Honeybee from DAVIDsTEA

First, back off vegan police! There’s is no honey in Honeybee, so you can put your judgement down and back away. Bunch of judgy McJudgersons…

Second, I don’t know if I dig this tea. I have an entire tin of it because the 50g bag wasn’t available when I placed my uber DAVIDs order. Maybe I’ll give it a go iced and see if I like the flavor more that way. I’ll reserve my numerical rating until I give it one more chance. Also, Honeybee didn’t give me the jolt of energy I’ve come to expect from DAVID’s matés. Tea problems, man!

This one took a couple attempts for me, but I came to really like it. Hopefully it’ll grow on you!

I tired it about 4 times and I really don’t like it. So much that I left my bag at my aunts house. She offered it to me when I was there today and I drank tea out of her Keurig instead that’s how much I didn’t like it. LOL.

Have you tried it iced? Maybe it’s no longer iced tea season, but I looooved it iced. Maybe, just maybe?

I adore this tea! It is my go to tea when I need some energy for work. A lot of people warn about letting it steep too long, could that be part of the problem?

Also, if that vegan police comment is a reference to Scott Pilgrim, you’re my new BFFE.

It’s not just mate in the blend; there’s a lot of honeybush, too. It hasn’t ot the same punch as Jumpy Monkey.

Cattibrie Ha! I drank Keurig tea the other night and it was terrible. I think that my host may have neglected to rise the machine before she brewed my tea :/

DaisyCubb I miss you! Yes, I will try it iced because it was 100 degrees in LA just the other day. It’s almost always iced tea weather up in here :)

ailing of tea I have a new BFFE!!!! My vegan police reference is indeed a Scott Pligrim reference, but they exists in a less hilarious real life form too. They’re watching us right now…

Michelle Butler Hallet I can’t drink the Jumpy Monkey, but I am a shameless Jungle Ju Ju and CHOCOLATE ROCKET fan. Do I need to stop comparing my maté kidlets and start loving them individually? I’ll do my best :)

I miss you too!
haha I am craving iced tea weather even though I had a few months of it. I’m such a cold wimp, why do I live in Saskatchewan? D:

Come here for a visit! We are whining because our toes were cold in the morning, then it hit 85 degrees F.

Bio

I’m an animal loving vegan foodie, and a card carrying tea fanatic! Didn’t you get your card?

I typically drink my black tea with a splash of almond or coconut cream and a dash of turbinado sugar or stevia. My green teas I typically drink straight, and the same goes for most of my other teas with an occasional exception. I live on the edge!

Please check out my website Cookin’ Vegan at www.cookinvegan.com if you’re hungry.

I’m also a bit of a knitwit. I have an Etsy shop where I sell pretty little knitted and knitting accessories called Baubles 4 Knitwits at www.Baubles4Knitwits.etsy.com.
