Oh and how much tea was in the tins in the advent calendar?

Small
Sweet Canadian said 2012-11-01 12:11:31 -0400

Enough for 2 pots for me last year, but I will probably use more tea per cup this year.

Yeah, my roomie and I stretched the tea pretty far last year, but then realized we had been way underleafing. I think there’s enough for 3-4 cups, depending on how much tea is required. (I think there was maybe ~4tsp in each tin?)

DaisyChubb said 2012-11-02 13:42:25 -0400

Yeah it was a good amount! Most tins I got 2 sessions out of – I used half the tin in my perfect mug but resteeped 2-3 times because I had so much leaf, so I could have definitely got more cups, I was just lazy. woo!

they total weight of the tea in the calenders is like 240g i think. so 10g/tea.

Just saw the new mugs advertised on their website. Hoping they will offer a promotional pricing :)

That would be pretty sweet. Does DT ever have any sales though?

Pretty sure I saw someone comment a few days ago they recently had a 2 for $30 deal?

Small
Uniquity said 2012-11-01 12:28:08 -0400

They do 2 for $30 on the Perfect Mugs every couple months. I feel like that promo just ended though so it could be a while. I’ve noticed they do more sales/specials lately than before.

Online or in store?

Cavocorax said 2012-11-01 14:23:06 -0400

Thanks! Guess I’m getting too distracted by the tea wall to notice the rest. :)

Small
Sweet Canadian said 2012-11-01 14:38:12 -0400

They still have 2 for 30 in store as of today!

Small
momo said 2012-11-01 23:38:22 -0400

Is it still regular price if you only buy one? I’m assuming that’s why it’s not online anymore, you could buy just one at $15 and get the deal.

Now I have not idea what to do? I was going to place an order for the winter collection but now I think I might wait until the Advent Calendar comes out next week! I am just coming off of a horrible experience with Teavana so DT has been a breath of fresh air!

Just got back from David’s Tea! The new mugs are super cute! And all the winter teas smell amazing. I picked up a tin of Cocomint Cream, Vanilla Orchid, and Alpine Punch- I can’t wait to try them :) Unfortunately I couldn’t get Cookie Dough or Banana Dream Pie, as neither of them are vegan, but they both smelled delicious!

The sales associate said that the collectible tins of Santa’s Secret, Sleigh Ride, and Chocolate Chili Chai will be available next week (Nov. 7th), as well as the Advent Calendars.

Please tell me I’m not the only one this excited by all their new teas?!

JoyofSteeping said 2012-11-01 12:51:55 -0400

nope!! I am soooo excited!!! Wish I had a store close enough I’d be there now

Small
Cavocorax said 2012-11-01 14:22:43 -0400

I MAY have to come up with a reason to hit the mall so I can peek. I sorta promised not to buy new tea for a bit, but… I could get a take home cup!

This promise isn’t gonna last. Who am I fooling? :P

Invader Zim said 2012-11-01 18:02:27 -0400

How is the cocomint cream? I was thinking about getting that one!

maddiec said 2012-11-01 21:52:27 -0400

I think it’s actually quite good. Not what I was expecting it to taste like, but it’s still yummy :) The flavours don’t overpower each other- there’s a nice blend of both the coconut and the mint. I might be a little biased though because I absolutely love anything with mint in it ;)

Small
Invader Zim said 2012-11-02 11:21:33 -0400

That’s quite alright, I love mint too and I love coconut, but I know not all coconut blends are created equal.

Sweet Canadian said 2012-11-02 10:07:43 -0400

Sare my friend and I did the 2 for 30 together in store and I got the eggnog snowflake one. They are both super cute. And runreadtea the red branch one is the one available Nov 7, the others are available now.

Sare said 2012-11-02 10:29:16 -0400

yea i wish they had that sale online :( I really wanted to Teal mug too but Its ok Ill wait for free shipping or something lol. I LOVE snowflakes so this is the Perfect mug for me it took me 10 mins to choose eggnog or Peppermint and i went with peppermint cues that’s my fav around the holidays!

Small
Sweet Canadian said 2012-11-02 14:34:15 -0400

Both of them were cute, I was debating too but I wanted one with a different colour inside (the white one is peppermint inside, the peppermint one is white inside) and so I went for the eggnog :)

Has anyone see the Winter Collection box in person? I’m wondering the size and also if the box opens up or has a cover that slides off like the fall collection. I’d like to make sure it’s the same size as my other Davids box.

THANKS!

Teavangelical said 2012-11-05 00:45:16 -0500

darby, it’s the exact same box as the fall collection.

THANKS!!!! I love the other box better as it has a magnetic top closure.

Does anyone know whether the Cocomint Cream have stronger coconut notes in the steeped tea compared to the dry loose leaf? I smelled it in the store the other day, but I only seemed to pick up mint from it.

Do you know if they are going to do the advent calendar again this year, and if so does anyone know when it is going to be available in stores in Canada?

Small
Sweet Canadian said 2012-11-04 13:43:40 -0500

November 7th, and it will be a similar set up as last year.

Let the countdown begin :)

Getting close now! I hope the website is updated soon. Also, I’ll be disappointed if it’s not in stock tomorrow in-store.
