Magically tastes like grapefruit, even though there’s no grapefruit in it!

Would love to try it iced.

This tea tastes exactly like a candy cane kiss!

Dry: smells mint-y and excited me

Steeped: tastes exactly like a candy-cane Hershey kiss, which is exciting considering I haven’t been fond of mint teas of late.

2nd steep: didn’t try

Looking forward to: trying it as a latte

This is one of my absolute favourite teas. It’s a lovely way to start a day that seems like it might not be great, always puts me in a better mood.

As I don’t like chai, a friend got me this knowing it is one of Teavana’s most popular non-chai offerings
Dry: smells like fruit, and I like fruit.

Steeped: flavour is more subtle than I would have hoped, but adding sugar enhances it and makes it quite a lovely fruit-y drink.

2nd steep: quite similar to the first steep, steep a little longer, add some sugar and you can’t tell if it’s the first or not

3rd steep: same as 2nd.

Looking forward to: trying it iced once the weather warms up.

drank Lime Gelato by DAVIDsTEA

Received this tea as part of the Sweet Indulgence gift box. I was a little bit leery of it, as I often find green teas somewhat bland.

Dry: smell wasn’t very strong, didn’t inspire excitement (as some other teas do)
Steeped: still not much smell, very subtle flavour, addition of sugar did not enhance flavour either.

2nd steep: steeped for longer (10 minutes) and sweetened with 2 tsp agave and its now a quite nice subtly lime flavoured tea.

May try it iced.

I received a lovely rainbow tin of Birthday Cake as a Christmas present, and it makes me ever so happy.

Dry: smells really strong, and really sweet, like vanilla icing

Steeped: smells strongly, coworkers said like maple, or something else sweet. Tastes sweet, but not too sweet, and quite like a vanilla cake. An excellent way to start what may be a long day! Coworkers kept commenting how good I was making the room smell as well.

2nd steep: both smell and flavour not as intense, need to steep quite a bit longer for similar amounts of flavour.
