What is icewine tea, eh? :)
 
Did a search on Fodor’s, no posts about it. I was reading about shopping in NOTL.

Is it herbal tea made of dried previously frozen grapes? Or the same grapes added to regular tea as flavor? Does this tea taste like sugar was added? Any hint of sweetness at all?

YOu got me there, Dayenu. I've never heard of it.
I'm guessing they add ice wine to the tea, but I don't know.
Ice wine is a very sweet wine made with frozen grapes. ..as far as I know. I don't drink, so. I've never had it.

See what else you can dig up that we don't know about!!

I just thought this small souvenir would be great for co-workers

and now that I look at it, I see "Ceylon Tea" - the best black tea in the world! It means added as flavor, one question answered.

Now, hopefully somebody knows if it has sweet taste.

And now I know it is a sweet tea!

This has become our summer favorite as iced tea. Its natural sweetness allow it to be enjoyed without added sugar.

And one last thing. Kodi, I thought you live in the area that produces and sells icewine tea. If that so, you should be ashamed and extradited out of the country :-p

(we should go to NOTL to visit that store!!)

I know ! Aren't I bad? It's because I don't drink the stuff.. but I really should know more about it.
I do think ice wine is very very sweet, so it would make the tea very sweet, I would think.

Greaves jams are also popular and they sell tiny jars. They'd make a good little gift too.
