Picked this up today because I’ve been fighting a nasty cough that just keeps getting worst. My sinuses aren’t plugged, so I definitely picked up the scent of juniper when I opened the bag along with peppermint and eucalyptus…absolutely no orange. The citrus and mint came through when I brewed…quite honestly I probably wouldn’t drink this outside of being sick but it is making my throat feel better and is helping clear my sinuses from the minor congestion they are experiencing so yay.

Kind of smells like a tree in my books…atleast that was my first thought when I opened the bag…its a nice smell though

This is delightful, fruity without being sour and I am so, so, so sad that we ran out and that its a seasonal tea! I really hope they bring it back next year. Its super enjoyable and I will definitely stock up!

I found it to be fruity, sweet with just the right amount of tartness from the hibiscus. I actually really enjoy the slight tartness that comes after the fruity flavour. The colour is gorgeous, reddish-pink and it smells amazing! I’m not a fan of iced teas but I may try this iced!

Mmmm so I revoke my earlier comment about this not being a permanent fixture in my cupboard because its completely and utterly grown on me. I’m on the second steep of my batch today and the flavour hasn’t yet waned although there is definitely an underlying tartness to it that went away with a little bit of agave. Lots and lots of coconut in both the first and second steep – just yum!

I should be in bed but yet I find myself watching Lost Girl and drinking this delightfully tasty tea. Its got the nicest undercurrent of cinnamon and I definitely taste clove, rooibos and orange…YUM. Very sweet and that is just being drunk with no sweetener at all. I’m certainly glad I got this and cannot wait to add more to my cupboard AFTER I finish some more tea…

I bought this along with a few Chai teas from Davids today and got some to go, there is a very light chocolate taste which pairs very nice with the vanilla and coconut. I find its a very smooth, sweet tea which was a nice change from the Hot Lips tea (spicy) I had this morning while in class. I’m savouring it and very glad I bought enough to have a few cups. I’m not sure if it will be a permanent fixture in my cupboard just yet but it will definitely be one I buy more of!

I had this one yesterday before my meeting and all I gotta say is yum! Tastes like an almond cookie. I didn’t really get much cinnamon but when compared to Hot Lips (Davids Tea), Samurai Chai/Chai blend (Teavana) and Cinnamon Hearts (Davids) its a bit of an unfair playing field. Definitely a good dessert tea, and absolutely tasty right up to the last drop. I added a splash of milk which made it really creamy, can’t wait to have more although this came as a sampler so I’m trying to make it last!

This was the first loose leaf tea I ever had and its one of my favourites that I am desperately trying to make last. Its lovely and each steep seems to bring out a different hint of flavours. On the first steep you can really taste the spices, and it makes a beautiful morning tea with just the slightest undercurrent of citrus, the second steep certainly brings out more citrus and on a third steep – albeit weak, you can really taste the white. I absolutely adore this tea for whatever ocassion. I love the multitude of flavours that come with this tea – its like trying something new with each brew!

So had this for my morning tea because who doesn’t like drinking a cup of chocolate-tasting stuff in the morning! Tried it with some milk this morning, it takes the bite of the chili which I’m not sure if I like or not but it definitely smooths out the chocolate flavour and makes it taste like hot chocolate! Definitely recommend it – also made it drinkable quickly. Next time I plan to add another tsp just to make it stronger.

I’ve tried it once…and I’m kind of glad I only purchased 25 g since my first experience with it hasn’t exactly been positive. I steeped it a little longer than expected – the result – bitter, bitter, bitter bleh. Tried to sweeten it but no go. I’m going to try steeping it a little shorter next time but I don’t think this is going to turn into a go-to tea anytime soon. Wasn’t even able to finish off half of a cup.

While I’ve pretty much converted to loose leaf, I do have to admit that this is one of my favourite bagged teas and definitely my go to when I hit up Timmies (which is almost every Saturday as work is right across the street). Its got a nice depth of flavour for a bagged tea and tastes very good with milk and sugar!

Alright so I’m two sips in…and I decided to write a note. The kettle was almost boiling, not sure what water temperature it was at – didn’t check. I took the note from a few people about steeping a little longer and waited about 5-6 minutes and wow does it have some kick to it. Definitely tastes like hot lips or if you stuffed your mouth with cinnamon hearts. Absolutely delightful tea, I’m going to have to stock up before this one runs out! Doesn’t have the same heady smell when steeped that it does when you open the bag with the dried leaves, however it tastes wonderful. As far as smells go I suppose I’m used to my two chocolate teas that I’ve been drinking all week. This is definitely one of my favourites and is starting to nudge Cinnamon Heart into second place for my cinnamon teas. I still need to try the Cinnamon Rooibus that Davids has.

I’m a fan of the Chili Chocolate Chai that Davids Tea came out with and under a recommendation from a friend decided to try Read My Lips. Its definitely a good chocolate tea with a nice strong hint of mint, hands down one of my new favourites. Its a definite must have for the chocolate-mint lovers out there and a great tea to drink if you’ve got a slight chocolate addiction like I do. No need to add any sweeteners, I find it plenty sweet on its own and unlike some of the other tea blends I have I found it doesn’t get overly bitter if you steep it too long. This has been my go-to tea for the past few mornings, next on my menu is to try out the Hot Lips tea – may try it after I finish my cup of this one.

If any of you have suggestions on similar blends I’m more than open to them. I like this one though its a nice chocolate blend, and smells absolutely delicious. I find it really smells like chocolate-mint.

Bought on a whim and after a suggestion from a friend and I gotta say I love it. Took it to class today and it was exactly what I needed to get through the day. The first few sips have quite a bit of kick to them, but after that it mellows out and is quite tasty. Definitely one I will have to pick up 100 g of before its gone as I’m fairly certain its a winter tea.

EDIT: Bought more today, picked up February’s tea of the month: Hot Lips…so I’m pretty excited to try it!

Lovely tea, very nice and floral. I’m pretty new to the loose leaf teas but this is a really good floral tea. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I do, but I had to go back to Davids and buy more after I went through my sample quickly. You do need to be careful about steeping as it does have a fine line between sweet and bitter. Good morning tea though!
