How it tastes
Flavors of slightly sweet preserved lychee with a strong jasmine finish
It’s time to upgrade your bedtime routine. This delicate & fruity gold blend is rooted in sweet lychee with a myriad of floral jasmine notes. If you’re familiar with jasmine, we think you’ll agree that the scent alone brings a sense of calm. We then mixed in delectable lime tree blossoms & relaxing lemongrass. Nighty night, tea fam.
What makes it great
• This sleepy-time infusion features lime tree blossom, rose blossoms and aromatic & floral lychee.
• Lime tree blossoms are loved for their relaxing properties.
• Intoxicating aromas of sweet lychee & floral jasmine.

Day 15 of DavidsTea herbal advent calendar. This blend was so appealing to me when it came out! I didn’t buy it because of the sulfites warning – sulfites are a potential migraine trigger – but I’m happy to have a little bit to at least sample!
I find this too sweet and juicy for a bedtime tea, but very enjoyable otherwise. It’s got a strong, juicy lychee flavor with a supporting note of lemongrass. It’s also lightly floral on the back end. The flavors in this are cleaner and more complex than a lot of DT herbal blends, and even though it’s sweet it doesn’t taste sugary or overly sweet. I really like it, especially cold. It makes for an exceptionally good tea soda too. Bummer that there are sulfites in this and I couldn’t get it.
Flavors: Floral, Lemongrass, Lychee
(DavidsTea 160)
Doesn’t have chamomile, so I decided to go for it! This does taste kind of bland like a sleepytime tea, with some overtones of fruity-floral lychee. It’s perfectly drinkable, just not my style. Although, I am now yawning so maybe it’s doing something?
Sipdown 122-2021
Finished this off as a coldbrew with honey. The lychee scent is absolutely divine. The front of the sip is juicy, and tastes like biting into a fresh lychee. However, there is a really strong perfumey flavor at the end of the sip and in the aftertaste. The perfumey flavor is so distracting, it’s difficult to enjoy the fresh, juiciness.
Adventaggedon Day 15: Tea 1/8
Cold Brew!
Thank you to everyone who commented or reached out to wish me well. I still think my bite it wrong and I’m going to have to go back to the dentist to get it fixed, but I’m feeling much better overall today and aside from some mild discomfort while eating no pain today…
I was pumped to see this in my assortment since it’s one of my favourite teas to have come out this year. Or, at least, I think it was this year? To be honest 2020 and 2021 definitely kind of blur together at a certain point. It’s such a juicy and fresh tasting lychee though with a nice floral undertone. I love it chilled and so this cold brew was especially refreshing since my apartment is continuing to be a bit of a sauna – less so that yesterday though.
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.
