Finally got to try this new lofty place that opened in Parkdale located at Dufferin and Queen West. The menu is located on the wall and they offer a range of teas The owners were very friendly and introduced us to all the unique blend of tea lattes that they have. Being a fan of coconut milk flavour I decided to try the Thai Dragon while my friend decided to try the Black Velvet tea latte. Both are black tea lattes. To add some flavour I decided to try it with some almond milk as well. The owner grinds spices and herbs with a mortar and pestle and then brews the tea latte. The latte is then poured into the cup through the strainer.
The Thai Dragon tea latte was very rich, creamy, thick, unique, and flavourful. I was able to taste the hint of coconut, almond milk, and the spices that they added. The black velvet tea is more spicy but equally rich and creamy. For my initial sip it definitely left an interesting tingling cinnamonn-y flavour on my palette. The spice was definitely the more dominant flavour for the black velvet while the sweet creamy coconut almond flavour was more dominant for the Thai Dragon.
Upstairs there is a place with 2 large wooden tables and once small desk at the back. Probably has enough for 15 people. There is wifi as well. Nice place to come by to warm up on any cold day! They serve ice cold drinks as well so would be nice to come by and try them out during the summer
