So I made the Ginseng Oolong for the boy and this one for me. I stopped by my local Davids to restock and try some new flavors today! This one was beckoning to me from the reviews on here and my enjoyment of Jessie’s Tea.

The dry smell is wonderfully berry filled!! Soo many berries! Wet leaves are also very berry like, with a hint of rooibos. The dry smell is more potent smelling though.

As for taste, mm, I get a myriad of things going on here. I get a nice blueberry right at the start, melding into a woody taste that reminds me of curling up by a fireplace in the winter. I like it! I don’t really get much of the floralness in here, it seems muted by the berries. There may be a touch of the lavender and rose at the end, lingering nicely.

Overall, a nice cozy cup of tea. I like the name of it and the berry taste. However, I think I still prefer Jessie’s Tea for my rooibos of choice…for now. :D

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
