Delicious straight black tea. The one I drink in the morning when I just want a cup to pick me up without really paying attention to it. I prefer maltier teas like Yorkshire tea, but this one is fair trade and it’s very decent for bagged tea.

I don’t know what happened but I really can’t stand this tea anymore. It tastes so artificial… Blah! Maybe I need to give it a break and try it again later. Otherwise I’ll have to find a new owner for my 100g tin…

drank Paris by Harney & Sons

This is my first Harney & sons tea!! Exciting! I saw they were selling it at my local bookstore and since the ratings were so good and they were almost out of stock I could not resist getting a tin of this yesterday… I’ve been meaning to order from their site for quite a while but shipping to Canada is too expensive :(

So this was great as my NYE tea while I was waiting for midnight. I’m not a fan of berry teas usually but this one is not too artificial and may very well change my mind. It reminds me of St Petersburg by Kusmi teas which reminds me that I should add some Kusmi to my cupboard… They are perfect for winter, maybe some Prince Vladimir or that new Tsarevna one which has such a beautiful tin… Anyway, happy new year fellow steepsterites!! :D

That’s the tea I got for my cousin for Christmas along with a colour changing mug and chocolate honey sticks! And of course I could not resist getting a small pouch for myself… I’ve just remembered the sales guy told me this is best as a latte. But for now I’m drinking it straight with a small spoonful of sugar. Next time I won’t add sugar because it’s already sweetened with the rock sugar pieces. I like it but I’m not sure if I’ll buy some more. It’s almost too syrupy and kind of remind me of a cough sirup I used to take when I was a kid. I definitely need to try it as a latte though…

Edit: made this today as a latte to drink with my homemade chewy coconut cookies! :P And it’s definitely a lot better with milk. In fact I think this is going to be one of my 3 free 50g bags of tea… Did I really spend 300$ for tea? (ouch)…

Flavors: Butter, Coconut

drank Movie Night by DAVIDsTEA

Mmmm.. my god, this tea is delicious! I tried this first during a movie night with my boyfriend. The movie was good so I was not really paying attention, and now trying this again with some eggnog and wow! I never thought I would say this of a green tea but this is delicious! Not the slightest fishy/spinachy green tea taste! Just caramel, maple, and popcorn!!

Flavors: Caramel, Maple, Popcorn

drank Cocomint Cream by DAVIDsTEA

I’m usually not a big fan of mint teas, but I smelled this one in the store and I found it interesting. The taste is interesting too, it makes me think of a hot mojito, quite refreshing when I want to end my meal on a sweet note but I’m too stuffed for something more decadent. Don’t need to add anything to it because it’s already sweetened.

This tea is so creamy I don’t even need to add anything to it. It’s an earl grey tea with a touch of vanilla yogurt.. delicious!

drank Coffee Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA
41 tasting notes

Ha! That’s it! I always tend to oversteep my teas. This time I’ve tried this again for no more than 4 minutes and that’s the key! The pu’erh earthy taste is very subtle now, I mostly get coffee and a hint of vanilla, much much better!

Flavors: Coffee, Vanilla

Hahaha, I used to do that too, and once I realized it, there was such an incredible difference.

Yes, I thought black teas were quite forgiving with steeping times but not this one apparently… Now it tastes a lot more like a coffee crisp :)

drank Coffee Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA

Not bad, but I was hoping it would taste like a coffee crisp, more coffee and less pu’erh… I only got a 50g pouch so I should be able to finish it but I probably won’t restock. I’ll try the chocolate orange pu’erh instead.

I love tea!! Especially strong British style black teas and I’m starting to get into oolongs and rooibos :) And when a good cup is paired with a good book, life is good!
