DAVIDsTEA

Mint Chocolate Rooibos, is similar to Read my Lips and Santa’s Secret.

They all are pretty much all chocolate mint teas .This tea, is way more minty and more chocolaty than the other two. YUM. I love it, especially before bed, since it has no caffeine.

It’s relaxing and freshens your breath ;) Just kidding, but it does leave a little minty taste in your mouth.

I would definitely recommend this tea to anyone, it is one of my favorites!

Had this one recommended to me by one of employees at my DT – kudos to her, because I LOVED this one. I had milk added to my to-go cup (as I generally do with most of my black teas) and mmmm, this was a nice treat on a fall afternoon. I think I like coconut in my teas provided it is subtle, as I got with this cup. And vanilla is also becoming a favourite of mine!

Genmaicha is another one of those teas that you have to brew properly to get the full experience of its wonderful-ness. It needs a lot of patience and TLC.

They key here is really to read the brewing instructions. It says to steep in 87C water. So that’s not the temperature of the water that comes out of your kettle. Let the water cool for 4 or 5 minutes, then steep the tea for another 4-5 minutes only. If you don’t do this, the tea will become astringent and gross (I know this from personal experience).

The brown rice gives it a nice toasted flavor that goes great with the green tea :) It is really popular in Japan and you can find it pretty much any sushi restaurant. I’d really recommend it!

Day #13 of tea!

Another oldie, but goodie! Keeping my rating for this one the same as before… The taste is exactly as I remember it, and that’s nice to experience on a lazy Sunday. :)

Sampled this today at my local DT… And again, I have another flavoured chai blend that I like! Not as good as Pumpkin Chai, but it is one I will definitely be trying again.

Forever Nuts is definitely wayyyyy up there on my personal list of all time favorite teas. I bought this tea in the set called “David’s Top 3"

It was super delicious!

You would never expect this tea to be PINK when you steep it! WHATT PIIINKKK!?!?! NO WAY. It’s apparently because of the beetroot in it.

Anyways, I was expecting there to be more types of nuts in it (there’s only almonds) but it is still delicious, and there is the perfect amount of cinnamon and it just pulls everything together in this satisfying tea :)

Yes, Drinking this made me very happy. Mainly because I have found a tea that is similar to Long Life Oolong. However, it is not as peachy or fruity. The oolong taste is more prominent and deep in this one, so that is really the only difference between the two.

Mmmmm yes, I’m sure I will sleep well tonight after drinking Organic Sweet Dreams!

The taste is similar to that of chamomile tea and flowers (if that makes any sense). It reminds me of fennel tea. Yum :)

Drinking it makes me feel warm and relaxed and makes me look forward to bedtime even more ;)

Being a rooibos tea, I (thought I) pretty much knew what Oh Canada! was going to taste like before I tried it.I was pleasantly surprised when I finally did taste it. The maple syrup taste just takes over! It’s great!

They (whoever is the creator of this tea) did a great job and successfully pulled off the perfect maple syrup flavor! My mom is the biggest connoisseur of maple syrup that I know, and even she was satisfied with this tea. So if you are feeling especially patriotic one day, or you just want a sweet fix, drink up!

I have a bone to pick with whoever translated the name of this tea from “Oh Canada!” to “Cabane a Sucre”. The logic….does not exist.

I had this tea again today, and I have to up my rating for it. Previously, I didn’t not appreciate the coffee taste, and I have since grown to like coffee in certain forms. It certainly is not my go to mate, nor my go-to coffee tea (those would be Electric Lemonade and Espresso Yourself, respectively), but I like this far better now. It does have a lot going on, and I think maybe the removal of an ingredient or two wouldn’t hurt, but this was a pleasant cup this time.

I decided to try this just so say that I did – I am really not a coffee fan, but they were sampling this at my local DT. Thankfully my sample was small enough that only a hint of the coffee flavour came through, but it was enough to wrinkle my nose nonetheless.

Coco Chai Rooibos has a full and satisfying chai flavor.. Also, this tea has cocoa in it, so that really completes it and compliments the chai! :) I bought this tea when I bought the David’s Top 3 set in a certain promotion. I totally get why this is a best seller, it’s fantastic and chai is very popular lately.

Saigon Chai is very good, however it does not have that intense chai flavor that I was hoping for. This makes it have a kind if “empty taste.” The lady in the store told me that this is Oprah Winfrey’s favorite tea!

So just what do they mean by “cream”? I mean we have cream of wheat and cream of tartar, cream of broccoli, cream if chicken, cream of mushroom…. the list goes on!

Here, I think the added vanilla gives it the creamy taste. Yes, it also has a very strong scent. I can smell it from across the room! The familiar taste of classic Earl Grey is certainly noticeable, but the added vanilla is certainly a unique touch that brings everything together!

I’ve had tea a type of dragon pearl tea before, when I was young and naive in the tea-domain. So the taste is quite familiar to me, however, there is something that I didn’t notice before (that I noticed this time around): THOSE TINY-LITTLE-ITTY-BITTY PEARLS EXPAND LIKE 1234567890 TIMES WHEN YOU STEEP THEM OMG!!!It’s like nothing I have ever experienced before in a tea.

As for the taste, it is kind of metal-y (?). I can tell that this is really high quality tea. the dragon pearl tea that I had before, was not this rich and smooth.

I recommend you all trying it ;) Your mind will be baffled when you see the pearls expand!

Buddha’s Blend is a blend of white and green tea and has hibiscus blossoms and jasmine pearls in it! OMG FLOWERSSS YAY!!!

I first tried this tea when it was the tea of the day, and now I am sipping it peacefully in my own home, in my little Chinese tea cups! I have now experienced something today, that I did not get to when I tried it in the store, THE FLOWERSSS!

The flowers amaze me when I steep it. I put one in and it was super tine, and now, it is like 5 times that size, it’s beautiful!

The main thing I taste is the white tea and there is a background taste that is kind of fruity. It would most likely be good cold too!

Organic North African Mint is one of those teas that I find is best in small amounts, very small amounts. On St Patrick’s day I got a cup of it for free because I was wearing green, but it was too much for me to handle. It was intense and medicine-like. It was too over whelming for me to drink. But now, I brewed a tiny amount (3 ounces) and I’m happily drinking it!

Basically, the taste is a minty-medicinal-anise flavor with a hint of fennel. Honestly there is just too much going on in this tea for my liking. So like I said, small amounts!

David’s Organic Breakfast is a blend of black teas from Yunnan, Ceylon and Darjeeling. It is such an amazing blend, it will put you in a good mood in the morning and put a smile on your face. That’s what mornings are supposed to be like right?

This tea will become astringent and bitter if you let it steep too long, so make sure you’re alert enough in the morning to brew this perfect breakfast blend properly and rightfully to the perfection that it is.

it tastes like classic green tea. I guess that is the goal right? I love green tea. I like it because it is clean, plain and rustic, not a whole mish mash of overwhelming flavors, so it’s good when you are just looking to relax a bit (but not too much because there is some caffeine in it).

I must say, it smells like a sweet lime, incredibly satisfying and inviting. However I was a little disappointed that my tea is not bursting with this flavor. It is rather bland and the lime is mainly in the after taste. But don’t get me wrong, this tea is really good and a bit creamy. I don’t even know how it’s possible for straight tea to be creamy, but this one is!

Tasty, tasty fall tea. Not one my “BEST TEA EVVAAAAR” but very nice.

Also resteeps fairly well, adding 30secs to the time.

There is an INTENSE strawberry flavor that will knock your socks off! It’s not like that fake or medicinal strawberry taste; it’s the real thing. I almost feel like I’m drinking strawberry juice or eating strawberry ice cream or sorbet or even a smoothie!

It is such a delicious tea, and the rhubarb really complete it! It is a slight rhubarb taste, but definitely noticeable and it calms down the strawberry flavor
