps with insomnia and anxiety.

Although all of the current store locations are in Ontario, Americans can still purchase their products online, which include not only teas, but all sorts of tools for brewing the perfect cup, and of course, gift cards.
