Montrealers love their cafés and their coffee & tea. It gets most of us through our daily grind, cure’s our hangovers from the wonderful night before and gives us a warm cup to hold while we procrastinate, something Montrealers excel at.

I’ve recently discovered 4 O’clock tea, a ‘gourmet’ line of teas blended locally in Quebec with some more modern flavors, twelve to be exact. Being both organic and fair trade, 4 O’clock covers all their bases for appealing to the hippy inside us. The brand produces interesting blends like Chocolate Earl Grey Berry blend, Lychee Ginger White Tea, Apricot Passion Fruit Rooibos, all surprisingly tasty afternoon selections. My morning recommendation is the more traditional, green tea, the smell is hypnotizing. Get more info about where you can pick up a box here: www.transherb.com
