I’m so confused by this tea. It’s too tart to drink in most forms. I tried it hot, I tried it iced, and then I had to add a generous helping of rock sugar to my iced tea after that. I cold brewed my recycled tea leaves in a bottle, and at least the resulting lightly-flavoured water wasn’t terrible. However, the only positive things I have to say are that the tea leaves turned my drink a very pretty pink, and the aroma – both before and after brewing – was wonderful.

This tea reminds me of Snow Day, and that’s not necessarily a good thing; after all, I only drink Snow Day when I feel a sore throat coming on. The mint and chocolate flavours are very strong, and I’m disappointed that I can’t taste more of the green tea itself. If you blindfolded me and gave me a cup of this tea, I would swear that it’s a herbal infusion instead. In contrast to Strawberry Shake, which I drank yesterday, I don’t like Mint Chip Sundae nearly as much.

I was very apprehensive about the papaya in this tea. But Skinny Tins were 2 for $15 in-store, and I liked the sound of Strawberry Shake (as a green tea) a lot better than Vanilla Swirl (as a herbal infusion). It seems I needn’t have worried. Mostly, this tea just tastes like green tea with a subtle hint of sweetness. The aroma of the strawberry shake is spot-on. This tea is delicious.

I sampled this in-store. I was really wary about it because I’ve had bad experiences with herbal infusions before. First sip – all I could taste was pineapple. That ruined the tea for me, because I dislike pineapple as both a fruit and a flavour. However, I drank what was left in my cup and held it in my mouth a bit longer – eventually I did get the impression of soft serve vanilla ice cream, as advertised.

Long story short, I don’t like this tea, but that’s due to personal preference.

This is a…pleasant tea, but I don’t think it’s exactly what’s advertised. I can taste a faint hint of strawberry flavour, and no cream flavour at all. In my opinion, it takes a really long time for this tea to steep? The container says 4-7 minutes, but my cup still tasted like water after that time; I had to steep for 10 minutes before the water even changed colour. This tea is not too sweet, and not too tart, but it’s not very amazing either. At least I don’t have to add anything extra to make it palatable.

Wow. I’m someone who likes strong black teas with subtle flavours, and White Chocolate Rose doesn’t disappoint. When I read the description, I thought it would be similar to DAVIDsTEA Love Tea #7, but with white chocolate bits added. The sales rep said it was more like Red Rose English Breakfast tea, and that’s the better comparison. I brewed a teapot without having to add any milk or sugar. The tea looks a little greasy due to the white chocolate, but it tastes sublime.

On my second try brewing, this tea was slightly more tolerable when topped up with half and half coffee cream instead of milk. I still would not recommend this tea, though.
