If you're interested in less robust flavors like green teas and oolongs, I recommend Camellia Sinensis, in Montreal and Quebec City (though the cafe part of the Montreal shop didn't survive the pandemic). Early in the pandemic, a friend of mine organized a virtual/distributed tea tasting, in which everyone mail-ordered one tea the same, and each of us also picked (at least) two others.
We each made and drank the shared tea, and discussed our opinions of that tea, and about the other teas we'd ordered at the same time.
I wound up ordering six kinds of tea, because they also had a minimum for free shipping. Conclusion: I like tea, I like maple syrup, the maple tea blend did not work. I might have remembered sooner that I sweeten my tea with sugar (white, Demerara, or vanilla) or sometimes honey, not maple syrup.
