87 Tasting Notes

Checkmate from DAVIDsTEA

Made this tea and added a few generous spoonsfuls of instant hot chocolate. DEEELICIOUS.

Movie Night from DAVIDsTEA
90

2 perfect spoons of dry leaf, 5-6 minutes (took me a while to get to my cup after my timer went off, 1 tbsp organic unpasteurized honey and a tiny pinch of salt. i have got threw 1/2 a tin (133gr) in a day.

Secret Weapon from DAVIDsTEA
90

Finishing up the last of my tin, I don’t think I have drank this in months. It’s still delicious but I think I’m going to refill my light green “white” DavidsTea tin with Checkmate (or maybe a 2nd tin of cookie dough) and give Secret Weapon a break for a while.

Movie Night from DAVIDsTEA
90

The first time I tried this tea I was radically unimpressed. However, I am so happy I finally came back to it. I can not stop drinking this. I steep it strong with honey and it’s a perfect end of the workday snack. Delicious.
I think I am off to buy a tin of it tomorrow because I literally can not stop wanting it.

Cookie Dough from DAVIDsTEA
82

I have been trying to figure out which teas I always need to have around, ones that are going to be my “standby’s.” More and more I think Cookie Dough, along with Checkmate and Read My Lips are it. (well, also my beloved Pumpkin Chai but that stuff is precious like rubies, for emergencies only)
I am enjoying this with a bit of brown sugar and vanilla almond milk. Also a glass of root beer but that’s neither here nor there.

Orange Blossom from DAVIDsTEA
87

I am in love with this tea lately. It’s my go to iced tea, with honey and a dash of soy milk. However, I’ve been drinking it hot, with sugar and a dash of vanilla almond milk at home in the evening and it’s the most relaxing thing ever.

Cocomint Cream from DAVIDsTEA
100

ohhhhh hello sweet friend how I have missed you… I left my bag of this at my mom and dad’s house at Christmas and we haven’t had it in the store since before I got back. Finally picked up a tin today and it’s just like… liquid love. god i love this tea.

Quangzhou Milk Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
Genmaicha from DAVIDsTEA
90

this was one of only two tins I bought during my 27 tea spree on Saturday. Tins of tea make me feel rich! Which I am not. Becuase I bought 27 teas on Saturday. And then 2 more tins on Sunday…
Anyway. I love this tea. I drink it at work when I’m starting to get hungry and I’m still a ways from lunch time. Tonight i was trying to resist the munchies (so far, still sucessful but it’s only 1am) and i brewed this. Then I got distracted and let it cool to almost room temperature. The kettle was already on for my next cup so I chugged this. Woah, it’s GOOD. I am going to try making iced fruity teas with genmaicha added. I think that’s the reason I love Sleigh Ride as much as I do…

Berry Good (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

this is amazing. it’s got a rich full mouth full, a lucious berry sweetness and just the right amount of tartness.

Exotica from DAVIDsTEA
100

OMG how did it take me so long to fall in love with this tea. I’m drinking it iced, hot and making my rice with it. can’t stop

Rooibos de Provence from DAVIDsTEA
Super Ginger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
100

This is absolutely the ginger tea I have been waiting for my entire life. I am going to buy some fresh lemons tomorrow and try it with lemon juice as well as honey.

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA

This tea doesn’t get as much love from me as it should, by virtue of being super popular. I am always advocating for the underdog lol. However right now a pot of this is the perfect thing I wanted. yummmy.

Chai Guarana from DAVIDsTEA
87

oversteeped this one (i’m siiiick and distracted) and it is way more licoricey than usual. Not unpleasant just different. I think I’ll stick to my five minute steeps from now on.

Honeybush Lemon Ginger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

I am so sick and have been craaving ginger all day, forgetting I had this. I made it strong and steeped it for about 7 minutes. Definitely has me sweating out some of my baddies. I think I’ll be drinking this most of the day tomorrow.

Merry Cranberry from DAVIDsTEA
89

darn. I love this tea and decided to finish it off tonight. Unfortuantely it seems to have been just cranberry left in my bag. Need to remember to shake the bags of these chunkier teas! Oh well. one more out of my cupboard.

Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait from DAVIDsTEA

I had been craving this tea ALL WEEK I hate hibiscus so it was a short 4 minute steep with lots of honey. Tastes like strawbery campinos in hot liquid form. yummy.

Pu'erh Ginger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

Mmmmm. I had this sweetened with honey. Unfortunately I put ice in it to cool it down but it cooled it off too much. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it had been the right temperature, but still, how do I not own this already?

Silk Dragon Jasmine (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

This was my first cup on my first day back in the store after Christmas. I was underslept and grumpy after spending 10 hours on a bus. This tea never fails to cheer me up!

Bear Trap from DAVIDsTEA
95

I have had this iced and sweetened. And liked it. But tonight I’m drinking it hot with a generous squeeze of honey and OH MY GOD. It’s like liquid candy.

Checkmate from DAVIDsTEA

This was the TOTD on the day I started at DT. I tried it, straight, liked it and then just never came back to it. Now I finally got around to the tin from my 24 days of tea. DELICIOUS. I’l going to be having this in store a lot more!

Chocolate Cake from DAVIDsTEA

the first time I had this tea, I tried it really hot and unsweetened and was kind of meh. However, I got a chocolate craving tonight and brewed it a bit strong and sweetened with honey. It was like a cup of chocolate pudding. Oh no, another one I’m going to have to restock and it’s an online exclusive! That means I have to pay full price! harumph

Profile

Bio

Unapologetic DAVIDs Tea fan girl. They quite literally consume like 80% of my waking hours. I’m lucky enough to get them to pay for about 40 of those though! *disclaimer I work for DAVIDs but I am here in a strictly tea geek capacity
I love my job and am a total tea nerd and like to spout off random facts about theanine and talk about rinsing oolongs at parties and occasionally to random people I talk to throughout my day. Most recently a Starbucks barista.
I like friends!
