About the Tea
A blend of seasonal quality tea was specially created for the
Fairmont Banff Springs taking into account it's unique and
invigorating mountain water. The Assam component (2nd flush June
Production) gives a thick malty and full bodied character; the Kenya
component (Kiambu region, January production) gives floral-like
flavor and a golden coppery infusion; the Ceyton (Dimbula region,
January production) gives floral-like flavor and a golden coppery
infusion; the Ceylon (Dimbula region, January production) gives an
airy almost piquant flavor that opens the blend; the China (Anhui
Province, April production) gives a burgundy depth with light oaky
notes; and the 'piece de resistance' are teas from the three
delightful little tea estates in South India (Nilgri Mountains,
January production) that give a superb fruity and sprightly flavor
with a lovely finish. Truly one of the world's great teas!
