drank Pure Vanilla by DAVIDsTEA

Sipped this warm with milk before bed tonight. I went out for wonton soup and hunan beef with friends tonight then came home for some tea and TV. Currently watching Showtime’s The Affair (I love Ruth Wilson – she was amazing in Luther if you haven’t seen it). I have 3 episodes to watch until the season is complete.

Anyhow – this tea is a favourite bedtime treat. It is smooth, creamy and semi-sweet. I swear all of this pre-bed rooibos is making my skin glow ;) I add a bit more tea leaves to this pot and steep for longer than usual (I add 2 mins onto the recommended time)

Flavors: Cream, Rooibos, Smooth, Sweet, Vanilla

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 24 OZ / 709 ML

I definitely read “hunan beef” as “human beef”! I was wondering where in world you were eating at!

A cozy, refreshing afternoon green tea. I love the taste of this ricey/salty tea for days when I feel like something warm but not heavy.

This is also really good for that 3pm afternoon wall I sometimes hit at work – or at home.

Flavors: Green, Nutty, Popcorn, Rice, Roasted, Salt, Salty

drank Strawberry Fields by DAVIDsTEA

This tea is growing on me – so much, in fact, that I purchased 100g – 1/2 to share with my SIL who is visiting from the Netherlands in a few months.

Today I started my day off with 3 cups of SF served hot with milk :)

Flavors: Fruity, Smooth, Strawberry, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 32 OZ / 946 ML

Another person with Dutch in-laws! :) I married a 2nd generation Dutch Canadian (meaning his Grandparents were born in the Netherlands) and he still has family who live there.

I’m 3rd generation Dutch Canadian :) Small world! My brother and SIL live in Maastricht right now. I’ve never been but am planning (excitedly) a trip to visit this summer – have you and your hubs been?

Kristal

Very cool- I’m not sure exactly where his family lives- Friesland I believe? I hope you have a great trip!

We’ve never been to the Netherlands-one day, maybe :). Family members have gone though and they’ve had a great time :)

drank Birthday Cake by DAVIDsTEA
34 tasting notes

This was one of the first teas I bought while learning about DAVIDsTEA. I bought a 50g bag and came home to drink 3/4 of it before realizing that it is better as a tea latte. I forgot this while brewing my nightly pot this evening and just served it hot with milk and agave.

Birthday Cake is a sweet, dessert tea that is a calorie-friendly alternative to the mug of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream I planned on having ;)

This is a nice tea to have in my cupboard – a lot of people enjoy the smell, although I personally think it smells better than it tastes (even with sugar and milk).

Flavors: Cake, Cream, Honey, Smooth, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 1 tsp 32 OZ / 946 ML

Whenever I go to the mall (which isn’t too often) I always get a birthday cake latté as a little treat :)

Tea lattes are such a nice little pick-me-up! Every time I go to the mall I always spend $25 at DT and then don’t want to buy a $5 latte… I’m the worst.

Kristal

I totally hear you. Last time I was at the mall I spent around $60 on 14 different kinds of tea from there (only 10-26 grams of each tea though!) and thus I resisted the temptation to spend another $4.50 for a latté. Would have been nice though. Oh well.

drank Exotica by DAVIDsTEA
34 tasting notes

This is my favourite tea from DAVIDsTEA – ever. If I could make this into a perfume/scent for my body, I would. If I could buy a shampoo or body wash that smelled like this – would.

I love the spice of the peppercorns, and the smoothness of the coconut and lemongrass. They announced they were retiring it 1 month after I had discovered the company. I ran and bought 250g which I am hoarding. I emailed them to express my disappointment and received a “better stock up then” email. Grr…

Once a week I enjoy this tea – hot or iced, weather depending. It’s the perfect hot tea for a rainy day or the perfect iced tea after a long run.

Tonight I served it hot – brewed a whole pot for myself and will spend the next few hours sipping and reading online.

Flavors: Artificial, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Citrus Fruits, Cloves, Coconut, Ginger, Honey, Lemon, Lemongrass, Orange, Pepper, Pineapple, Smooth, Spicy

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 40 OZ / 1182 ML

This tea is my favourite black tea from DAVIDsTEA. Creamy, smooth, and spicy.
