Tea Bombs Will be The New Hot Chocolate Bombs for 2021 in Toronto
Tea is the most popular beverage in the world after water. But tea industry was always behind her biggest rivalry, Coffee when it comes to innovations. During 5000 years of long history, tea industry had only very few product or technical innovations. Continuous innovation is vital for the betterment of any industry. As blogTO had reported, Hot chocolate bombs increased to popularity in Toronto, Canada during holidays, but there is a new hot drink trend: tea bombs.
Maison de Dessert is one of the first places to sell tea bombs in the city. Like hot chocolate bombs, chocolate shells that “explode” when hot liquid is poured on them releasing cocoa mix and marshmallows, tea bombs are clear shells that release tea and eye-popping edible glitter. The shell is coloured with food graded colourings. The inside contains a tea bag or loose leaf tea.
The tea bombs come in English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, peppermint, green, Irish Breakfast, chamomile, lemon and ginger, Goodnight Blend, and honeybush, mandarin and orange varieties. They’re $5 each, and Canadians can simply DM to order.
Selena Flores, Owner of Maison de Dessert mentioned that for her tea bombs, the “shell is made from a low calorie sweetener derived from beet sugar and has little to no effect on blood sugar levels. That means they’re weight loss and diabetic friendly.“
Flores added further “We use edible glitter that has no taste or texture to make that tea sparkle. You can add sugar, cream or anything you normally would to your tea.”
Candy Couture & Co. has also introduced tea bombs in to their menu, at $6 apiece with an upcharge for edible glitter and edible roses.
While appreciating innovations like these, I must tell my dear tea lovers that there is nothing better than a freshly brewed tea pot with loose leaf tea. No matter whether it’s Black, Oolong, Green or White. Just enjoy your cuppa with a great deal of joy. Cheers!
