Just made an entire pot of this. There are no words for how delicious this tea is. I can drink it for days on end.

I took a sip of this and my wife asked, “Is it everything you dreamed of?”
Yes. Yes, yes, unequivocally, yes. Very light green tea, without a hint of earthiness or bitterness, with the bergamot that makes Earl Grey delicious, and then the twist of citrus from the orange. Delicious. I think I could drink this all day. So. Very. Good. And hopefully, being a green, it will resteep nicely.
Tried this one in store. First got hit with the lemon, which is tasty but a little sour. This backed off as I kept drinking. The black tea base was slightly bitter. It would be better iced with some sugar, or used in baking, but I don’t think I’ll be stashing any soon.

We had a lilac tree in our backyard when I was growing up, and for about a week each year the entire house and yard would smell exactly like this tea. It was actually a little off-putting at first, but the taste of the jasmine is much more muted than that incredible smell. Otherwise, a very mellow, light green tea base. This is a tea that would be refreshing in the morning and relaxing in the evening. Perfect for sitting out in the garden with.
My favourite straight black so far. Earthy, smoky taste that reminds me of lapsang, but no bitterness and not overpowering. I can see it getting bitter if you oversteep it, and I’m not sure how it’s going to resteep. One steep wonder?
Now if only I could get my mother to switch to this from Red Rose . . .

Exotica by DAVIDsTEA
Not bad. Lemongrass and cardamom are the two dominant tastes here, with something almost sickly sweet hiding in the background – not sure if it’s the coconut or the pineapple. Thought it was licorice at first. There’s a tickle of clove in the aftertaste. It threw me off at first because it brews almost clear, I hadn’t thought it brewed at all. Four minutes and it’s quite strong.
Accidentally made myself sick by drinking too much green tea in rapid succession, and all my peppermint is at work, so I made a cup of the spearmint. Not really a fan. If it helps my stomach I’ll finish the cup, but not going for a resteep.
Another nice tea. Not gonna be my favourite, but I might keep it around. Nice mellow, buttery flavour, very light and airy. I can see it lasting me through all the day if the leaves will resteep nicely. I can’t figure out how if I prefer this or the Tie Kwan Yin.
Mmmmm. Light flavour, even if I’m not getting the flowery taste others have mentioned. Very warming and soothing. Will need a few more drinks before I decide if I’m going to stock up on it or not – but a straight oolong that’s this tasty for this price, I can’t pass up.

Lime Bang by DAVIDsTEA
Tried this in-store today. I still think they boil the water too hot so the green got a little scalded, but otherwise it was tasty! The lime taste is not as bold as the smell – I was expecting to be hit in the mouth with limeade and totally wasn’t. A smooth, earthy drink with a lime tang that isn’t too sweet. Leaves a lingering aftertaste that reminds me of summer and carnivals, but I can’t quite put my finger on exact what it is. May pick up a bag of this, I haven’t quite decided.
Saved the bag, so I think I’ll go for another steep.

The more I drink this tea, the more I like it. Want to venture into new and different green tea experiences.
