Having another cup of this so-called tea (seriously cannot see any tea leaves) and I seem to be liking it taste-wise less and less. Perhaps the novelty has worn off.

This is a delicious tea!! I guess this is what you would call a backlogged review as I had my cuppa after lunch this aft. It is a great balance of cinnamon and an apple flavour. Another DT that will be in my stash ongoing – YAY!

Love, love, LOVE this tea!!! There is something just so cozy about it! The smell, taste, even the colour just make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. To me, it tastes like apple crumble. And I love pink so win-win :) IMHO if you are going to try just one tea from DAVIDs, make it this one!!

Not my cup of tea. This tea was a reco from my local Davids. The sweetness that comes through this tea reminds me of artificial sweeteners. Sadly, not even interested in trying a resteep. Will not be repurchasing.

I really like this tea – very yummy! I like that its a blend of green and rooibos teas. This is my first tea of the day during the week at work. I don’t really taste the juniper berries too much but perhaps it’s because of the lemon flavoring. I will always have a stash of this tasty tea at work!

Hmmmm…..not sure about this one. I really, really want to like this milk oolong since it is very accessible. But I am just not getting the creaminess I have heard about. The dry aroma does not come across very creamy – I hope my 50 grams is not stale :(. As for taste, perhaps my novice tea buds need more maturing, but I find it a bit on the bitter side. I may have over steeped so my bad.

Gonna try a second steep of this in a bit. And will watch the timer like a hawk! Fingers crossed yup, yup.

You might be happier with cooler water. I’ve made this one with water at 85C. That said, I’ve also had better Quangzhou from other vendors.

(Although I just checked my notes and found I steeped it at 96C … sigh. Don’t listen to me.)

First, let me share something with you – I LOVE wine. As much as I love tea, to be precise. So hubby and I decided to make our own “on premise” wine. It turned out ah-may-zing!!! No more trips to the LCBO for us to buy wine. It’s way less expensive to make your own, its fun and you come out with a bottle comparable to a $15-$20 dollar bottle at the LCBO.

So now I sip on some of Davids Tea Some Velvet Morning. My liver will thank me I’m sure. I find this one bitter. So I have to add a sweetener to make it right. I’m going to blame the orange peel for that. But it is my go to “detox” the morning after. I have heard good things about dandelion root for liver cleanses. This tea settles my stomach, gives me energy and hydrates. I’m sure there are better teas out there for this kind of thing, but for now I will stick to this one.

Funny – we did not wake up with massive hangovers this morning :) Yet another reason to stick to the homemade wine!
