Using the term “spice” in the name of this tea is a misnomer. There is not a hint of spice at all. It tastes like a red Roobios tea with no hints of pumpkin or spices.

I received a sample of this tea in my latest order from David’s Tea. It smelled wonderful while it was steeping. However, when I took a sip, I nearly spit it back out. It is SWEET. Really sweet. I don’t like sweet tea, and so this was really not for me. I dumped the cup down the drain.

This tea had an very artificial raspberry flavor to me. I threw it away. It was just not for me.

I have only tried this warm, and the peach notes were pleasant. I think this would make a fabulous iced tea.

drank Exotica by DAVIDsTEA

This is a very mild flavored tea. There are muted flavors of lemon and a little warmth from the spices. It is not my favorite tea, but I think it would be an enjoyable tea for when I am a bit under the weather.

This is a nice, warm tea with the right combination of spices and coconut. I have only tried it hot – I don’t think it would be very good iced.

This is a fun tea – hints of spices and coconut. It is good alone or mixed with some Chai tea. A nice tea for a Fall evening.

When I first had this tea, I loved it. I loved that the flavor of nuts was prominent. However, my initial excitement has faded and this tea has fallen to just the “O.K.” category. Instead, I like to mix this tea with some Rooibos Chai. Mixing the two teas, the nut flavor becomes a compliment to the Chai spices.

drank Dosha Chai Rooibos by Teavana

This is a unique type of Chai tea. The coconut flavor is fairly pronounced, which I think is a nice note to the usual Chai spices. However, if you do not like coconut, you would not like this Chai tea.

Another favorite Chai tea from Teavana. Unlike the Roobios Chai, this Oolong Chai tea has a nice cinnamon note.

Bio

I am relatively new to tea. My prior experience with tea was limited to tea at Asian restaurants and iced tea from Starbucks. I pretty much shunned tea.

A few months ago, I started a restrictive diet and was looking for something with flavor that had zero calories, zero sugar and zero carbs. With that in mind, I wandered into a Teavana store and walked out with a massive amount of tea and a lighter wallet.

Since that purchase, I have discovered David’s tea. While I primarily prefer Teavana tea, I do not like how Teavana does not provide any carb/sugar information on their teas. Based on David’s tea, it is likely that many of the Teavana teas would have sugars and carbs that I can’t have in my teas.

So, for the time being, I am focusing on teas that do not have many dried fruits or other sugary added ingredients. My current favorite is chai teas – but I have found there is quite a bit of variety of chai tea from place to place.
