This limited-time tea is the latest entry in Murchie's Tasting Lab Online Exclusive, available exclusively for July and August.
There are always innovative and fun latte ideas coming out of our Vancouver and Victoria stores; it seems fitting to commemorate them by turning some of our favourites into custom blends!
This is a strongly green-leaning green-black tea, similar to Symphony Blend, and would do best with slightly cooler water (180°F - 200°F).
Tasting Notes: Opening with the sweetness and cream of vanilla, followed by fresh floral jasmine and spring green top notes against a background of subtler black teas.
Ingredients: Black tea (Keemun, Ceylon), green tea (Jasmine, Gunpowder), white cornflowers, natural and artificial flavouring

I like this one quite a lot! Adding jasmine and vanilla to the classic Library Blend tea is a simple combination, but if you enjoy those flavours, it's really delicious. I'm enjoying it clear, but I can see why this would be a popular treat as a latte.
Posted on 2024-08-16Not unlike eating a bouquet of flowers. There is so much 'foreign' matter included with the tea that the taste and aroma there-of is overwhelmed. Way too much vanilla and jasmine to really appreciate the tea.

Tea and coffee tasting is a very individual, multi-dimensional experience: one person’s perfect cup can be too strong or weak, too brisk or watery for the next person. At Murchie’s, we believe that the best tea or coffee is the one that YOU like the best! We use the following flavour profile guides to help compare our teas and coffees within a relative scale.
This rating method indicates the strength of flavour each tea has when brewed according to our brewing guide.

We rate the flavour properties of our coffees along two dimensions: roast and body.
Roast is simply a result of how long and how hot the beans have been roasted, which can be seen in the colour of the finished bean, and typically results in general flavour traits:
Light Roast | More acidity, brightness and a slight pucker | |
Medium Roast | Slightly richer flavours, some acidity, enhanced creaminess | |
Dark Roast | Distinctive roasted flavour, sometimes notes of toasted sugar or charcoal |
Body is the term used to describe how the brewed coffee feels in your mouth:
Light Body | Easy to drink with little lingering flavour, ‘thin’ or ‘clean’ feeling on the palate | |
Medium Body | Heavier, creamier mouth-feel with more lingering flavour | |
Full Body | Rich, full-mouth feeling: hits all of the palate and lingers |
Different types of teas should be brewed according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240ml) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Brew times shown in minutes.
The simplest methods for brewing coffee are drip coffee, pour over and French press. These guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste. If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer – or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.
Drip coffee or pour over method: hot water is gradually poured over coffee grounds and slowly drips through
