From DAVIDsTEA

Cookie of the year

Happiness is…the smell of gingerbread cookies baking in the oven. Warming up with a perfect cup of tea. And sharing something sweet with your family and friends. And with this sweet and toasty tea, you can have all three at once. We started with a smooth base of rooibos, then added a sweet hint of maple and molasses. Then we warmed it up with spicy cinnamon and crystallized ginger. Finally, we added a dash of yerba maté for an energizing kick. With this in your tea cupboard, happiness is just a steep away…

I got this to-go from DAVIDs which I don’t normally do. Smells like gingerbread dry. Tastes like DAVIDs Birthday Cake with the faintest suggestion of ginger and molasses. Meh. Not what I had hoped for. I feel like it might’ve been better had I just gotten a sample to prep myself at home… D:

Edit: As it cools it’s a bit more ginger but still not really something I’d sing and dance about.

I dunno how this tea will be, but I am looking forward to trying it in my 24 days of tea!

Other reviews seem positive so hopefully it turns out more like the tea they’re describing!

Super excited to try this (but if I’m not careful, I’ll have tried every tea from the 24 days of tea before I even open my calendar :/ ). Mixed feelings about this, mostly cause I didn’t realize it was a mate and the flavour is there (though for a mate, it’s not bad). Also…pineapple? Who’s eating gingerbread and goes “wow, I’m going to grab some pine aplle to go with this!”? It makes it feel like an odd mix between a winter tea and a summer tea (though that does match the weather today)
Aside from that, a very nice tea. More ginger molasses cookie that what I would traditionally consider gingerbread—it’s got that soft, sugar covered feel to it. If some appeared in my stocking at Christmas, I wouldn’t protest, but I’m probably not about to go buy some myself.

Flavors: Cookie, Molasses, Pineapple, Spices, Sugar

Is the pineapple overwhelming? I was at davids last night getting a steeper and the two employees were lamenting about the pineapple in this tea.

I wouldn’t say it’s overwhelming (at least not in the cup I had). There was a hint of it at the beginning, particularly as it cooled, but the aftertaste was all cookie.

Hm, interesting. After DAVIDs posted the note it’s then I realized this had a bit of mate in it. I like mate personally, so that’s alright, but on the other hand I’ve been only having 1 cup of caffeinated tea per day. So unless this really wows me I’ll prob just have the sample in the 24 days of tea and that’ll be it since I have lots of green teas and whatnot to use up.

Dry leaf: Sweet molasses, maple and freshly baked cookies.

Liqueur: Red-brown, gingerbread is very prominent. Smells like a warm dessert.

Flavour: Sweet and full-flavored molasses balanced with a mild ginger. True to a sweet gingerbread cookie.
