Black Cardamom

$9.00

Style: Black

Origin: Blended at Westholme

Ingredients: Assam, Cardamom, Vanilla Bean

Description: Throughout Western and Central Asia, cardamom is used to add a perfumed complexity and sweetness in standard black teas. We chose a bold and malty Assam black tea, combining it with green cardamom pods, lightly cracked to release their astonishing flavour. As a luxurious addition, we also added pure vanilla beans for a subtle natural sweetness. Vanilla and cardamom come together to add just enough creamy taste to the classic malt of the Assam tea. A perfect morning cup, enjoyed on its own or with milk and honey.

Tasting Notes: Naturally sweet and complex on the nose, the pure vanilla bean in this blend adds a lovely, subtle cream to the texture of this tea's aroma and palate. The unique perfume of the cardamom, reminiscent of deep citrus, enhances the strong steep and malt of the Assam tea with freshness on the palate. The linger is luxurious and sweet.

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes.

*This is the same tea blend as our Dog - Chinese Zodiac Tea*

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.

Heron's Wake - 2021 SPRING/SUMMER PRE-SALE

Heron's Wake - 2021 SPRING/SUMMER PRE-SALE

$35.00

Style: Black

Origin: Westholme BC, Canada

Description: The Heron stands, stoic and silent, in the marshy fields below our tea garden. The elegant majesty of its presence commands the attention of those watching as it takes flight - we hold our breath as it ascends. It leaves behind a gentle wake that ripples through the marshes.

This Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe has been nine years in the making. As the tea garden matures and deepens its roots, the full flavour of our terroir emerges in the steep. Like the heron, this tea stands on its own - and we are so pleased to share the experience.

From year to year, teas may exhibit slightly different taste profiles - as a true expression of terroir, growing conditions that vary from year to year will pull different characteristics out of the tea.

Here are the tasting notes from last years harvest.

2020 Tasting Notes: Rich notes of toasted hazelnut and hints of ground cacao combine to form a satisfying full mouth finish. A woody, almost spiced aroma mingles with the deep smell of earthy leaves. Steeps to a beautiful red-gold.

Brewing Instructions: 2.5 g per cup. Use 100°C water (full boil). Pour gently over the loose leaves. Steep for 3 minutes, or depending on your taste. The low astringency of this tea will allow you to steep longer if you wish, and we encourage re-steeping 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.

Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.

The tradition of tea is closely tied to place – the region, the mountain, the slope. In 2010 we began planting our own tea to take advantage of the unique terroir of our home. This is the very first Canadian estate-grown tea in the world – an authentic expression of the land, soil, and climate of our farm.

Cowichan Caravan

$6.00

Style: Black

Origin: Blended at Westholme

Ingredients: Assam, Ceylon, Keemun, Hojicha, Lapsang Souchong, Lavender

Description: This black and green tea blend was inspired by age-old tales of traveling tea merchants. Navigating their horse-drawn caravans from China through the cold climate of Russia, and finally into Europe, we created our own version of the famous Russian Caravan tea - the smell of the pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong in this blend reminiscent of cold nights camping on the road. The teas in this blend come from China, Japan, India and Sri Lanka - taste experiences and traditions from four of the biggest tea producers in the world. The result is a complex and aromatic cup, with a subtle lavender perfume woven through the pine steam of a fresh-poured cup.

Tasting Notes: The fine balance of tea from many regions and many traditional processes are woven together for this blend. The cup is at once robust in its savoury pine strength, while also gently sweet and understated. Complex crispness and notes of citrus linger on the palate after a pine-smoked welcome. A gentle lavender linger and slight malt finishes the smooth cup.

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes.

Tea cultivation and processing originated in China about 5,000 years ago, and while they carry on a rich and ancient tradition of producing high-quality teas of all styles, their green varieties are truly beyond comparison. The flavour profiles, aromas, and processing techniques from each tea-growing region vary tremendously. Some become silky and smooth, while some become powerful and astringent. Whether for casual daily drinking, or for special moments of ceremony and contemplation, Chinese green teas truly nurture the soul.

Calm Lav

$6.00

Style: Herbal

Origin: Blended at Westholme

Ingredients: Chamomile, Lavender

Description: When we first moved to our property in the Cowichan Valley, our dream was to grow lavender. Inspired by rolling hills of purple shrubs, we started populating the south facing slope of our garden with lavender plants. A few years later, however, we switched our focus to the Camellia sinensis plant, and our flowers were replaced with bushes of tea. Many of our original tea blends contain lavender – an ode to our history on the farm. They have become much loved and remain on our shelves.Chamomile and lavender produce a gentle floral blend that smells as wonderful as it tastes. Both plants are known for their soothing properties, which help calm the nervous system and ease digestion.

Cream of Earl

$9.00

Style: Black

Origin: Blended at Westholme

Ingredients: Assam, Oil of Bergamot (certified organic, cold pressed, 100% oil of bergamot from Calabria, Italy), Pure Madagascar Vanilla Bean

Description: After years of many requests for this tea, 2021 is the year we deliver. It is rare to find a Cream of Earl Grey which does not contain anything but true ingredients of nature. The ‘cream’ comes solely from pure vanilla bean grown in Madagascar. A blend of Assamese teas alongside a truly Italian organic oil of Bergamot from Calabria provides the classic Earl Grey base tea. The oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the bergamot orange, or Citrus bergamia. This blends with rich and aromatic vanilla to provide a tea that is both comforting and refreshing.

Tasting Notes: This tea offers a lovely depth of flavour and alluring aroma. Warmed brown-sugar notes add to the crispness of the bergamot, translating into delightful tones reminiscent of grapefruit. Sip upon sip, a softness fills the mouth that is matched with a touch of astringent citrus linger. The vanilla strengthens as it sits in the cup. This Cream of Earl is a lovely treat. Just as the name implies, this tea invokes a sense of cream in the cup and would make a perfect tea on its own! If desired, it would stand up well to the addition of milk and honey.

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes.
