Tea Latte x2!
I enjoyed this one on two separate occasions as a latte this week whilst at work. I’ve decided it’s not worthwhile for me to buy this one given how heavy it is and how fickle it can be on the sweetness level, but I plan on taking full advantage of drinking it in store while we still have it. It’s the perfect thing for when I’m craving something really sweet and just a little fruity!
The first latte was with iced with soy milk and only three perfect scoops instead of the four of tea that we normally use for lattes; I was craving something sweet but not too sweet. It really hit the spot, and I thought that the pineapple, caramel, and cinnamon all came through quite smoothly and distinctly.
The second latte was the one I had tonight which was hot with regular ol’ cow’s milk and the standard four scoops of tea. It was also good, but the combination of the extra leaf and the milk I used this time around made it just the faintest bit cloying – and as a hot tea I didn’t find it nearly as refreshing either. Still solid overall though.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.

Happy to see this blend back, as I only have one cup left and I like the herbals that aren’t heavy on the hibiscus. I have a free 50g of tea, do you think this is too heavy/bulky to be a good buy as the free tea? I’m torn between buying an expensive matcha, stocking up on a staple (ie this blend), and waiting for the spring releases or valentines day options.
Well, going for something expensive is always nice because you’re getting more “bang for your buck” so to speak, but sometimes I think it is nice to grab something really heavy as well. I know before I was an employee I often switched between going the “grab something expensive” route and grab something heavy route (Banana Nut Bread usually) because I always feel guilty spending money on the heavier blends because I’m getting less cups worth for typically the same price as more normally weighted blends.
I will say, February/Valentine’s Day stuff is coming soon so if you want to hold off until then to know all of your options that’s fair but I wouldn’t wait for the Spring collection; it usually comes out in mid to late March and your free 50g will have expired by then…
Thank you! I’ll wait for the Valentines blends, which should be out any day now.
Ended up getting my 50g free tea of Caramel corn today because I was going right beside the local store anyway. Plus, I picked up some Cardamom French Toast and Spearmint. I actually asked for $4-$5 of spearmint, but a very full bag was barely $3. lol I love how light it is.
It’s crazy light! Chamomile is even worse though; it’s one of my least favourite things to scoop because it’s next to impossible to gauge the weight of it. I’m happy you got your Caramel Corn though!
