drank Red Velvet Cake by DAVIDsTEA

I love this tea. I’ve already repurchased it. It’s sweet and rich, smells (and tastes) strongly of caramel, my boss even noticed the caramel scent when I came close to her with my brewed cup. Enjoyed it tremendously with a dash of half and half. I don’t really get much chocolate out of it. I will have to brew the chocolate cake to compare soon. I can see this one being a regular staple that’s always in stock in my tea cabinet.

I really enjoy this one with a splash of half and half in the morning. Rich and delicious and comforting, especially in this cold weather. This is the only mate from David’s that I anticipate keeping stocked regularly at home and work. By far my favorite from their line of mates.

Sweet and tart all at the same time. You definitely get the lemon flavor, it reminds me of a berry lemonade. I had it warm with a touch of added sugar. I bet it would be fantastic iced in the summer, seems like it would be really refreshing on a warm day.

drank Mango Madness by DAVIDsTEA
15 tasting notes

This tea is definitely tasty, but I get more orange flavor than mango. It’s sweet and tart and fruity. I don’t know if I’ll repurchase just because I don’t think it’s super unique and it’s rather pricey, plus it requires 2 tsp of tea per cup, which makes this an expensive cup of tea. Tastes and smells like an orange herbal to me, but there was a lot of orange rind in my bag.

drank Glitter & Gold by DAVIDsTEA

This tea is shockingly delicious. I didn’t pick it out on my own, but it was suggested to me by the girl working at David’s Tea and I gave it a shot. I was scared by the cinnamon I could smell, but she assured me that it was really sweet and delicious. I tried it with trepidation at home with a splash of half and half in hopes of toning down the cinnamon. It was absolutely divine! Really sweet, like candy, and not at all spicy. Next time I brew it I might even take a sip without milk in it. Definitely going to be a repurchase for me. Side note – as it was brewing it was incredibly beautiful, shimmering and glittering in the infuser. After adding milk the beauty is lost, no more sparkle.

That sounds wonderful! Tea and a show :)

This one is really lovely. I’m enjoying it warm with just a splash of half and half (which is how I like all my hot black teas) and it seems like it would be really good iced in the summer. I will definitely be repurchasing this one. It smells of really rich blueberries and the taste doesn’t disappoint. Sweet (but not overly so) and fruity while still having a strong black tea base flavor. Perfect year round.

drank Honey Bee by DAVIDsTEA

I taste the honey and the lemon but I’m also getting quite the rooibos flavor too which I’m just not loving. I’ll finish the sample but probably will not repurchase.

drank Main Squeeze by DAVIDsTEA

Another one that I wanted to love and just don’t think I’ll be repurchasing. It smells like fresh squeezed orange juice. The taste reminds me of the orange Triaminic that I used to have as a child. It has a very medicinal quality. I will try the rest of the sample iced to see if it’s any better.

drank Banana Dream Pie by DAVIDsTEA

I WANT to love this one. I really do. But it’s just not doing it for me. The Banana Nut Bread was to die for and this is just lackluster. It smells great but doesn’t have a ton of flavor. The first cup I brewed for 6 minutes and was bitter. The second cup I brewed for 5 minutes and didn’t have much flavor. I tried it sweetened and with as well as without milk. Sadly, won’t be repurchasing.

Tried this one this morning. It was ok. Smelled better than it tasted. Tried it on it’s own and then with a little cream and sugar. Liked it better with cream and sugar, but still not my favorite mate. Sort of reminiscent of coffee in scent alone. Not a ton of flavor to it.
