From DAVIDsTEA

It’s officially time to sip to a fresh new start. And what better way to do it than with an invigoratingly citrusy green tea? Our new favourite has a vibrant punch of benefit-packed matcha, one of the best energizers ever. It’s also got a splash of sweet orange and lemon, to keep you awake and refreshed. And let’s not forget our secret weapon, ginger – the spicy root renowned for its powerful cleansing properties. Bright, revitalizing and oh-so tasty, this tea is like a detox in a cup. Talk about clean energy…

Price per 50g: $8.98

Smells pretty. Goes down smoothly too. Yum. It has matcha in it, but I can’t taste it at all in the tea. Which is a good thing. I am not the greatest fan of matcha, mostly because of the taste on its own, but I love the benefits of it and the energy it seems to give me. That is why I love it in smoothies or with milk as a shake with some sweetener.

I got a sample of this in my order today and so I made my one cup of this. Dry leaf it smells like lemon candy (suckers?) Annnd guess what? It tastes almost like lemon candy too! It’s not a bad tea, and I’m enjoying it, but I wouldn’t go out and buy it. To me it’s just too similar to Live Wire Lemon… Also I’m sure the health benefits are good so I’m recommending it.

This is the only tea I’ve had this weekend which hasn’t been an oolong, but we finally got it in store and since I’ve been waiting since the Feel Good collection was launched to try it I figured I could cheat on my all oolong weekend once and it’d be fine.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about this one even before trying it; it’s a green tea, and one with ginger and licorice root which are all ingredients that I’m kind of ‘meh’ about at best. Plus, I don’t think it’s the most unique blend and with it coming out right around the time of the launch of Live Wire Lemon as a core tea I’m not convinced introducing another lemon heavy blend was the best game plan.

That said, when I tried this one today I actually found the flavour pretty agreeable. That is to say that while it wasn’t anything more than average, in my opinion, for a tea that utilizes so many ingredients I dislike it could have been much worse. The lemon is sweeter and not very acidic/tangy which I think is good. I like when lemon blends are sweeter and less on the sour/acidic side. Of course, the licorice root is responsible for quite a lot of that sweetness but even the licorice root didn’t come off as super cloying or unpleasant to me. As for the green tea, despite the fact that this has a green base and matcha in it I thought the flavour of both was really well hidden. So this could be a good green tea for people who don’t like green tea, such as myself. The ginger was softer than I’d expected, but still present.

Overall, like I said, it was sort of average for me. I want to describe it as a bit of a cross between The Buzz and Live Wire Lemon, but just marginally greener.

And now that I’ve tried the complete Feel Good Collection here’s my final scoring…

1. Moroccan Mint
2. Buchu Superfruit
3. Turmeric Glow
4. Zestfully Green
5. Cocoa Boost

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.

For me, it tastes exactly like Live Wire Lemon. Not that it is a bad thing, it’s just repetitive. I overstepped it by accident, maybe it’s the problem
