You can really taste all the herbs in this blend, it did not have that overpowering menthol flavour that minty teas often have. I like this tea when I am sick or right before bed.

drank La Framboise by Palais des Thés
3023 tasting notes

One of my best friends picked this up on her trip to Paris last year and it is AMAZING. It smells sweet like raspberries but has an obvious green tea smell.

When brewed it is very bright but not acidic. I do find the green tea gets tannic if steeped too long, but I usually take the tea bag out and resteep it again later.

This tea is very good hot or iced. I like it with a bit of honey but it is sweet enough you don’t need any sweetener.

Flavors: Berries, Fruity, Green, Raspberry, Sweet, Tannic

Very weird flavour. It tasty a lot like yerba mate in that it has a burnt earthy flavour to it like cheap overbrewed coffee. You can taste a bit of cocoa, but no caramel.

Quite tasty for a powdered tea. You can taste the blueberry and green tea, but neither overpower the drink. The green tea isn’t bitter at all and the blueberry is nice and sweet.

Flavors: Blueberry, Fruity, Green, Sugar, Sweet, Tea

drank Coconut Ice by DAVIDsTEA

It tastes a lot like soap if you steep it the recommended time. If you steep it less than 2 minutes you can get a nicer tea with a moderate flavour, but it isn’t as strong as I would have liked.

Flavors: Coconut, Fruity, Soap

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 1 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

Bio

I studied biochem and botany at University with a focus on genetics and evolutionary biology. Now, I work in biology setting up labs for students. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. Most of my teas are older and in smaller smounts, so I can’t offer samples of most blends. But you can still message me any time :)

My cupboard and stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing are both outdated and I have not organized my current list of teas in several years.
Most of these are only tiny samples/I can’t always spare any, but feel free to ask.

Favourite flavours/ingredients:
Rum/alcohol, clove, cardamom, rosemary, pine, sage, anise, moss/Earthy, lychee, floral, creamy, malt, hay, rice/grain, toasty, desserty, cocoa/chocolate, decaf or no caffeine, very unusual flavours

Favourite tea types
Decaf teas (any variety)/no caf tisanes like honeybush and rooibos, fruit blends without hibiscus, yellow, jade oolong, white, Darjeeling blacks, Longjing

Least favourite flavours/ingredients:
Acidic/sour/tart, melon, grapefruit, bitter, astringent, smokey, green apple, sickly sweet (too much chicory, cinnamon, or licorice root), yerba mate, turmeric, mushroom/fungus, vegetal and savoury

No
Animal products: [confectioners glaze, gelatine, milk-based natural flavours, white choc chips, caramel bits, etc]
