Last night my hubby and I went into the David’s Tea at Scarborough Town Centre and milled around there for quite a bit. See, I really want to limit my tea purchases this year since I already have a fuckton of tea at home, but they just released their new lineup of teas yesterday, as well as their new teaware.
One of the new Perfect Mugs has CATS on it. Goddamn, I am weak, so I bought it.
And I bought a cat-shaped tea infuser.
And some Alpine Punch rooibos on discount.
And some Banana Nut Bread on discount.
And I got this tea for free as my Frequent Steeper reward.
So much for my discipline, eh? Not even a week into the new year, and I’ve already spent nearly $50.
Anyways, I had some Cardamom French Toast this morning. It’s amazing how there’s really this rich, eggy flavour to the dry leaf. There’s also a hint of something sour and creamy like cream cheese that I quite like. I rarely take my tea with milk and sugar, but I think it would work very well here.
By the way, here’s the new mug with colour-changing kitties! So cute! https://www.instagram.com/p/BAM5X3axIY9/

Nice cup!
I like this tea a lot. I’ve been craving it for several days now and I’ve got some here somewhere. It seems to have wandered off.
My excuse for spending way too much money at DT the other day is that it was all 40% off. The new stuff hadn’t come in yet.
None of the new teas have inspired me though I haven’t tried any yet. Did you like any of them?
Dawww so cute, love that!! I have a colour changing mug from them as well. Beware, they are stickers, so no dishwashers or super hot water. Or metal brillo pads on the outside. Hardy stickers, but mine is already scratched (someone put it into the dishwasher and a knife poked through from the bottom to second level, I’m just glad I caught it before the load ran!)
@Ness: I smelled the new teas, but haven’t tasted them. To be honest, they aren’t that interesting to me, though I may change my mind if I have a chance to taste them as teas-of-the-day within the store. I remember thinking the mango-turmeric one smelled really weird.
@Indigobloom: That’s why I’m sticking to drinking this at work, since there’s no dishwasher and I rarely reheat my tea in the microwave. I know that if I left it at home, it would end up in the dishwasher at some point and I don’t want to risk it.
Plus, the colour-changing decals act as a great signal that I need to finish drinking my tea before it cools down – I wish I had realized the benefit of them before.
@Ness, I picked up four of the new ones (somehow missed the Fennel one, though I’d have liked to try it) and will write notes for ‘em eventually. The Buchu Superfruit smelled REALLY good, imo. Mango Turmeric is the one I’ve got cold brewing right now.
yeah that is an excellent idea! I work from home mostly so I have no choice haha. Mine is holiday themed, candy canes… so I should probably retire it for the year soon. Maybe in a few weeks
Cute mug!
Thank you!
It just so happens that I passed by DT today and tried a sample of Mango Turmeric. I liked it, so I bought a bit to make at home and a few of the others in minimum quantity. The Buchu Superfruit did smell good, but I find DT fruit blends VERY tricky, some are divine and some are not even slightly. So, we’ll see. I look forward to what you make of it.
