drank Chamomile Nights by Stash Tea

Bought this on sale to hold me over until I get some Tazo Calm and boy, do I ever regret it. Disgusting. No flavor and what little it has tastes fake. This won’t be in my cupboard for much longer.

drank Decaf Pumpkin Spice by Stash Tea

Not what I was hoping for. Like others have said, I was honestly hoping for a liquid pumpkin pie type of flavor and got nothing close. The spices are definitely there but they go down the throat harsh. This has been sitting in my cupboard for over a year now and I haven’t had more than a few bags – chances are it’ll end up in the trash eventually since I’ve found the incredible world of loose leaf tea.

drank Calm Chamomile by Tazo

I get this whenever I go to Starbucks and I have to say it’s the best tasting chamomile I’ve had yet. Deliciously apply and soothing with an almost floral taste.

drank Chocolate Orange by DAVIDsTEA
97 tasting notes

This is the perfect tea to end a meal. It tastes to me almost exactly like Terry’s Chocolate Orange…what used to be my favourite chocolate that I can no longer have. Brewed my dad a cup (somewhat regretfully as I’m greedy and want it all to myself :P….shhh) and he told me the same. This was my first real purchase of tea from DavidsTea and I’m not disappointed in the slightest.

drank Pure Chai by DAVIDsTEA

Smooth, simple chai. I’m a huge chai fan and this is my go-to tea when I’m in a chai mood. Received this on request from a friend who was on a trip and couldn’t thank him enough after tasting it!

Originally tried this at a friend’s house straight up and didn’t really care for it. On a whim I decided to purchase it for myself and added sweetener. Man, is this ever good! It has a wonderful dark chocolate musky taste with a subtle nuttiness from the coconut. I was able to steep the leaves twice. What a treat!

drank Cha Ven Thai tea by Teavana
97 tasting notes

My absolute favourite tea. I recently received it for Christmas and it’s really gotten me into drinking tea regularly. I’ll probably have to go back and stock up…I literally cannot stop drinking the stuff! Haven’t tried it iced yet but I’ve read it’s wonderful that way as well.

Bio

My name is Yvonne. I’m 21 and live in a snowy Canadian wasteland known as Manitoba.

I’m relatively new to the loose tea world, although I used to drink generic Red Rose tea constantly. A friend introduced me to a Teavana tea one chilly winter and I got myself slightly intrigued. Went to purchase it myself, used shoddy equipment to prepare it, and was discouraged.

Christmas 2013 rolled around, and despite having an awful holiday for other reasons, I received some of Teavana’s Cha Yen Thai as a gift after asking for chai tea. I went out and bought a proper infuser cup and was instantly hooked. Now my tea collection is steadily growing! I’m obsessed!

I like:
Dessert teas, black teas, oolong, rooibos, pu’erh, mate, chai, chamomile, chocolate, coconut, cinnamon, pineapple, tropical mixes, nutty, sweet, complex flavours, indulgent flavours

I do NOT like:
Green teas, herbal teas, white teas, teas too overbearing with fruit, pure tisane, cloyingly sweet teas, hibiscus, peanuts, burning my mouth

I am lactose intolerant (pretty severely, actually – I do not consume any dairy product) but I find that the miniscule amounts of dairy found in some teas don’t bother me for the most part.

100 – My absolute favourite teas. Without them, I will cry salty tears of despair.

99 – 95 – Cream of the crop, although missing SOMETHING to make them a perfect favourite. Not something I couldn’t possibly live without, but pretty darn close. Lots of teas in this category tend to reach 100 eventually.

95 – 75 – Yummy, but if it disappeared tomorrow I’d quietly mourn it for about 15 minutes and move on to a favourite. Leaves something to be desired.

75 – 50 – Passable, but not by much. Something I’d really have to be in the mood for to drink.

50 and lower – Nope nope nope. Not for me. Probably couldn’t or had a hard time finishing the cuppa. Doooown the sink.
