Just got a sample of this, not really a fan of it. I can’t really tell what flavor it’s supposed to be but it doesn’t remind me of walnuts. It’s got a very distinct vanilla taste to it.

I was so excited when I got my box of teas from them! This is the first random one I pulled out from the batch that I got. The initial smell of it was divine! Drinking the tea, the feeling I got reflected the scent. It’s deliciously slightly caramel-ly and had delicate flora to the taste. A really good tea to relax with!

Did I get a bad batch? This tea’s got a good rating!

I’ve always been a fan of DAVIDsTEA until recently. A lot of the newer seasonal teas have been very artificial, this one is no exception.

The smell of this tea is particularly enticing due to vanilla (I’m a sucker for) but overall smells like cupcake frosting. Even after following the steeping proper instructions, I found this tea to be rather un-flavorful and misleading. The apple and custard is nowhere to be found, just a mysterious blend of artificial sweetness.

This is not a hit for me! I really wanted to like it.

Bought it on a whim after receiving the Vday email about it. Too bad it tastes like cough medicine for me. :(
