The Canmore Tea Company: Benefits, Suggestions, & Decaf! 

Looking for your favourite tea but in a decaf format?

Discover a great selection of decaffeinated loose-leaf teas at the Canmore Tea Company.

While decaf tea is the best option for those who are hypersensitive to caffeine, you can control the amount of caffeine in your tea simply by adjusting your brewing technique. In many cases, using a higher water temperature, longer brewing time, or a higher ratio of tea leaves to water will increase the caffeine level of your brew.

Decaf is a perfect choice for anyone looking to reduce the caffeine from their diet or who would like to enjoy tea later in the day.

At the Canmore Tea Company we are swapping sugar for lemon and here’s why…

Besides the obvious health benefits (lemon aids in digestion, improves your body’s intake of antioxidants, and packs a powerful punch of Vitamin C), lemon is a complimentary flavour that makes for a perfect - and sometimes surprising pairing, such as Earl Grey, mint teas and, of course, fresh lemon juice or zest also goes beautifully with chamomile tea, enhancing the floral flavours.

There’s nothing quite like the smell of an alpine morning.

One of our newest, most exciting in-store offerings is Pine Tea by Wild Canadian Tea.
Hand-picked and ethically sourced in the Canadian wilderness, this artisan tea is a fresh take on a traditional tea that has been enjoyed for millennia.

Bursting with Vitamin C and Vitamin A, this tea is literally made from pine needles that evoke memories of the backcountry. All you need to do is break up the needles and steep them in boiled water for 5-10 minutes.

Add a little maple syrup and you’ve got yourself a mountain morning in a cup.

Trying to relief stomach pain after an indulgent summer BBQ?

We’ve all been there… sinking uncomfortably into our chairs after scarfing down a big meal, blinded by hunger from a long day on the trails.
