April Tea of the Month :: BLOSSOM

Ahh ... April Fools Day, with its unpredictability and humour, much like this Spring weather we're experiencing here on the west coast of BC. 

There doesn't feel like a more suited tea than our handcrafted, small batch Westholme blend, Blossom, to bring some warmth and love to the entire month of April. A gentle cup you can consistently count on.

Two beautiful Chinese teas come together in this floral blend: White Peony (Bai Mu Dan), a white tea named for its floral notes, and Jasmine tea, a well-known green tea that has been oxidized between layers of fresh jasmine blossoms. The steep has a lovely natural sweetness and gentle astringency, rounded by the delicate aroma of rose petals. The result is an elegant tea with a bouquet of floral notes, and a gentle cup with a pleasant, almost imperceptible astringency. Perfect hot or iced!

To brew a delicious cup of Blossom, we recommend using 2 grams of tea per cup. Bring water to 90-95ºC and steep for 3-5 minutes. For the cold steep method, double the quantity of tea and use cold, filtered water to steep for 6-8 hours in the fridge. 

Enjoy 10% savings on Blossom all April long!
