Secret Weapon

Mmmmmm... This afternoon, as most Sunday afternoons, we were on Bloor in our neighbourhood picking up some groceries for the week. Since this past August, the Sunday outing has more often than not included a tea from David's Tea. If you've never been and live in the GTA, check it out.

There are stainless steel tins behind the counter filled with different kinds of tea. You always get a sample of their tea of the day and you can smell as many different kinds of green, white, black, oolong, mate, herbal, or aruyvedic teas as you would like.

I used to always get some kind of tasty green or white tea but this winter I've been on a rooibus kick. Understandable as green is a pretty cooling tea while rooibus is more of a warming tea. Rooibus is actually caffeine-free but it has more antioxidants than green tea! I bought a couple of my favourites for the clinic - leafjumper (rooibus with caramel bits) and tiramisu (rooibus with yogurt and coffee bits).

Today however I sampled the Secret Weapon and decided to go with that. It is a white tea with almonds, licorice, and goji berries! Delicious. Enjoyed it while I cleaned the kitchen this afternoon!
