21 Tasting Notes

Matcha Matsu from DAVIDsTEA
83

Yay! I’m pumped! I bought a small quantity of Matcha Matsu from David’s Tea months ago but it wasn’t until this morning that I figured out how to turn it into a tasty Matcha Latté!! I heated some milk to the recommended temp. In my cup I had a spoonful of honey. I poured the milk over the honey and sifted 1tsp of the green goodness on top. Whisked it all together and then added a couple shakes of cinnamon. Then I whisked some more….it’s GREAT! ………..then my fiancé asked me why I was drinking shrek juice……. Lol ugh!

Big Apple from DAVIDsTEA
87

Very impressed with this tea. I steeped it exactly as the packet suggests and it isn’t at all bitter.
My Mum bought me this tea and it is really yummy. I really don’t like artificial apple flavour but I don’t get any artificial apple flavour from this tea at all. It’s very fresh and fruity! Yummy. :)

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
59

Enjoying my first cup of this fruity blend. I’m not blown away by this. I think I prefer fruity peach teas with a jasmine green base as opposed to the oolong. I just find that it’s missing a layer of flavour. It’s a pleasant cup of tea and it glows in my cup which is nice.

Berry Good (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
40

Hibiscus ruined this for me. My nose never detects my dislike for hibiscus and I thought by the smell that I wouldn’t mind its presence. I’ll know better next time.

Tuo Cha Bonbons from DAVIDsTEA

Today I was in DT and the lady didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked about the pu’erh pressed tea nuggets (not sure what the proper term is)……so I was amazed by this… Needless to say they obviously had none in stock…. Lame :(

Licorice Spice from Organic India
86
All The Raj from DAVIDsTEA

Not one of my favs mainly because I don’t think the chili strings have any place in this tea. That being said, I find the rose to be very balancing and calming.

Peach Tranquility from Teavana

Blended with teavana’s
Phoenix dragon pearls…..perfection :)

Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls from Teavana
82

Nice green tea. Delicious when blended with a fruity herbal tea and I love watching the pearl unravel!

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
42

This “tea” smells great but honestly seems that it would be best suited as a topping for a yogurt breakfast granola deal. When steeped its a bit gritty and not really my “cup of tea”….. Something I would serve to children or non-tea drinkers.

Buddha's Blend from DAVIDsTEA
80

I really like this white tea blend but it is one of the most delicate blends I’ve had. If its over-steeped or steeped in overly hot water it is ultra bitter. Follow the suggested temp. and time and you too will enjoy this delicate tea.

Amaretto from DAVIDsTEA

This tea smells amazing….unfortunately the flavour just isn’t there. I found it to be very bland. Might makea better potpourri

Coconut Chai Green Tea from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
91

Really great medley of flavour in this tea. I especially like the premium quality green tea leaves that are used. This tea is a bit sweet so it’s great if you’re wanting something sweet without eating dessert. Love this tea when it’s cold outside…this warm spice mix really warms you up!

Main Squeeze from DAVIDsTEA
74

This is a great maté! Yummy! Reminds me of summer and tropical places :). Papaya is the main flavour I get with this tea.

North African Mint (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
82

This is a great mint tea. I like the green tea base as opposed to the plain mint herbal tea you often get. The licorice and cardamom add nice layers of flavourful to this tea. I like it best as an after dinner tea to aid in digestion.

Earl Grey Oolong (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
63

Interesting Oolong blend. Strong scent of bergamot and a nice flavourful providing its not over-steeped.

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
59

I had a peach herbal tea and green jasmine blend once and loved it. I haven’t tried this Life long oolong yet, but it’s in my cupboard and I’m just dying to steep it up! I think it will be just as good, if not better than the peach blend I experienced before. Can’t wait :)

Prairie Berry from DAVIDsTEA
97

I’ve never had a Saskatoon berry but this tea is perfection in my cup! The hint of maple flavourful along with the oolong goodness as its base makes this tea great!! I can’t get enough of this tea :)
This is one of the staples in my tea cupboard

Turmeric Snap from DAVIDsTEA
19

Holy TURMERIC!!!! I love turmeric and I love tea, but this is a horrible combo. Great quality turmeric was used; however, it’s just too strong. I couldn’t finish off this tea…

Aloha Pu'erh from DAVIDsTEA
80

Picked up 25g of this gem at DT this afternoon. It’s packed with fruity flavourful and has a smooth base of the pu’reh. I steeped this twice and it was still great the second time around. I suppose this is due to the white chocolate, but I found it to be oily on top and I’d have to say that was my least favorite part of it. Made my glass tea cup look a bit scummy which I wasn’t too keen on.

Brazillionaire from DAVIDsTEA
82

Having my second cup of Brazillionaire at the moment. This is my first ever black tea. I drink loads of oolong, green and white tea and was a bit reluctant to jump into the black teas. It’s delightful! Nutty with undertone of coconut. I’m only slightly blown away by the size of the nuts in this tea. Overall a very flavourful tea experience
