drank Egg Noggin' by Steeped Tea

Just a quick tasting note about this one as it’s a sipdown. This one as good as it is, doesn’t seem to hold up well over time. This one is about 1.5 years old as I couldn’t drink it when I was pregnant. Anyways, I love this tea, but it didn’t stand up that well. The eggnog flavour really disappeared from it. So, the little I had left went out.
I will absolutely buy this one again this winter though and enjoy it a lot. I’m sure I’ll drink it fast too as it’s so good.

Yeah, I could imagine the milk ingredients spoiling as well :(

TheKesser

Yeah I thought about that afterwards too.

drank Coco-Lemon Thai by DAVIDsTEA
606 tasting notes

Apparently I have never reviewed this tea before…?

Anyways, I love this one. It’s very well balanced between lemon, coconut and ginger. I absolutely love it. I love the white tea base as it keeps this tea light and refreshing. This wouldn’t have worked if it was black tea.
I’ve been told this would be a good one to steep rice in for stirfrys, which sounds so good.

I’m going to miss this one so much once it’s gone for good. I might actually buy a bit more of it before it’s gone forever. Why, Davidstea, why? Why are you discontinuing so many amazing teas?? OR you only have them seasonally. :(

drank Elderflower Spritz by DAVIDsTEA
606 tasting notes

I had this one a few weeks back with my mom and never logged it so this review may not be the greatest.

Anyways, my mom came over to see my little guy Isaac and she enjoys trying my teas and I figured she’d like this one as it’s a white tea and it’s got flowers in it and she likes floral teas… or at least seems to.
So, we made up two cups and took a few sips… My mom loved it, but me… not so much… I felt like I was drinking a cup of flowers. Forals are not my thing and I know that, but I had to try this one, especially since it came in my spring collection box.

Anyways, I ended up giving this one to my mom. I think she’s enjoying it… I think. Hopefully.

Yeah, I thought I’d like elderflower tea too, but it tastes odd if it’s too strong. What about sweetening this and adding it to some club soda? I’ve had elderflower soda and that’s quite nice if you have sugar to balance the flowers.

To me, this one tasted a little artificial. Was okay iced, but I just used up the sample I was given and that was it.

I had this one earlier this week.

I think though that I overdid it on the coconut that day as I ended up with the worst upset stomach after having this tea. I don’t know what it was exactly and maybe it wasn’t the coconut, but I had a lot of it and that’s why I’m wondering… anyways, will try again and see how it goes. Hoping it’s better the second time.

drank Pom Tango by DAVIDsTEA
606 tasting notes

I remember this one very well from… 2 year ago…? How has it been that long already?

Anyways, I got two samples of this from packages I got (one of which I didn’t tell my hunny about… shhhhhhh!) And I’m using both for this cup of tea. I know it’s more tea than needed, but I don’t care. haha

There is a lot of lovely fruity taste to it, but somehow I’m getting some floral and I don’t know how. There is nothing in this that says floral, so I don’t know if maybe I didn’t clean my basket very well from the last tea? Maybe? Or maybe it was just the fact that I just over did it with the amount of tea?

Either way, I still like it and will bump up my rating slightly. But again, I’m not going to stock up on this one at all. Even though it would probably make a great iced tea, I know I won’t grab for it.

drank Sweet Apple Cider by DAVIDsTEA
606 tasting notes

My goodness! The name of this one doesn’t lie. It’s definitely sweet. I took two sips and decided I would let it cool down and eventually put it in the fridge to chill for tomorrow, ‘cause it’s just too much for me! I know it’ll be a great iced tea though.

I got apple, vanilla, creaminess and sweetness in the tea. Hopefully it’ll be good once chilled.

drank Gingerbread by DAVIDsTEA
606 tasting notes

I think this is my first review of this one. So sad. I’ve had this one for 1.5 years according to label.

Either way, I’m enjoying this one as a latte. It’s very good. I’m definitely getting some good gingerbread flavour but it’s not super strong which is probably user error more than anything. I don’t think my tea to milk ratio was very good tonight. But either way, it is very good and I’m enjoying it a lot. I think that’s how I’m going to drink this one up. And by drink up, I mean how I’m going to enjoy it.

Bio

I’m a 30-something-year-old writer. I finished my first novel last year, which I’m editing this year amongst the world’s craziness and hoping to some day get it published. I’ve also written several short stories that I’m looking to get published someday

I work as a paginator (I do page layout for our local weekly newspaper) and absolutely love it! I’m also an amateur photographer.
I’m the proud mommy of two sweet little boys.
I’m married to an absolute amazing man who “puts up” with my tea obsession.

I became obsessed with tea a few years after high school.I started with Orange Pekoe double double (milk not cream), and peppermint. Since that time, I’ve really opened up to other kinds of tea and I’ve well… I’ve kind of just went nuts since then.

I’m a loose leaf fan, but if there are no other options, I will drink bagged.

I would have to say my favourite kinds of tea are (in no particular order): black, puerh cakes, herbal and matcha.

Green teas still aren’t a favourite for me, but I’m working on it.

I still can’t get myself to like mate teas, as much as I try, I just don’t like their flavour.

I drink tea every single day. I absolutely love it. I can’t image my life without it.

I don’t log every time I drink a tea as I don’t want to spam everyone with tons of duplicate loggings, but I will log when I have a new tea, which happens on a regular basis and when I do a SIPDOWN! :D
