This tea looks And smells live blueberry heaven. Don’t forget the main attraction, Dolphin Sprinkles. I mean, who cares what else is in this? I could just leave it there. But! Cutesy sprinkles in tea does not make for a standout tea. Luckily, the tea lives up to it’s sprinkles. Yummy and robust, this is a good morning tea that is perfect with blueberry muffins :P

Oh, yes. This hit the green tea spot this morning!

So buttery smooth, fresh and vegetal. Perfect balance of umami and zesty citrus brightness. I feel like it’m drinking spring in a cup! Too bad it’s been cold as fuzzzzzzz lately. I miss warm and sunny days ;/ what the hell spring?

Thanks so much to letting me try out this blend Ost! I am so happy you let me ‘test run’ some teas before making a David’s tea order. You rock!

Me no likey. Less tea, more apple pieces than anything else. I wasn’t expecting a marvelous green, but i still enjoyed my mug. It had that ’David’s Tea flavor’ to it, which to me means apple, almost coconutty butterscotch top note. I liked the subtle corn notes, they were smooth and buttery. It more of a kettle corn feel, rather than movie theater butter and loads of salt. I am so glad I was able to sample this before purchasing a whole 50g. I had been eyeing this blend for a while, because popcorn. Now I know better than to purchase. Not bad, just didn’t live up to my expectations.

Rice pops!
This was a lovely genmaicha. The little rice krispies in this blend were fun too! The sample I had was mostly genmai’s and rice pops and less ‘cha.’ Delicious nevertheless.

I bought this tea last spring at my local Natural Grocers. I have had a lot of other senchas since then, and now I am not so wow’ed. The leaves are half chopped with some long flat, intact leaves still present. This is still a really nice tea. It’s dark green, brews up a strong, vegetal cup of deliciousness. It’s also not fussy at all. It can get a little astringent if I forget about it, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. A great daily green, for sure.

I wasn’t sure about this one. The smell reminds me of peaches and cream instant oatmeal. Which does not sound like a compliment, but there was a year in life where I ate nothing for breakfast except off brand peaches and cream instant oatmeal. I still crave it sometimes too :P
All in all I was impressed and surprised by this tea, It’s a really good peach black tea. I can’t wait to try it iced!

From the Not my cup of tea TTB!
I friggin LOVE Halloween! And candy corn. So much so that it scares my roommates during the month of October. I buy a bag of candy corn and hide it just for myself. Too bad the cops would probably be called if I went trick or treating…
This tea does taste like candy corn, regardless of whether or not I drop a candy corn in. Candy corn basically tates like creamed honey to me, and this is just like a plain black tea sweetened with honey. The base was pretty boring, just your basic slightly malty, bold black tea. Nothing too thrilling, but I am glad to have had the experience.

Today I discovered that all that glitters is not gold. It’s silver sprinkles.

Thanks Nicole for putting together this group order! While I am not as keen on earl grey as the next person, this is a really nice earl grey. I love the combination of vanilla and bergamot in this particular blend. I thought I didn’t get any silver sparkles in my wee bit, but as soon as I poured a small cup for myself, yup, there they are! Just swimming in the depths of my teacup. I nice smooth earl grey A+ would recommend
