There are few things as restorative as a cup of tea on a cold day, which is something the Trend Hunter team experienced first hand at a recent outing at Tealish Fine Teas in the Queen West neighborhood of Toronto. There, we were welcomed with a selection of three gourmet teas: the bright pink Toasty Almond herbal tea, Ginger Sparkle green tea and spicy chocolate chai black tea.
Tealish's Joanna taught us about the different fine teas they carry and how the process differs between each kind. In addition to engaging in conversation and sipping our favorites, Trend Hunter also had the opportunity to browse the variety of Tealish products, from colorful kettles to bagged teas like the Hangover Helper and Delicious Detox.
