20 Tasting Notes

Dreamsicle from DAVIDsTEA
35

Honestly I was pretty underwhelmed with this one. I thought that the flavours didn’t really come out, and near the end it got fairly bitter. I realize that that’s generally a symptom of over-steeping, but I’ve never had this problem with any of my other teas, green or otherwise.

I didn’t sweeten it since it has stevia in it, which I thought would do that for me, but apparently not. I’ll try again with sweetener and see if it fares any better.

Pink Flamingo from DAVIDsTEA
100

Wow! This tea is AMAZING! And they are not kidding about the pink – it’s almost a crimson. Beautiful! It’s very fruity tasting and has a nice zing of an aftertaste. I’m usually one to sweeten my teas, but generally like to try them at least for a sip without being sweetened, and this doesn’t really need it (although I may still try it, as I find it can bring out some more flavours). I’ll definitely be stocking up on this one! So far I’ve only had it hot, but I imagine it will be even better cold!!

Green & Fruity from DAVIDsTEA
88

I went into DavidsTea while I was walking around after work last week, and since I don’t need any new teas right now (I’m working to make room though!!), I decided to just get a cup of tea to go. I like green rooibos, so I decided to try one I hadn’t had before, and this was recommended. And boy was it tasty! I find that some teas with dried fruit in them don’t really carry the flavour through once steeped – they smell great but you can’t taste it. But this one really delivered! Once again, green rooibos has failed to let me down!

Electric  Lemon from DAVIDsTEA
93

Wow! I really didn’t have any expectations for this tea, but is it EVER good! Great lemony-ness without being too sour. A delicious surprise!

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
43

I was really excited for this tea.. like.. REALLY. And it just did not live up to those expectations. I just found that there wasn’t really a distinctive flavour to it at all. I didn’t taste the chilis AT ALL. Boo. I’ll try putting a little more in it next time and see if that pumps it up.

Baked Apple from DAVIDsTEA
69

This tea isn’t bad, but it’s no Apple Pie (I think that’s what it was… it’s discontinued now). It just isn’t as good as I was expecting. Not bad, but not amazing.

Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
100

This is one of my all time favourite teas – when it came back to the shelves of David’s Tea again this fall, I almost jumped for joy since my supply was getting to the ends (even though I was trying to ration it!)!!

This tea is so warm tasting and full and.. perfect. It’s like a warm hug on a cool fall day (not to sound too cheesy). I have to stop myself from drinking this one exclusively and give my other teas a chance!

Banana Nut Bread from DAVIDsTEA
83

This one’s alright, but weird since there’s not actually any tea in it! I almost wanted to just snack on it haha!!

My only real complaint about this tea is the MESS it leaves after it’s been steeped.. gross. But the flavour is great!!

White Tiger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
87

Another staple in my household. It’s SO delicious. All I can say is try this tea! Iced or hot, it’s a good one, and we always make sure we have some on hand!

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble from DAVIDsTEA
46

Another tea that I find to smell absolutely delicious, but am disappointed when I taste it. I tried to like it, I really did. But I just don’t. I find it doesn’t taste anything near to what it smells like, which is too bad.

Cafe Mocha from DAVIDsTEA
65

This tea smells fantastic, but I’m not a huge fan of the flavour. I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but would prefer a cup of coffee over this tea, which is disappointing.

Edit: I tried this tea again with some milk added and it made it taste much better!

Genmaicha from DAVIDsTEA
85

I DO NOT like any non-flavoured green tea. But? This one is actually very delicious. Usually the only way I’ll drink unflavoured green tea is if my husband makes a pot without asking what kind I want. But I’ll actually pick this one! It tastes like popcorn! It’s got a nice almost nutty flavour to it.

Pina Colada from DAVIDsTEA
76

I have to be in the right mood for this one. It’s not bad but I’m not always up for coconut. Good for when I’m in the mood though.

Lemon Cream Pie from DAVIDsTEA
94

Oh this tea. It is SO delicious! It’s like a mug of dessert – and I like to give it a few infusions too since it’s a rooibos. It’s a great one!

Geisha Plum (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
83

I was quite surprised by this tea. I didn’t expect to really like it, but it’s actually pretty good!

North African Mint (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
78

I got this tea after a suggestion of using it for allergies. Of course I got it at the tail end of allergy season, so didn’t really get to put that theory into practice, but we’ll see next year I guess. It’s a pretty spicy tea, but good for every once in a while!

Night Out from DAVIDsTEA
85

My husband and I both really like this one! It’s pretty tasty. I generally dream a lot anyway, so I can’t say if it did anything for me, but he swears he’s had some vivid dreams after drinking this one!

Swampwater from DAVIDsTEA
87

When I first got this tea, I tried it and thought it was alright, then kind of forgot about it. But I tried it again recently, and you know what? It’s actually pretty darn good! It’s really got some great flavours in there that really come through. I sweeten my tea, so I’m not sure if that’s what helped, but after giving it a second chance, it’s become part of my regular list of go-to teas!

Vanilla Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
80

This tea is pretty nice, and it’s a good one for a long day in a cold office since, being an oolong, you can re-steep it several times. I agree that it takes some getting used to, but I quite enjoy it now.

Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
100

This is one of my all time favourite teas – when it came back to the shelves of David’s Tea again this fall, I almost jumped for joy since my supply was getting to the ends (even though I was trying to ration it!)!!

This tea is so warm tasting and full and.. perfect. It’s like a warm hug on a cool fall day (not to sound too cheesy). I have to stop myself from drinking this one exclusively and give my other teas a chance!

Profile

Bio

I try to pretend I’m a tea snob, but really I’m not. I just like tea – as a child, my grandmother used to call me a “tea face”. That was back when I was drinking Red Rose with probably more milk and sugar than tea.

Now that I’m a big girl and drink loose leaf, I’ll admit that I still sweeten my teas – I used to try not to so I could feel more like a tea snob (haha), but then I realized I was being stupid and I should just make my tea the way I enjoy it!
