I read so many negative things about Teavana, but their website is so pretty and all the teas are nicely presented and seem delicious… I had to try some of them out. When they had their “Heavenly sale – 50% off” for Boxing Day, I went a bit crazy. It was so cheap and I needed to buy for at least 50$ to get free shipping, so… Yeah, I bought a LOT of tea.

Anyway ! :)

I haven’t tried them all yet, but from what I’ve tasted so far I don’t think I’ll ever be a fan of the company. As for this tea… I’m not quite sure. I’m a huge fan of chocolate and orange together and I had already tasted and loved Chocolate Orange from David’s Tea so I had high hopes…

For one thing, I like the fact that it’s herbal. I’m working late tonight and I felt like something sweet and chocolaty, so it’s a good thing it’s caffeine free. The smell of the dry leaf is quite artificial, but still made me want to try… I’m not sure about the taste. I can taste the orange alright, but no chocolate at all. A little bit of cinnamon maybe? Very artificial anyway. I’ll be able to finish the bag, but won’t be buying any again.

Oh well. I’m still enjoying it while I wait for midnight to come so I can go home…

I’m quite new to tea. Like many people, the tea brand that got me started into loose leaf tea was Davids Tea. It was about 2 or 3 months ago. My first try was Pumpkin Chai and I was blown away.

I started mostly because I was looking for something that would satisfy my sugar cravings without all the calories, and also for the health benefits. I soon realized the world of tea was way larger than what I originally thought, and I’m glad I’m now a part of it !

I’m way intense when I get into something, so I bought too many kinds of loose tea leaf, trying to figure out which ones I would like best… So far, I mostly enjoy flavoured black, green or oolong teas. Anything floral, fruity, minty or sweet is great. I like dessert teas and also enjoy chai teas. The only thing I can’t stand is rooibos. I’ve tried several blends and I had to either give them away or put them in the trash.

Other stuff I’m into include traveling, language learning, TV series, yoga, Harry Potter, reading, writing, eating too much and hiking.
