I found this one to be quite refreshing, I wish it was just a little bit more tart. I can’t wait to try this one iced!

drank Vanilla Sencha by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

I bought this one simply because it was on sale…it’s not too bad (I’m not really a fan of green teas). I steeped it pretty short just because I find green teas to be quite bitter, and I didn’t find this one bitter, but I could taste the earthiness from the green tea so I added just a hint of sugar. The vanilla is nice, it leaves a wonderful smell and lingering aftertaste. I enjoyed it but don’t think I’ll restock.

Flavors: Vanilla, Wet Earth

drank Just Beet It by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

I liked this one, just because I do love berries… this has got a great berry flavor, although it’s lacking the tartness I was hoping for. It tastes a lot like Bear Trap to me and similar to Queen of Tarts. I like it because it’s got the bit of caffeine in it.. although I think I’d choose this over Bear Trap, I think I’ll keep Organic Queen of Tarts over this one.

I really really enjoyed this one! To me it tasted like a fresh picked raspberry, tart and juicy. I’m a little confused tho about the caffeine content… on DT’s website it says its a low blend, but I ordered the rainbow tin of it and it says “stimulant” on it. I added just a pinch of sugar to this one, I also let it steep for about 15 mins too. I think I’ll be keeping this one in stock if I get that kick of energy that many people wrote about!

drank Santa's Secret by DAVIDsTEA

I finally like this one. I let it steep really long this time… about 45 mins while I was getting ready for work. The first 2 times I found it very bland and flavorless… but after steeping for a long time, finally the peppermint comes through! I do love it! I’m glad cause I went and bought 100g because I needed some more caffeinated teas, and I love black ones. I can really see how it would help a sore throat as well which is a bonus. I added a pinch of sugar and a tiny bit of milk.

drank Tulsi Tranquility by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

I found this tea blend to just be OK. To me it just tasted like a berry fruit drink… just watered down a little. I couldn’t taste the tulsi at all. I know the tea is filled with calming and anti anxiety remedies… but I still found myself getting wound up at work. All in all a good tea, just don’t think I’d buy this one.

Flavors: Apple, Hibiscus, Raspberry, Strawberry

drank Choco Chaga Detox by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

Although this one was quite chocolaty, I found it has a sharp taste (I’m guessing from the mushrooms) that I did not enjoy. It’s a good thing I had a sample of this to try, because I was just about to buy myself 50g of this tea. I find there’s other detox teas by Davids Tea that I would choose to drink over this one. It did taste a little bit better with milk and sugar… maybe a little less steeping time next sample.

Flavors: Chocolate, Earth, Mushrooms

drank Forever Nuts by DAVIDsTEA
106 tasting notes

This has got to be one of my favorite herbal teas I’ve tried from David’s tea! It tastes very similar to apple crumble. It’s nutty and delicious. I can’t wait to try it cold… as my hot tea started to cool down the cinnamon, almond and apple really seem to pop and get even stronger. I added a little bit of sugar in mine just to make it taste more like a sweet apple crumble.

Flavors: Almond, Apple, Cinnamon, Toasted

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
