Those that follow our newsletter will have noticed that we've been running a Tasting Lab Survey the past couple of weeks to gather feedback on your favourite 2023 Tasting Lab releases so far. If not--the survey is still up, link in our newsletter! Many of you have reached out in various forms already, from emails, to DMs, and reviews.

From the beginning, I wanted the Tasting Lab to be a mixture of my own interesting finds and experiments, with collaboration from enthusiastic tea-drinkers. To have a platform to explore ideas that are too small for a full store release, and maybe find new teas for our core lineup! So your feedback is valuable, and I'd like to share some of the results so far, and give an idea what to expect in the Tasting Lab's future.

Inspiration for tea blends can come from weird places. If you've ever had the pleasure of visiting one of the Murchie's locations in person, you'll find a constant rotation of lattes with interesting names and intriguing flavour combinations. We've had more than one request to be able to bring these teas home. Each latte is made up of a unique blend of several of our teas, so it's a reasonable request.

Our Jane Austen Latte was introduced just a few years back, and is still easily one of our most popular--we receive periodic requests for the recipe from out-of-province Murchie's fans, and the latte itself makes seasonal returns. So it seemed like a fantastic candidate to taste-test as part of the Tasting Lab, and to add to our Big Black Blend Book.

Macerated Strawberries in Shaken Iced Tea

Macerated strawberries in their own syrup gives this patio sipper just the right amount of sweetness.
A box of Murchie’s tea has inspired us to make many meals, including this latest one, Ochazuke. It's a simple and cozy dish to eat with Dad on Father's Day!
