46 Tasting Notes

Santa's Secret from DAVIDsTEA
34

This tea is very spicy. I was expecting something near “Read my lips” but it’s not. The peppermint and the candy canes doesn’t taste much and the spices are the only thing i taste. I don’t know if i’m gonna try again.
The tea blend smells so good, but when you steep it, the sweet smell change a little bit.

Chocolate Orange (Oh Christmas Treat) from DAVIDsTEA
81

Hummm….I like that! In french, that tea is called “Douceur de Noël”. That name is perfect since that tea is sweet and creamy. It was my first pu’erh tea. It makes me feel like Christmas holidays even if it’s a “November Rain” day! :)
It’s a tea for those who like chocolate and/or orange teas.

Northern Lights from DAVIDsTEA

Cold 911 from DAVIDsTEA
89

Wow ! I love the smell of eucalyptus! If you’re sick, that tea will be perfect cause it makes you feel cleaned up and it creates a fresh feeling in your mouth and throat and even in the oeasophagus! lol! I tasted it at the boutique and i bought some!

Love Tea #7 from DAVIDsTEA
62

I had great expectations on the chocolate taste in this tea…I thought i would drink a “Read my lips” with strawberries. In fact, that tea is a little bit bitter and the strawberry/rose petals tastes are too strong. We can’t taste much chocolate. I will try it again to be sure. But i don’t think i will buy it again.

Lime Gelato from DAVIDsTEA
100

I know….again….i have almost 30 teas (or maybe more?!) and i drink this one all the time but…there is nothing i can do, it’s wonderful! lol

Cranberry Pear from DAVIDsTEA
95

I bought this tea yesterday. I love it. It’s very sweet and it’s a good “fight” between cranberries and pears. I love cranberries so this tea is perfect. I’m not very much into pears but when pears is not the same principal ingredient, i like it! This tea smells wonderful too!

If you don’t like much black teas, you may like this one cause it doesn’t taste much as many others black teas. The blending of this tea is lovely too cause of the big cranberries (even if it’s more difficult to adjust your quantities in the teaspoon).

I drank it as a hot tea but next time i think i’ll try it as a iced tea, it’s probably fabulous!

Snow Bunny (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
52

I just tried this new tea from the Winter Collection. I think it’s the first time i drink a “nutty” tea so i’m not so sure. The smell was very appealing to me since i love bananas but i didn’t know that the taste of the nuts would be so strong (much more than the banana). But i’ll definitively give it another try and i’ll update my review! :)

Pom Power from DAVIDsTEA
34

The first time i drank that tea, i loved it. I don’t know what happened cause after 1 or 2 cups, i began to dislike it and now i can’t drink it at all. White teas are not my favourites (there is no white tea that i like for now…) but maybe the steeping isn’t done correctly (too long or water too hot).
The smell of that tea is very fruity and the color is cute. If you like white teas and fruity teas, go for it!

Snow Geisha from Teavana
1

If you’re sick, maybe you could drink it since the smell and the taste is like eating a complete pack of Cherry Halls Cough drops.
I got to say that for now, i don’t like much white tea (i didn’t find any white tea i like but maybe i will one day!)

Three Lemon Green (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
100

This is the second “love at first taste” i found at Davidstea. I got to say that i LOVE every lemon things. And when i smelled that tea, i was like, OMG, it can’t be disgusting! Comfort food exists but comfort teas too and Three Lemon Green is one of my comfort teas. Most of the time, i drink it as a hot tea (in fact i don’t remember if i ever taste it as an iced tea…).
I bought a large quantity of it when one night, Davidstea Facebook page added a big online promotion….1$ for 40g for a limited time (but all the bags you want). The next morning, there was no bag available so i was lucky!

Pineapple Kona Pop! from Teavana
97

This is my favourite tea by Teavana (for now!!!). My friend bought it in Boston cause we don’t have Teavana’s in Quebec.
I like to drink it as a iced tea, the taste is very sweet, i can drink it instead of a very sweet and caloric juice. Indeed, you got to love pineapples! That tea makes me feel as i was in Hawaii! haha! :)
Even if the steeping instructions are 5-7 minutes, i steep it 8 minutes and more so the taste is stronger.

Hot Toboggan (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
85

Oh….there is a new tea that i like in town! It’s the 2nd 2011 Winter Collection Tea by Davidstea that i taste (the first was Chocolate Chili Chai) and i like it so much! The smell is lovely, and the taste is too!
If you’re craving for apple pie or apple pieces with caramel dip with a cinnamon twirl, you’re gonna love this one!

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
52

I tried this tea at the Trois-Rivières DAVIDsTEA boutique.
I can’t say i dislike this tea, but i can’t say that i love it. It was okay to taste it but i don’t think i’m gonna buy some.
I had some expectations on this new tea cause everybody was telling me this tea was so special and so spicy. Finally, it wasn’t spicy as i expected. The chocolate is interesting.
I like to drink tea when it’s very hot ot very cold. I don’t like much “just warm” tea and this sample was only just warm. Maybe i’ll taste it again but with very hot water…

Goji Pop from DAVIDsTEA
100

This is the first tea i bought and i loved it.

It’s a Wonderful iced tea and it’s very good too as a hot tea. It’s a fruity tea with a little sour taste (sour but damn good). This tea is my new “juice”. I’m a big Pepsi drinker but since i discovered aromatised teas, i’m not drinking much colas.

The only negative point i can say (and i’m not sure if it’s in my head or what) is that i think that when you have that tea for a long time in your cup, it tasted weird and the “texture” is different. (Note: with my Contigo Cup, AKA the best cup i never had, my tea can stay hot for at least 4 hours).

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA
100

Read my Lips is on my Top 3 this week. I think that my 100g will be finished very soon.
That tea is my first “chocolate tea”. I wasn’t sure at first (even if it was a favourite of every DAVIDsTEA fan…), the description wasn’t appealing to me…And plus, i didn’t like every black tea i tried before so i thought black tea wasn’t for me.
Well, i don’t like to say that but…..I WAS WRONG!
I love this tea! It tastes like chocolate, mint, candy, all of this in the same cup. It’s the Perfect cup to drink in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening in front of the fireplace! :)

Lime Gelato from DAVIDsTEA
100

I’m so in love with that tea…it tastes like heaven! These days, it’s on my Top 3! I drink at least one cup every day! If you feel the urge to eat some ice cream, this tea would be the best for you.

That tea is so sweet! But be careful with the infusion (too hot water or too long infusion can create a little aftertaste cause of the green tea leaves).

And by the way, the first time i smelled that tea, i decided that it didn’t smell as good as La La Lemon and i didn’t buy it. Thanks to my friend Oreole21 who convinced me to try it! Haha!

Bear Trap from DAVIDsTEA
67

I can’t decide right now if i like it or not. First cups i drank were good but i didn’t like the last ones and i don’t know why. This tea is really fruity so maybe i’m less into fruits these days. I tasted it hot and iced.

For those who like berries and stuff like that, you got to try it.

Rooibos de Provence from DAVIDsTEA
7

I don’t like this tea aftertaste and it taste too much flowers.
I tasted that tea (hot) in a DAVIDsTEA boutique.
Je n’aime pas l’arrière-goût de ce thé, ça goûte trop les fleurs.
J’ai goûté ce thé dans une boutique Davidstea (chaud).

Copabanana from DAVIDsTEA
78

I tasted it in a DAVIDsTEA boutique. I like it but it’s very sweet so i don’t know if i would like a complete cup of it. I should try it again (hot and iced tea).

J’ai goûté ce thé dans une boutique DAVIDsTEA sur Mont-Royal à Montréal. C’est bon mais c’est très sucré alors je ne sais pas si j’apprécierais une tasse complète et si ça me tomberait sur le coeur. Je devrais le réessayer en chaud mais aussi en thé glacé.

Chicory Dickory Dock (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
20

I tasted it in a Davidstea boutique but i didn’t like it much.

J’ai goûté ce thé à une boutique Davidstea mais je ne l’ai pas aimé vraiment.

Carrot Cake from DAVIDsTEA
51

Not bad, but not so good too. I think i don’t like cake tasting tea (makes me feel like i’m eating liquid cake). Carrot cake’s fan should try it although! I tasted it at a DAVIDsTEA store!

Pas mauvais mais pas super bon non plus. Je crois que je n’aime pas beaucoup les thés à saveur de gâteau, je n’aime pas la sensation de manger du gâteau liquéfié. Ce thé est tout de même à essayer pour les amateurs de gâteaux aux carottes, on ne sait jamais! :)
J’ai goûté ce thé au DAVIDsTea (thé du jour).
