I enjoyed it but I had high expectations (since it’s the first tea on Steepster for Damman Frères ;) ) I feel like this is slightly more floral than cake-y.

I was expecting more cakeyness too. :)

Didn’t particularly enjoyed this tea. Flavours too subtle, pu’erh base not interesting enough. Just taste like a regular pu’erh (at least to me [many people seems to enjoy it])

Yum yum yum. I’ve been trying for months to get the same taste I sampled in the store a year ago. Still trying.

drank Korean Sejak by DAVIDsTEA

Reminds me of Camellia Sinensis’ Tan Huong but a bit weaker. Not bad but won’t be buying more.

drank Snow Day by DAVIDsTEA

The sound of a white chocolate and mint herbal tea sound very interesting. I already love Read My Lips, which is a chocolate and mint black tea so I thought Snow day would be its caffeine-free version. First, the smell is awfully repelling, it’s like a very strong mint, the kind you would find in a cleaning product. The tea itself is not so bad: the mint is not as strong and we can taste more the chocolate. It’s nowhere as good as Read My Lips but it’s worth trying.

Just like juice. I feel like they either made this tea for people who like juice but don’t want the calories and the sugar or they made this for people who are more into summer iced teas and DT doesn’t want to loose those customers in the winter. Someone suggested in his review to eat it instead. I must say it made a very good oatmeal topping… except when I had the hibiscus bits.

Too sour! Yikes! Next time I’ll try it with the minimum time instead.

drank Green St Petersburg by Kusmi Tea

I don’t really like the original version of Saint-Pétersbourg because the flavouring is too subtle. The flavours are still subtle here but it looks like I don’t mind it as much in a green tea. Beautiful rolled gunpowder leaves.

We have to be careful with this capricious tea. I am steeping it at 75’c for 2 minutes. I like the smell very much (even if it seems like they just dabbed a few drops of almond essence into grassy green tea). The almond smell is much more subtle once steeped.

drank Four Red Fruits by Kusmi Tea

Lovely taste of cherry and strawberry! Perfectly balanced between fruit aromas and black tea. I had many bad experiences with fruits in tea with Davidstea but Four red fruits breaks the wheel!

~ my mother tongue is French so excuse my mistakes ~

I’m a curious person, I always love to discover new things, new teas, new brands.

I’ve tried several things from David’s Tea as it is the most accessible tea store in Montréal and that there is no minimum amount when buying in bulk. I’ve also tried a few teas from Camellia Sinensis and Kusmi, but their minimum amount makes me try less things.

I would really like to try new brands, especially French brands such as Mariage Frères, Dammann Frères, le Palais des thés and Fauchon. There’s also a lovely tea store in Québec city called «Monsieur T» that I would like to try.
