Origin: Westholme BC, Canada
Description: The Westholme Tea Maker's Reserve #10 Limited Edition Black tea grown, hand-plucked and hand-processed from the slopes of the tea garden in August 2026. A truly unique tea terroir experience. Available in very limited quantities.
A Note From the Tea Maker: "I am celebrating 10 years of tea making with you by creating this fine hand made tippy black tea. Harvested from only the oldest bushes planted in 2010 offering true Canadian terroir." - Victor V. Founder + Tea Maker
Tasting Notes: This fine hand plucked tippy tea offers warm depth and subtle complexities as you begin to sip. The nose is reminiscent of moist baked bread and the creamy texture of butterscotch notes covers the palate. The smoothness of this tea continues into its next steeping and the taste adventure that awaits.
Brewing Instructions: 2.5 g per cup. Use 100°C water (full boil). Pour gently over the loose leaves. Steep for 5 minutes, or depending on your taste. We encourage multiple re-steepings to experience different aspects of the flavour profile.
China has a rich and ancient tradition of producing high quality teas of all varieties, and black tea is no exception. This is where tea culture and industry, as we know it, began nearly 2,000 years ago.
Known as ‘Red Tea’ in China, the tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis sinensis plant are smaller and finer than their Indian counterparts, the Camellia sinensis assamica, and prefer cooler mountainous regions. Usually plucked by hand and gently processed, the end result are exquisitely fragrant teas with lesser levels of astringency and a soft body.
Several Chinese provinces are famous for their regional tea selections: Fujian Province is home to the well-known, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong, while Keemun tea, the official choice of the British Queen, is produced in Anhui Province. Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.
