71 Tasting Notes

Pure Chai from DAVIDsTEA
67

This one is only ok. It is not as peppery or spicy as I like. I much prefer the chai oolong from teavana.. it tastes more true to chai, and is much more spicy. This one is quite weak.. not the worst.. but definitely not the best.

Mint Julep from DAVIDsTEA

I like this one. I find though that its different every time I have it. The first cup I had iced at davids was really sweet, and minty.. the second cup was more creamy and coconutty.. I like it.. but I am curious as to which is actually the way the blend is supposed to come out.

Pink Passionfruit from DAVIDsTEA

This is the new love of my life. I went through two iced tea packs of it, and part of a tin already, only making single serve ones. I’m trying to be careful so I don’t make myself super sick of it.. but its hard because its so freakin tasty! :) I really like the lightness of this.. it reminds me of pink flamingo but it doesn’t have the tartness (which I think is partially because of the eucalyptus in that blend).. this one, the passionfruit is the main flavour…. which is nice because its not often that a passionfruit is dominant amongst several ingredients. I have only tried this one iced and cold steeped… good both ways :)

Orange & Cream from Della Terra Teas
100

I really, really like this tea. Its a very foggy, crappy, morning in Halifax. Its humid, so I felt like something summery, but still warm. This was the perfect tea to do just that. It kind of tastes like a creamsicle, but a little spicier, which is exactly how I like my creamy fruit teas :)

Kiwi's Big Adventure from DAVIDsTEA
100

I really, really enjoy this tea. I had a baggie of it left over from last spring and made an iced one.. it was delicious :) .. I think went to refill my tin that I had with some coconut oolong but they were out.. so I decided to fill my tin with this. I think my little baggie was not the freshest because the tin was EVEN better! :) I love this one iced… I don’t remember how I felt about it in the spring last year.. but this year, I definitely love it :)

Three Wishes Tea from DAVIDsTEA
100

I really, really, love this tea. To me, it tastes more like a green with some black tea accent… although judging by the description of it, I think its supposed to be opposite. Oh well, either way, I really like this one. It smells like a bag of gummies, but it tastes nice and crisp and clean!.. I love it :)

Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Della Terra Teas
100

I really like this blend. I taste hints of maple, but they aren’t too overwhelming.. it smells like a pineapple upside down cake just out of the oven, and also tastes just like one. I would have liked it a little more had the cherry notes came out a little bit stronger, but nonetheless, its a fantastic tea :)

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
100

I like this tea iced. I only cold steeped it so I don’t think it brought enough of the flavours out but it wasn’t bad, considering I was working all day. I like the peachiness, could live without the nuttiness.

Cocoa Canela from DAVIDsTEA
100

I love cocoa canela. I especially love it iced… its okay hot too, but its a beautiful pick me up on a summer morning. I think how it is sweet with a little bit of spice. I think that’s one of the downfalls of chocolate rocket for me. Its just a little bit too sweet to drink as a go to. I kept getting to go cups last summer of this one and never picked up any for my stash. I went in there on Friday and they had the 25g bags 2 for 5 dollars. I was so excited to see that, so I picked up enough of them to ensure that i’d have a bit on hand to get me through the first couple of weeks of working full time day shifts at eight am!

Pistachio Ice Cream from Butiki Teas

unfortunately.. this flavour did not translate well for me. it was too sickly sweet for me to enjoy :(

Chocolate Almond Coconut from Della Terra Teas
87

this is wonderful :) .. enough said! :) .. the chocolate is light enough that it doesn’t give it that pungent cocoa taste… and the coconut and almond really blend well to balance out the chocolatey flavour!

Green Seduction from DAVIDsTEA
100

I had a cup of this one on earth day, and found a small sample I had of it today.. so I iced it. OMG .. so good iced…. i really overlooked this one for the past three years i’ve been drinking david’s… I always had something else I wanted to try or some reason to not try this one.. but I love it now! so glad I branched out to green teas :)

White Tiger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
41

I tried to like this one… I really did…. I love blueberries, but I found they really got lost in this blend. I don’t know if i’m off of white tea’s or what, but lately not a single one has done it for me… I think its more just my tastes that didn’t like this one because it smelled great, and it looked beautiful!

Lemon Lift Tea Decaffinated from Bigelow
100

YUM! … i like the amount of spiciness in this one.. it reminds me of lemon cake or something.. its fantastic… i let it sit too long though and it got a little bitter when i came back to it, but otherwise, its fantastic :)

Tropicalia from DAVIDsTEA
51

not my favorite. It’s kind of too sickeningly sweet for me. I think i’d prefer it if I had the ability to control the sweetness of it myself.

Grape Oolong from Butiki Teas
100

Yum!, I got three steeps out of this one… and with each steep it got better and better. I found the oolongness of it did not overpower the grape and the grape did not overpower the oolong. Its a great balance. I did one hot steep and two cold steeps and I liked them both ways… this is definitely a tea I will be ordering in the near future :)

Citron Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
100

I love this one. I think I mainly love it because the lemon and the jasmine work to compliment one another. I tried it hot this time, but have been told it makes a really good iced tea! i’m excited for warmer days when I can try it out!

Berry Good (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
100

I really liked this one. I thought it smelled just like 5 berry burst gum ….. the earthiness of the puh’erh and comes across in this and the berry compliments it without overpowering.. I love it!

Aloha Pu'erh from DAVIDsTEA
68

This tea was only okay for me. By the smell of this, and the other one that came out the same day, I felt I was going to love this one and only like ‘berry good’ it turned out opposite and now I have a tin of this… maybe i’ll like it better iced..

Bollywood Chai from DAVIDsTEA
31

this is not one of the better chai’s I have had. I prefer one that is more of a traditional chai. I can’t seem to pinpoint what I dislike about this one.

The Earl's Garden from DAVIDsTEA
Honeydew Mate from DAVIDsTEA
100

This tea is fantastic. I was looking forward to it after I read the description on steepster before it came out. In the bag it smells like a fruity bubble gum almost. I steeped it up hot and it was nice, but from the first sip I knew it was a tea that was meant to be iced. My next cup, I iced, and I was right, it makes for a beautiful iced tea… I am definitely going to get a tin of this guy to keep around for the summer so I can make pitchers of it… I suspect it will be delicious with Malibu melon rum… and cut up melon chunks for a pitcher of cocktails in the dog days of summer :)

Coconut Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
100

I don’t normally like oolong teas all that much. I find them very floral, and strange. I got this one after the sales associate told me it was amazing and to smell it. I instantly loved the creamy sweet smell of it and picked up 50g. I have been drinking it like crazy, as it is the perfect tea for any time of day! I am loving it! I am going to make a pitcher of it iced, and I think I may squeeze some lemon into it.
