142 Tasting Notes

Dulce & Banana from DAVIDsTEA
58

I bought this because it smelled like banana nut bread in the bag, mmmm… perfect for winter!

It somewhat loses it’s smell after steeping though.

Nice color looks like caramel, I get more Chamomile than anything else, not even the slightest bit sweet…ok gonna try and sweeten it with agave nectar and see what happens.

hmmm still mostly chamomile but now slightly sweet, with a barely there banana taste…disapointing, but great if you’re trying to sleep

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
88

In the bag this tea smells like cookies! I just couldn’t resist trying it.

As it steeps the water turn a very pretty shade of pink, very girlie.
steeped the tea smells pretty much the same as it did dry which is a first for me.

the taste is very nutty, it taste a lot like how it smells, no surprises, if you like the smell you’ll like the taste. i’m getting a little bit of bitterness from the apple and the rest is nuts!

I like this but don’t know that i would buy a whole tin of this.

White Malibu (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
100

I bought this on the recommendation of Jeremy at David’s Tea, I love coconut but i’ve found that most coconut teas aren’t quite meeting my wanted level of cocnuttyness.

the dry leaves smell like coconut but not as strong as i would of liked.

Steeped the smell is much stronger and I’m starting to get excited!

the taste delivers! is perfectly coconut, strong but not sickening, just right!
I’m picturing myself on a beach right now….most definitely going to try spiking this with some rum on the weekend!

Glitter & Gold from DAVIDsTEA
97

this tea is so pretty to look at it makes me feel like a princess!!

The dry leaves definitely smell like cinamon, so soothing.

while steeping the cinamon really shines! my office smells likes i’ve got cinamon buns in the oven!

The tea is shimering! So pretty it feels like i’m watching a lava lamp.

Mmmmm…the taste is really nice, the cinamon isn’t too strong, and the black tea is present with a hint of sweetness at the end.

Ok this is one of my new favorites!

Through the  Grapevine from DAVIDsTEA
96

I love grape juice, or actually grape drink, reminds me of being a kid and my dad would take me to harvey’s and get that grape “juice” they used to have. that and the onion rings were the only reason i would go there…ok getting off topic lol.

The dry leaves smell kind of like that grape juice tasted.

When steeping you really smell the grape but you also get a distinct floral smell too.

The taste is not what i expected, not as grapey as i thought it would be but still very nice, i would definitely do this tea again when i’m in the mood for something sweet.

Note: when spooning this out make sure to try and get a little from each componant, I’ve noticed that the tea tastes a little different each time depending on how much of each ingredient ends up in your cup.

Buttered Rum (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
91

I bought this tea because it was on the top rated David’s tea list, I love coconut rum so hopefully this work out for me, I like the smell of the dry tea but love the smell of the steeping tea, I can already smell the butteryness! ok ok butterryness isn’t a word, but it should be!

Nice dark color, kinda reminds me of spiced rum!

Wow i really taste the rum! it even cleared up my sinuses a little! next thing i get is the vanilla and little bit of coconut. it’s got a buttery feeling in my mouth and throat.

Ok now I see why this is such a popular tea! Well done David’s tea!

Dreamsicle from DAVIDsTEA
78

This tea smells amazing! Just like a creamsicle! As it steeps I get more orange scents, actually it kind of smells like orange skittles taste. you definitely need to like orange for this tea.

the liquid is an orangy color which i think is appropriate, Wow the taste is all about the orange, it the first thing that hits you then you get the creaminess of the chocolate and then a slight hit of bitter there at the end, definitely sweet.

final verdict: Good tea but it smells better than it tastes.

Cocomama Lime from DAVIDsTEA
90

I would like to start by saying that I love coconut and lime and this tea seemed made for me.
I sampled it at the store (David’s tea has a tea of the day) and loved the lime coconut flavor and smell, i bought 25g to try it and see if i like this, warning 25g does not get you a lot of tea it’s very heavy and dense so you get maybe 3 or 4 cups out of this.

upon steeping you really smell the lime!

the lime is what really shines here but you get the black tea as well, the coconut is more in the aftertaste, very smooth and creamy.

Nice pick me up on a day like today, while theres a snow storm outside i can imagine myself on a beach sipping a margarita!

White Tiger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
90

Got this for free when i went to David’s Tea today! Loving the taste very mild and very blueberry, my offfice smells like i was baking a blueberry pie in here! all in all a good white tea

Green Seduction from DAVIDsTEA
78

Loved the smell of this tea in the bag, and it smells even better once steeped, nice and fruity with a touch of bitter, not to sweet. I like this tea, but probably wont go out and buy a whole 100 g of it…

Jessie's Tea from DAVIDsTEA
88

I’d like to start off by saying I hate Lavender, I tend to receive lavender scented things a lot and they just collect dust in my bathroom cupboard, but when i smelled this in the store all I got was Coconut! I love coconut, so to find the smell i hate the most along with coconut one of my favorites was confusing lol. I decided to give this a try and bought a 25g bag to try it out.

Now that it’s steeped the Lavender is coming through full force with a hint of coconut, hmm starting to think this may have been a mistake. OK i’ll try it, waste not want not right?

The taste is definitely more coconut! I like it! it’s got a sweet after taste and pleasant feeling on the tongue smooth almost creamy. The smell is definitely Lavender though, I’m surrounded by it, for those of you who like lavender this is a good choice, I like the coconut flavor of this tea that i may be able to overlook the scent in the air in favor of the taste in my mouth, may buy this again, not sure though.

The Skinny (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
100

I’ve been trying different teas lately but keep coming back to this one, it’s my Fav, making me lose weight and keeping me awake at my desk! love love this tea! the weight loss has slowed a little but i can feel it working anyway.. love this tea!!

Love Tea #7 from DAVIDsTEA
92

I Decided that since today is Valentine’s Day It would be the perfect opportunity to crack open this tea for the first time, In the bag the tea smells amazing, Reminds me of that first whiff you get when you open a box of flavored chocolates. Smells more and more like strawberries as it steeps, I’m actually really enjoying the smell of this. the color is pretty too a sort of orangy red, very appropriate, this tea is really putting me in the valentine’s day spirit! The taste is nice, very strawberry, you get the chocolate more as an afterthought, not too sweet a little bitter from the chocolate, don’t really get the rose petals but they do look pretty in my glass tea bottle. All In all this tea will get you into the spirit of Valentine’s day, I’ll find out tonight about the getting lucky part….

Oh Canada from DAVIDsTEA
86

First time trying this tea and my first impression is it smells like campfire with a hint of maple behind it. Loose in the bag it looks very cute with the little maple leafs. once steeped it takes on the color of maple syrup which is kind of neat and the smells is increased 10 fold! the taste is pleasant, I might add some sugar to this as it’s not as sweet as expected but believe it or not i can feel the maple syrup in the back of my throat! All around good tea, I guess I do like Rooibos tea after all! I don think i would but a whole 100g tin of this but I might spring for another bag come sugar shack time and sweeten it with real maple syrup!

Toasted Walnut from DAVIDsTEA
99

This tea smells great in the bag and looks great steeping in a glass tea bottle, very pretty! It smells very nice once steeped, actually it reminds me of my favorite fruity drink! Loving the mis of coconut and pineapple, definately get the walnut behind that and the green tea taste is there for me, perhaps because i have the type of bottle where the tea remains inside the bottle…I really like this tea…Good job David’s Tea!

The Skinny (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

Still Drinking this tea, Tastes Great! After one month i’ve shrunk off 2 pants sizes!! Yes I bought the exact same pants 2 sizes smaller one month apart!

Still In Love with this tea!! I’ve dropped anther 4 pounds in 2 weeks!!! It really works people!

Vanilla Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
92

Ok so first time trying this tea, what first hit me was the smell, it’s se fragrant and soothing, I can almost smell strawberries for some reason lol. I like the taste and buttery feeling i get in my mouth this tea is great all around! love the way the leaves practically explode in my glass tea bottle very pretty to look at. Also side note, an inexpensive tea because it’s so light on weight you get more quantity than with other teas.

Creme Caramel Rooibos from DAVIDsTEA
75

Ok so reiterating what everyone esle said the smell is to die for! one of my coworkers thought i lit a candle it smells so good, the taste though is a bit disapointing it definately is creamy and a little sweet but i was expecting much more flavor from a davids tea….any way glad i only bought 25 grams this will be something to go to when i need soothing aroma’s around me.

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA
100

Great tea if you like mint chocolate, although very very minty. I liked this tea but don’t see myself reaching for it unless its that time of the month and all i want is chocolate!

Profile

Bio

HI there, I’m a 20 something csr rep. with a sensitive pallet and a love for anything that tastes good.

I’m fairly new to tea, a year ago i was a die hard coffee drinker, and then i got a free glass tea bottle and some blooming tea for christmas….that was the beginning of a new found obsession!

Forget flavored Coffee and all the milk and sugar i had to add to make it drinkable! now i have tea that i can drink straight up without all those extra calories!

I work about 5 minutes away from the David’s Tea head office, so you’ll notice that i mostly review those but i will try and trade with others so that i can get a taste of what else is out there!

Do not hesitate to PM me to discuss trades!

anyway that’s it for me, myself and I.
