Tea of the People introduces barrel-aged teas
Tea of the People, a Toronto-based start-up, presented its inaugural range of teas that includes barrel-aged blends. The company aims to combine antioxidant-rich teas with pieces of super fruits to improve the nutritional value of tea leaves instead of just flavoring them. Some blends are also aged in charred white oak barrels for five months. According to the company, the oak keeps the ingredients tightly stored, allowing for the ingredients' flavors to fuse harmoniously with the tea. The current range is comprised of 8 blends, priced between $9 and $12 for 50 grams.
