I love this tea. The yogurt put me off a bit at first but I am growing to enjoy it more and more. I find it well balanced. This is definitely good for those sweet cravings.

Had this warm and was like “OoooooOOOOooooh! Yummy!” Then I had it iced and thought it tasted like banana. Hm, how strange. But still yummy! This tea is fun and simple.

drank Coffee Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA

Oh my gawwwwd, sometimes this is just what I NEED! The aroma and intoxicating taste of coffee without the bitterness, jitters and dehydration that comes with it. The first steep is very earthy, with coffee bursting through and a hint of chocolate. The second steep is much milder, and the chocolate and caramel flavour really comes out. I mix this with Read My Lips sometimes and it tastes like a mint mocha!

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 5 min, 15 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 240 ML

So this has gotten a lot of not so good reviews, but I will say it loud and proud: I love this tea! It does need a bit of sweetener, but I find it very refreshing and light. I love the zip of it. Does that make me crazy? :D

I was so excited to try this, and I really really really wanted to love it! Sadly, I find it very flat and boring. Not enough richness in the chocolate flavour, and the coconut is meh. I’ve made a cup on 3 seperate occasions, and every time, I’ve been a bit disappointed. The smell has nothing to do with the taste in my opinion. It’s ok. Just ok.

This tea is smooth, creamy and has a rich butter taste. The leaves are nice and shiny after steeping. i love it.

drank Grape Expectations by DAVIDsTEA

The first time I made this tea, I steeped it for too long and it was very bitter, so I tried it again, and made sure to do it properly and the verdict, after two extra tries is that this tea tastes like what grape scented playdough smells like. I was very disappointed.

Only good when mixed with blueberry bliss from teavana, to make iced tea. Tastes cheap, artificial and way too intense. I might use it as pot pourri

Teavana is definitely not my favorite place to buy tea but I must admit I really love this one.

Bio

I was introduced to the world of tea after trying to find a way to stop binging on sugar at night (I have a bit of insomnia). Then I had the brilliant idea of going to David’s Tea to get some sweet dessert-y teas to replace all the crap I was eating, whilst still satisfying my sweet tooth.

And then I tried an Oolong and I was done for.

So this is me, exploring the world of tea with excitement, spending way too much money on it, drinking impressive amounts of it, and although I do love flavoured teas, I am now beginning to try high quality straight teas, and trying to learn as much as I can. I have rarely been so passionate about something so quickly.

My boyfriend thinks I am crazy with all my teas. I actually hide some from him when I get deliveries, just so he won’t panic haha. When he does say something, I just reply that to me, tasting tea is like tasting wine, and it brings me the same kind of joy as eating chocolate or eating fine food. Only better.

Flavours I Like: Most fruits, Cinnamon, Licorice, Cloves, Pepper, Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cardamom, Floral Teas, Honey, Coffee, Pastry/Bread, Smoky, Woody

Flavours I dislike: strong vegetal tastes (a little is ok), Rooibos, Mate, Lemon, Raspberry (for the most part), Orange, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Overpowering Mint,

Other than that, un-related to tea, I love make-up artistry, parrots and birds (in real life, not objects lol), crime and trial stories, flowers, baking, wine, reading, collecting teapots and mugs and stand-up comedy.

I love Dexter, Orange is the New Black, Hannibal, all reality food and cooking series…

As I’m re-reading this I can’t help but to notice how I love extra dark things and extra happy things with no real middle. Hm. xD “I like staying up to date on murder trials…and drinking tea while bird watching!” I’m NOT weird, I swear. :)
