The more I keep drinking this one, the more I start to enjoy it. This brew time I’m getting a strong vanilla flavor, which is warming me from the inside out. I’m still enjoying the subtle mint flavor as well.

Flavors: Peppermint, Vanilla

This tea sounded really good, but was very disappointing. All I could really taste was the currents and a bit of sweetness. For as long as I steeped it (about 20 mins) it just tasted like a watered down juice drink.

Flavors: Apple, Black Currant

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I had a feeling I wouldn’t be too big of a fan of this tea because of the ginger. However, it was better than I thought it would be. The apple gave it a bit of a fruitiness and the ginger gave a kick of heat. I got it in one of Davids packages… I believe the energizing teas kit… I don’t think I’d buy it again. But it was at least worth a try… a nice afternoon pick me up.

I didn’t think I would like this one, because I’m not too big of a fan of cardamom and even the clove in it. However it isn’t overpowering at all. The hint of lemon at the end is a nice flavor. It really does make me think of french toast while drinking it. I added a little bit of milk and sugar just because I find black teas can be a little bitter.

Flavors: Cardamom, Clove, Lemon Zest

I found this one to be quite refreshing. I’m tasting the hint of spearmint and a nice fruity flavor, mostly and apple or strawberry flavor. I love having this one before bed, always helps put me to sleep.

This is the very first tea I was given by a co-worker that started my addiction with David’s tea. I love everything about this tea, even the subtle coconut. Let me tell you it really helps with sleep too! Definitely a staple night time tea.

I really enjoyed this fruity tea. The blackberry is really nice, and it must be the blackberry leaves that gives it a little bit of pop. I got this as a sample in my advent calendar, after trying it I KNOW it will make a good caffeine free summer tea. I tried it hot, I’ve yet to try it cold!

Flavors: Berry, Blackberry, Blueberry

Bio

Was just introduced to loose leaf tea within the last year. Never thought i’d ever get used to life without coffee! I’ve really been enjoying all the new flavours and different types of teas.. so much to learn and taste!
I usually drink my teas with a little milk and sugar… unless it is a herbal infusion or the ingredients don’t mix well with milk.
Some of my favourites so far are savoury black teas, and I’m always a sucker for anything involving mints or fruits.

90-100: Cupboard staple – will buy when I run out

75-90: I’ll drink what I have, may restock when out

55-75: I’ll drink it, but probably won’t buy it

0-55: Might finish it, might feed it to the sink
