Freshly baked apple pie with toasted manoomin and warm notes of cinnamon & nutmeg.
taste the harvest
DAVIDsTEA x Tea Horse come together again to create Manoomin Apple Pie Tea! This of-the-earth inspired blend is made with toasted manoomin (meaning wild rice in Ojibwe) that’s harvested in the lakes of Northern Canada. And to give it that home-baked apple pie taste, we added sweet apple pieces, cozy cinnamon and warming nutmeg—so scrumptious! Packed in a limited-edition tin by Anishinaabe artist Emily Kewageshig, this tea gives back 10% of proceeds to the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
What makes it great:
Developed in partnership with Indigenous woman-owned company Tea Horse—a second-time tea collaboration!
10% of proceeds will go the Native Women’s Association of Canada to support their mission of advocating for women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ people and the families of many Indigenous nations.
Packed in a limited-edition tin, with exclusive artwork by Emily Kewageshig, an Anishinaabe woodland artist and visual storyteller from Saugeen First Nation No. 29.
Roasted wild rice (manoomin in Ojibwe), Cinnamon, Apple, Date powder, Clove, Natural Fuji apple flavouring, Nutmeg.
Company description not available.
This is a new one for me and considering how much I love Manoomin Maple, this one did not disappoint. While I definitely will always love Manoomin Maple more, this one was the soo warm and cozy while we’re watching TV.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Spices
After I’d done my shopping, I spent the entire rest of Sunday at the festival working the DT booth. I was really there to be our on site tea expert and answer any questions the attendees has not just about what we were sampling but any of our teas in general. Though, I spent most of the day doing live cuppings of different teas and talking about them with anyone who wanted to try them. We switched it up at different points of the day, but the teas I was primarily sampling were our Jade Tieguanyin, Simply Maple Breakfast (the SimplyNailogical collab tea) and… this one!
It’s fair to say that the cat’s out of the bag now, and that sometime this March we’ll be formally releasing our second manoomin based tea with the lovely folks at Tea Horse! We debuted it at the festival as a sneak peak, though! I also drank quuuuiiittte a lot of it myself over the coarse of the afternoon. Have to stay hydrated, after all! I want to do my proper write up with the full story of how we came up with this flavour profile, what it tastes like, the giveback partner for sales of the tea (because it’s different from last year’s partner for Manoomin Maple), and just all the lovely details I normally share – but I’m going to wait until the tea formally launches online/in stores first.
For now, suffice to say that I think people were really receptive to this blend and that a lot of people who were familiar with Manoomin Maple from previous years we’ve highlighted it at the festival also seemed to really, really enjoy the flavour of this one and find that commonality with the roasted wild rice.
Also, this is my last tasting note from at the festival or really from the weekend in Toronto in general! As things wrapped up, we did our tear down and then rushed to the airport just in time to have a shitty airport meal of cheese and chips before flying home. I think I literally went all of Sunday only eating a donut, a mochi ball, three cheese strings, and half a bag of sour cream & onion chips – so truly I have to credit caffeine and adrenaline for getting me through it all.
I slept so soundly when I got back to my apartment.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
