drank Fantasy Island by DAVIDsTEA

I’m so glad I bought this one, It’s definitely a new favourite. This makes me feel like I’m on a beach, right smack dab in the middle of winter. It’s a warm black tea laced with coconut and accented with raspberries (though it’s not at all tart, but more floral). I can see this being really good in the summer chilled. Fabulous tea to try if you’ve never had a davids before.

Wow, not what I was expecting. When I smelled it, I was overwhelmed by the raspberry/blackberry smell and so I expected it to taste bitter. But it’s not. I may add more peppermint to it next time. I suspect it will be better cold. Perfect for summer.

I love green tea, and I love Goji, and these two go together pretty well. Not amazing but pretty well.

I don’t know why i bought this tea. I HATE the taste of Echinacea. I tried to add a bag of peppermint to it to kill the taste but it’s just nasty.

I love love love this tea. It’s a fragrant green tea with a pleasant aroma. I drank it a lot when I was pregnant and now I come on here and see, not to be used while nursing or pregnant. Oops! It’s definitely one of my favourite Yogi Tea’s!

drank Prosperous Peach Oolong by Teavana
50 tasting notes

I had such high hopes for this tea. It’s not amazing. I can’t really taste the peach, it really just tastes like a lighter oolong. Meh. What the previous taster said, it tastes vegetal. I don’t hate it. It just doesn’t taste like much.

Teavana is such a crap shoot…

Erin

Which is bad because i just ordered about 2lbs of various teas online from them…BEFORE checking steepster. shakes head. BOOOO to my wallet.

Honey

To be honest, there appears to be a bias on Steepster against Teavana anyway, so I’m not sure how useful reading the reviews can be. I’m sure part of it is because tea connoiseurs have a refined taste, but it’s important to keep in mind that all tea shops will have teas you like and teas you hate. I read tons of praise for Adagio and DavidsTea and half of those I find disgusting. Thus, sometimes we have to chalk it up to different tastes. My personal experience with trying many other sources for tea has not pulled me away from the favorites that I did find at Teavana, and the ones I liked less I just stopped drinking. So, don’t be disappointed in your shipment yet!

TeaBrat

Erin , I did the same thing. And I have found a few of them that I actually liked so they aren’t all terrible but I am leery of them, to say the least.

drank Organic Cold 911 by DAVIDsTEA

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel drinking Eucalyptus in any form. I was not feeling 100% as of late and it is always worse in the morning, so I decided to brew some of this today. It tastes better than it smells. You can really taste the Orange peel in it, and you can feel the cooling from the peppermint. It has opened my sinuses, and has soothed my sore throat. It’s a keeper. I always prepare myself for the worst taste when drinking “remedy” tea’s—this one is pretty good :)

drank Splash! by DAVIDsTEA

Bah! Cardamom you strike again! I dislike you. It’s not my fav and i like the detox tea more than this one but it’s not terrible. When you are drinking a tea for health purposes like detox and cleansing, it’s not going to be a chocolate tea :P I do really think this would have been better with out the middle eastern spice. But what do I know.

Preparation

Most of these are only good with milk and sweetened like chai. If you have coconut milk add that.

drank Forever Nuts by DAVIDsTEA

Blech! Not for me. I know some people really like apple strudel in a cup that is PINK. But it’s too tart for me. I know it’s one of Davids most popular tea but this is more for people who are mostly about herbal tisane’s. Pass me some caffeine

PINK! hahaha… I immediately thought of the Aerosmith song…

I usually feel the same way… But I have to admit that some tisanes are starting to grow on me! : )

Erin

I agree, I find some Tisane’s grow on me, but this will not be one of them lol
