I decided to try this tea one evening, and asked the mister if he wanted a cup as well (he’s not a tea lover, but he’ll have the occasional cup) and he declined. I went ahead and brewed myself some and as it was steeping I hear “my god that smells good. Like cake!” Good sign, since that’s exactly what it is haha.
It was really quite delicious, the rooibos worked well in this and it was very mapley, which I wasn’t expecting as much, but it worked and was delicious.
I think the mister regretted not having a cup of his own, as he kept looking longingly at mine until I let him have some. He liked it also.
I don’t know that this would be great iced, I definitely see it better as a hot tea. It’s really quite tasty, but I probably don’t need another bag. And since it is so mapley, I suspect that the maple tea from DavidsTea would be a great substitute.

I agree, I can’t see this one icing particularly well. I think it would be even scummier than it is hot.

Recently graduated sociology student trying to decide what to do with her life.
I don’t drink tea every day, but I do love tea and trying out different flavours. My favorite is black tea, followed by white and mate teas. I enjoy rooibos and oolongs, but haven’t tried enough of them yet to determine how much I like them compared to other types. I don’t like straight green tea, but if it has a good flavour added to it I can enjoy it quite a lot.
Mostly I drink DavidsTea since its Canadian and they tend to have stronger teas and more interesting flavors than other places I’ve tried. I don’t care for what I’ve tried from Teavana for the most part; their teas seem weak and overpriced in general as far as I can tell. The exception is My Morning Mate, which is incredible.
My city has not a single specialty tea shop, so DavidsTea online ordering is my friend. I highly recommend their Perfect Mug. It really is perfect. Nice thin lip, large hand, larger than average mug without being too big, and I have it in clear so I can see the beautiful colours of my teas as they steep. The strainer that comes with it is my favorite because it doesn’t let any tea through, and its metal and dishwasher safe. Love it.
