Rene's Bistro Tea Menu Spring 2009

White Pear Origin: Fugian Provence, China

This is an exotic blend of Mutan white tea and pear pieces.  This white tea has an abundance of silvery white buds and green leaves. The fragrant, golden brew inspires calmness and clarity. Infuse leaves twice.

Very low in caffeine

Citron Green Origin: Japan

This is a delicate tea based on a Japanese bancha green tea. It has a bright clear green cup that has a fragrance of lemon, taste of lemongrass and is full of antioxidants. Infuse twice.
Low in caffeine

Genmaicha Matcha Origin: Shizuoka and Nishio, Japan

Genmaicha Matcha is a slightly sweet and highly aromatic tea. The three blended components are:

Genmai - well-roasted brown rice which adds a slightly nutty taste and roasted aroma.

Bancha - Japanese green tea

Matcha - Japanese green tea powder that contributes its natural sweetness to the full body flavour

It is a tea that gives you clarity and energy. Multiple infusions.
Medium Caffeine

Earl Grey Supreme Origin: China, Sri Lanka Earl Grey Supreme is for the connoisseur of Earl Grey tea. This tea is based on a grand Keemun China black, Ceylon Vintage Silver Tips and the highest grade of oil of bergamot. The leaf is very fragrant and the cup gives you a crisp brisk lively brew that is so smooth and refreshing.
Medium Caffeine

Bistro Blend Origin:  China, Sri Lanka, India and Kenya This black tea is blended by Canada's Tea Sommelier exclusively for us using premium tea gardens from China, Sri Lanka, India and Kenya.  Try it without milk and sugar to unravel the complexities of the blend.
Medium Caffeine

Mango Indica Origin: Sri Lanka, China A mysteriously exotic and magnificently fruity blend of Ceylon and China black tea, pieces of mango and calendula petals. The cup is copper coloured with a light flavour of Mango which is also evident in the nose.
Medium Caffeine

Vanilla Bean Tisane Origin: South Africa This is a  smooth herbal beverage that is high in antioxidants. This luxurious blend has a base of rooibos and is enhanced with vanilla bean, almond pieces and cornflower petals.  The cup is full bodied like a black tea but has no caffeine.
Caffeine free

Organic Spearmint Origin: Canada This caffeine-free tisane has a hearty fragrance and an incredibly robust spearmint flavour. The cup is clear yellow/green and is very refreshing. Spearmint is less cooling than peppermint. It supports good digestion and is a good way to end a meal or just to sip leisurely.
Caffeine free
