Mmmmm this smells amazing dry! Oh my it smells even better after steeping!! This tea is so light and relaxing. All the flavours go so well together. First I taste the rose and ginger, then the basil with sage perhaps. After that refreshing lemon and I think a hint of berries? So many flavours to pick apart yummy!!! I’m sad I only got a sample of this. This is going on my next order list :)

Half way through my cup I added honey. Definitely brought out the roses and sage (I think sage). It tastes really good but I actually prefer this tea with out the honey.

Dry this one smells of delicious chocolate with a hint of peppermint. Steeped it still smells of chocolate and peppermint but the peppermint smell is stronger then when dry. At first it tastes of chocolate and peppermint. The peppermint slowly gets stronger and stronger till swallowing. After you sallow, the chocolate starts to get stronger in the after taste and the peppermint dies down a bit. I get a tiny hint of peppercorn, I don’t think there were any peppercorns in this spoon. I usually don’t like anything that is chocolate and mint together, but for some reason I really like this tea. Perhaps because the peppermint isn’t completely over powering the chocolate. Not exactly sure what it is but this tea is yummy and more then likely a repurchase :)

Dry this tea is so strong, so much ginger and pepper! There were lots of red and black peppercorns in my bag. At first I took a bit too strong of a smell, definitely made my eyes water and nose burn haha. Steeped it smells less strong, but still lots of ginger. At first it tastes like ginger, ginger and more ginger with a hint of pepper. The pepper gets stronger in the after taste. Gives some nice heat to the back of my throat. This tea definitely settles my tummy! Loving this tea, so good!

Haven’t been sleeping well, hopefully this helps a bit. At first I taste lemon and chamomile with a hint of orange. The licorice isn’t too strong, thankfully. The after taste has a hint of floral which I like and the orange is a bit strong in the after taste as well. I’m finding all chamomile teas are starting to taste the same lately.

Feeling a bit under the weather today. At first I taste chamomile, nice and creamy, with a touch of mint. Then I can taste the rose hips and just a hint of orange. I am very happy I don’t taste the licorice, I hate licorice. I really like this tea, definitely the first tea I grab when I don’t feel well.

The flavour of this tea isn’t my favourite but it sure does help my tummy. It tastes almost creamy and thick to me with mint. Wish the mint was a bit stronger. Don’t really care for the catnip in it but my kitty is best friends with me whenever I make this tea haha. It does help with my stomach pains though, which are quite often. I have celiac disease so this tea is a must have. The taste has been growing on me though, perhaps because I feel so good after. If you suffer with stomach pains I would definitely give it a try.

drank Long Life Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

This tea is light and refreshing. First I taste apricot with a hint of almonds. Then as you swallow it taste lightly floral, and peach and apricot together. I kind of taste something spicy in there too but not sure what… I love the dance between apricot and peach. One second I taste peach the other apricot. Mmm with each taste I like it more ad more.

drank Coffee Pu'erh by DAVIDsTEA
52 tasting notes

I received this one as a sample, but since I don’t like coffee my boyfriend is going to taste and rate it :)

At first it tastes like tea, then has a coffee after taste. It tastes good but doesn’t fill my coffee fix.

Sorry for the brief description but that was the most I could get out of him haha :) he tried. This won’t be a repurchase for me just because I don’t like coffee and I can’t see my Boyfriend drinking it often.

Steeped this one smells just like buttered rum to me. A bit sweet, with vanilla, and caramel.
At first this one tastes mostly black tea and coconut, then as you swallow it slowly turns into vanilla. Mmmm the vanilla taste is amazing! Then as you swallow the vanilla flavour turns into caramel, and a bit of a peppery flavour. The after taste is buttered rum. So good! Loving this tea :)

drank Cranberry Pear by DAVIDsTEA
52 tasting notes

This tea doesn’t really do anything for me. At first it tastes like black tea with a touch of apple. Then as you swallow, I get I think the cranberry.. The after taste is mostly just the black tea and apple, but I think I can taste the pear in there. Overall this tea is disappointing. For being called cranberry and pear it just doesn’t work. I can’t even taste pear really and the cranberry is just a hint. This is not a repurchase for me.

I love to drink tea ALL the time :) It is my escape from reality and the stresses of life in order to relax and keep a peaceful and clear mind. I have tried white, green, black, oolong, rooibos, pu’erh and herbal teas.

Also I am Celiac and am able to only drink Gluten free teas. I especially love any tea that calms my tummy.
