You know those days where you just NEED chocolate? Like, the world will end if you don’t get it? But then you feel guilty about breaking whatever diet promise you made to yourself that morning? Well this tea will fix that problem. So so so chocolately! Just amazing.

A lovely night time tea, sweet and calming.

(Sorry for the not overly expansive reviews today, I have a cold and need something to do besides re-watching my entire dvd collection for the 3rd day in a row…)

Oh, and if anyone is wondering, the hibiscus is very mild, I didn’t even notice it. If anyone out there is thinking of trying this but worried about the hibiscus, don’t!

This is a lovely iced tea (and unsurprisingly goes well with sparkling white wine as a tea cocktail), with strawberries and a great sencha base. Not much of a fan of this one hot, but iced its great. A summer staple.

This one is really tasty. Hot, its very raspberry-ish, with the rooibos base giving it a nice flavour. Iced, it is sweet, creamy (hello, vanilla) and juicy. Goes a reddy-orange colour, smells sweet too! One of my favourite summer teas to ice.

One of, if not my favourite flavoured green. Sweet and soft, is as good iced as it is hot. Doesn’t need anything to sweeten it, but is nice with some honey or agave if you’re that way inclined.

Just so good!

My go-to cold and flu blend. Goes great with Tasmanian leatherwood honey when the winter ickiness gets you down (like me today, and yesterday :( )I like that the flavours are well balanced but still tastes useful, like its helping. Nice on a sore throat.

I like this better than DavidsTea’s Cold 911, that is a bit strong for my liking, and I feel like I need to like the taste of something when I’m sick!

Has a permanent place on my tea shelf during winter (I imagine it would ice well too if you get a summer cold or summer allergies).

Me too! Damn you, start of spring! I’d much prefer to be outside enjoying it (or collecting the tea book I ordered that has arrived at the bookstore…)

Dear god this sh#t’s powerful. Even with my heavily blocked, cold and flu tablet influence nose the mint and eucalyptus smack s you in the face. Dosed this with a dollop of honey, as even with all the sinus blockages, it’s still really strong.

Is going down ok, but I can’t have too many mouthfuls at a time as the eucalyptus is quite strong (not sure if that’s factually correct or just my cold).
will rate when I see how much it helps.

Had this one hot yesterday, and it’s just as good hot! It tastes exactly the same hot as it is cold, some teas taste different when hot or cold, but not this one. Oh, just lovely! Will re-order.

1. Open bag of bamboozled for the first time. HOLEY TEA GODDESS THIS SMELLS LIKE A HOLIDAY! So much peachy pineappley goodness in a bag! And it’s relatively light, there’s lots in that 50g bag of mine!

2. Make tea. Icing this for a cold drink with dinner. Used 3 perfect teaspoons in the first steep for 2 glasses, added another for the second infusion. The smell is still Intoxicating! It looks so bizarre steeping – the rose petals and the fruit expand out like oolong and take up the whole steeper. It looks like an overcrowded aquarium, with seaweed and fish going everywhere.

3. Steep into glasses. Hmm, there appears to be some kind of tea dust or floaties, as by the time the second glass drains its going much slower, and even slower in the second infusion. Will consider using a tea filter or a cocktail shaker next time.

4. Sipping time- ooh, tasts like tropical fruit, and is so refreshing cold! Second steep I added some agave and it was even fruitier! Wow! Love this one!

I remember getting my first cup of tea at about the age of 8. Just a standard run of the mill black, with some sugar and milk to make it palatable to an 8year old. But a love was born and I’ve never looked back!

I’ve always appreciated the quality of loose leaf, and thanks to the discovery of the fanatastic gadgets at DavidsTea while on holiday, the tea obsession has grown! Is it weird to be ordering tea and having it sent half way around the world?

I’d love to do some tea swaps with people to try new teas. I have a bit of a DavidsTea range for any Australians interested in trying some DT goodness minus international postage fees!

Ive just started working at The Art of Tea , a small Tasmanian company. They dont currently ship overseas, but im more than happy to arrange swaps with people. their full product listing can be found here: http://www.artoftea.com.au/. (December 2012).
