drank Pineapple Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

This is one I kept going back to and smelling but never trying. The first few times I smelled it in store, I really didnt like it at all. I picked it up about 2 weeks ago when they had a sale on pre-packaged teas. When I brought it home and smelled it, it was really different than what I had smelled in-store. This one surprised me and I do intend to buy more when I run out.

Mmmm…peaches! I love this one! It’s fruity, refreshing and could be equally good iced and warm. This is one of my recent additions to the permenant collection! I found it really similar in smell to mango madness although the taste was a bit different.

drank Happy Kombucha by DAVIDsTEA

What a surprise, this one was pretty good! I didnt know what to expect so I only got 10g of this. I would definetely drink again but not all the time. One thing I do suggest is to steep it a bit longer than suggested; this tea is quite mild in flavour and 1-2 minutes longer really helps to bring out the flavours more.

I got this as a free sample from one of the employees. They said that they didnt like the smell at first but did really like the tea. I too found the same thing. It is really different from what I normally buy but I liked it enough to pick up 50g.

drank Carrot Cake by DAVIDsTEA

I got this for free from an employee who I began chatting with about teas. The store didnt carry any but he had some in his personal collection he offered to share. I was really excited to try this tea but I was dissapointed with the taste. I dont know how to describe it…it was just wierd. I’m glad I tried it and did manage to finish the cup but will not be getting any more.

drank Toasted Walnut by DAVIDsTEA

As I have said in other tasting notes, I am not the biggest fan of nutty teas. I did like the smell and surprisingly enjoyed this enough the first time to finish the cup. However, the second time I drank this, I really didnt love it as much as the first and probably wouldn’t get any more.

I picked up 10g of this yesterday and am drinking it for the first time now. The smell is really strong and minty but with a bit of a twist which I can’t really describe. This tea is really different from any thing that I would normally drink. I do like it but I can’t see myself drinking it every day. This is one I would definetely recomend to anyone who likes mint and bold flavours. I find that the mint in this tea is what you taste first and the other ingredients follow as the mint mellows down. For all the bold flavours, it is really not overpowering like I expected.

drank Movie Night by DAVIDsTEA

This one surprised me…I only got 10g of this the first time to try but now I have a 100g tin. The smell is like caramel popcorn which immediately attracted me to it. I prefer to steep this only slightly as I find that is when it tastes the most like buttered popcorn. I have tried steeping it longer and have found that the flavour becomes more like sour apples.

drank Mango Diablo by DAVIDsTEA

This tea was really disapointing to me. I love mango madness which is really fruity and tastes just like fresh mangoes but this was more like watery, spicy, mango juice. I’m glad I only got 10g because I will not be getting any more.

drank Lime Gelato by DAVIDsTEA

This smells and tastes just like key-lime pie. I picked up a 10g bag of this and have only had 1 cup so far. It has really strong citrus notes. I believe that it may also be good iced.

Bio

I am a tea fanatic and have also recently made the transition from vegetarian to vegan! I always have tea in my hand and in my overflowing cupboard!

I prefer black, green and white teas. I have recently discovered mate and oolongs. So far I’ve enjoyed them however, I have not tried very many. I am not often a fan of rooibos as I tend to find them overly woody but have found there to be some exceptions. As for herbals, I am only recently beginning to drink these on a regular basis (mostly iced) as the weather gets warmer, but these I am willing to try. I have not yet developped the taste for pu’erh.

I tend to only rate and review the teas I drink once (maybe twice if my opinion REALLY changes; especially if I were to have them prepared a different way). I currently only use Steepster for logging my reviews of David’s Tea although I do drink teas from many different companies. Every time I visit the store, I try something new in a cup to-go as I enjoy going through the tea menu and marking off teas as I try them. My goal is to try them all!

My rating system is as follows:
90-100: Wecome to my permanent collection! (worthy of a 100g tin!)

75-90: Definetly would drink again but maybe not all the time. I would buy a small amount (50g or less) to have once in a while.

50-75: I will finish the cup but not my favourite.

25-50: I will try to finish the cup but may not be able to.

0-25: Not my cup of tea…down the sink we go!
