So one of my DAVIDsTEA coworkers recently got back from a road trip to Banff with a few friends, and of course she stopped and bought tea there because that’s just what tea people do. Very kindly, she brought in some of the teas for anyone working to try if they wanted to and I’m not gonna turn down free tea – especially free tea I’ve never tried before.
On her recommendation, I tried this one iced. It kind of blew my mind because it tasted almost exactly like a beloved, retired tea that DAVIDsTEA used to carry of which I was very fond. Which tea? Coconut Grove of course! Seriously – the delicious, sweet and smooth coconut notes were exactly like those in the DT blend, and the vanilla made it so smooth and silky. Plus the white base? YES! The only real difference was that this particular blend has some floral undertones to it. Specifically, it’s got lavender notes. I think there MIGHT be lavender actually in the blend but I’m not 100% on that because I never looked at an ingredients list.
Very, very good though! Thanks a bunch Leah!!!
Banff Tea Co. makes mighty fine teas. I don’t think that I’ve tried this one, but it sounds like another winner. And lavender plus coconut—stellar idea!
