28 Tasting Notes

Vata Ayurvedic from DAVIDsTEA
98

This is a great bedtime tea, it’s a really nice blend of flavours and the chamomile isn’t too overwhelming. I find I DO sleep better with this tea as opposed to other “relaxing” teas, a very good purchase!

Lime Bang from DAVIDsTEA
26

I was so excited to try this tea, followed the instructions exactly and it tasted like…water. Or really weak green tea. I admit I only tried it hot but I’m not too excited to try the iced version. Very disappointing:(

Pink from DAVIDsTEA
33

I’m not a huge fan of chamomile and this tea has plenty of it. The colour was nice, the tea not so much…

Bravissimo from DAVIDsTEA
41

Meh. It tasted a lot like a bunch of other sleepy/cold remedy/relaxing teas I have, nothing special.

Cherry Blossom from DAVIDsTEA
83

One of the better cherry blossom teas I’ve tasted, it’s quite mild and has a lovely aroma. Good hot or cold…

Green & Fruity from DAVIDsTEA
43

I haven’t tried it iced yet but as a hot tea it’s only so so…I love green rooibos but the tea itself was quite overpowered by the fruit.

Strawberry White (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
90

Haven’t tried this iced yet but it smells wonderful and makes a very nice mild hot tea. A keeper!

Pitta Ayurvedic from DAVIDsTEA
43

Meh. I had high hopes for this tea, not only did it smell yummy and have all sorts of fantastic ingredients but it’s supposed to make you less cranky…score! The perfect workplace tea, or so it seemed…it didn’t taste like much and it left me feeling bloated and a little snoozy (but still irritated, haha.)

Fruité Maté from DAVIDsTEA
74

Pretty good tea, it had an odd tomato smell but tasted mildly fruity. I’m intrigued by mate teas and all the apparent health benefits (it even claims to restore your natural hair colour, now we’re getting into dangerous territory!), as far as mate teas go this is one of the better ones I’ve tasted!

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
99

Yum yum yum! Possibly my all time favorite flavoured oolong. Great fresh taste that remained after 2 steepings. Smells and tastes fantastic!

Citron Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
89

I really enjoyed this tea, it was exactly what I was looking for. I had tried a different citron oolong before and wasn’t a fan but this one really stood out as being bright and refreshing. Good choice!

The Earl's Garden from DAVIDsTEA
47

I was not impressed by this tea at all, I love Earl Grey but couldn’t really detect any black tea or bergamot flavours…just a whole lotta berries! Great for a herbal tea but I really needed my morning pick me up. I WILL try what one of the other reviewers suggests and make it iced, that’s a good idea!

Zing Me from DAVIDsTEA
91

Lovely tea, just enough peach and ginger flavoring to be noticeable but not overpowering.

Chai Apricot from Tea Desire
100

I’ve never had anything quite like this, it’s absolutely wonderful. Mild chai flavour with the delicate scent and taste of apricots, I just love it! Can be resteeped at least once.

ginger lime rooibos from Essence Organic Teas
99

This tea smells amazing, looks amazing and tastes (yep, you got it!) amazing either hot or cold. The scent alone makes me want to eat raw tea leaves but that would be bad so I content myself with drinking the tea. Even when it’s stone cold in your tea mug it’s STILL good! Yum! Good for settling upset tummies as well…

peppermint rose white from Essence Organic Teas
80

This is a nice bedtime tea. The rose and lavender are the dominant flavours with a little kick of mint at the end. Very tasty and absolutely beautiful tea with real rosebuds!

Serenitea from Essence Organic Teas
78

A nice tasting tea but nothing extraordinary. Good for relaxing before bedtime!

berry blend white from Essence Organic Teas
53

This is not so much a tea as a fruit infusion. I found very little tea and lots of berries which made for a very tart, pretty pink infusion but didn’t taste remotely like tea! Do not attempt to steep more than once or you will end up with a lovely pale pink cup of water:)

Grapefruit Grey from Acquired Taste Tea Co.
92

I am not a huge fan of black tea (unless it’s mixed with various fruits, flower petals, other teas, flavoring, etc… therefore making it pretty much unrecognizeable as a black tea, haha.) At first glance Grapefruit Grey looked like one of the teas I would normally avoid – plain, dark thin leaves, boring but with just a hint of grapefruit scent. I was curious and had to investigate further. As I don’t like strong bitter tea I only steeped it for about 2 minutes, the lovely grapefruit smell was wafting out and the tea was already a dark golden brown so I gave it a try. YUM! So tasty, this has become my favorite Sunday morning lounging in my PJs tea… You could definitely steep it for another minute or so if you like strong bracing teas and it can be resteeped at least once.

Moonlight Lavender from Steeps
89

Great tea, very relaxing and soothing. Love the smell and the lavender is perfect for bedtime..’

White Pear from Revolution Tea
60

Meh…I’m just not loving it. Thought the first time was a one off and tried steeping for various times based on other people’s recommendations but I have to say the overwhelming flavour in this tea seems to be dust…with a faint trace of pear at the end. Definitely a disappointment

serendipitea from Essence Organic Teas
92

Yum! I’m not usually a black tea fan as I usually find the flavour too strong. This tea is wonderful – not too sweet but not overpoweringly strong either. Like a big warm hug on a cold day:)

jasmine citrus oolong from Essence Organic Teas
77

I still don’t know if I love or hate this tea, further investigation is required. Very unusual taste, fantastic scent!
