This is very mildly spiced and desserty. I never find myself picking this one over other teas, partially because it has a small amount of white tea, so it’s a little caffeinated. I either want no caffeine or plenty, not this weird small amount. The flavoring is a little fruity, but also too artificial. The coconut comes through in a desserty way. This tea isn’t bad, but it’s sort of fake and strange.
This starts out pleasant with a nice bit of warming light spice, but then the stevia kicks in and takes over. It’s too sweet in that stevia way and is super distracting from the flavors. The aftertaste is all stevia too and a little sour, leaving a light itch in my throat. The spices do say pumpkin, but I don’t get to linger on them for long because stevia. I’ll have to try this cold steeped to see if it is any good that way. Hot is no bueno.
I absolutely could not resist ordering when I saw this tea released, as I’m always looking for new fall goodies to try. I decided to go for it, despite the stevia, hoping it wouldn’t be detectable. This smells absolutely delicious. Warm and cozy, with tons of nutmeg and clove. My excitement was dashed when I took my first sip. So.much.stevia. It absolutely ruins an otherwise lovely tea. So irritating. I cannot understand why DT continues to put stevia in their blends. I tried to push past the awful stevia flavor, because the tea is lovely otherwise. Nope, almost instant headache. Stupid stevia.
(DavidsTea already recorded)
Ugh, I need to get more of this. This may be the most cheesecakey tea I’ve ever had, and I like it. It has stevia, but for whatever reason it’s not making me too angry, I think I like the cheesecakey flavour too much. Not sure I get much pumpkin, but don’t really care.
I raided my white tea samples earlier this week and pulled out a couple that I’ve not steeped recently. So, even though this is definitely more of a Fall profile, it was a cup that I steeped on Sunday. It’s sweet. Very sweet, actually – in a sort of creamy white chocolate/whipped cream type of way but with the gentle undertones of pumpkin spice. My only downside – aside from not always being in the mood for a tea with this level of sweetness – is that the aftertaste is a little off? Almost too apple heavy, but accompanied by a little bit of astringency that’s weird with that apple note.
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 and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
