Canada's first tea farm delivers on taste
This is an official PSA to all tea lovers in Canada. Get yourself to Westholme Tea Farm: Canada's first and only tea farm. They've been nurturing their tea plants for years and finally, they released the very first Canadian-grown tea harvest. They're now serving two beautiful teas: swallow tale oolong, and island green. I had a chance to visit the farm this month while I was on Vancouver Island.

Afternoon tea at the Royal York, Library Bar
This is something I’ve wanted to do for some time: afternoon tea at the Library Bar. I’ve been for drinks, but never for tea. The Library Bar offered a good selection of tea. Perhaps a dozen or so on the menu (maybe more) representing a wide variety: from simple greens and whites, to spicy chai and creamy earl greys.
