The girl behind the counter was not kidding!

This tea is caffinated, without the sugar crash! So in love with this herbal tea. I have been having it each morning and I have not once, not once, experienced that horrible dip in insulin that happens when I drink coffee… we all know that dip, the one that leaves you sleepy, crabby, (and it it is Starbuks, with the shakes and stange sense of paranoia) and despretly needing another cup. This tea offers a consistent low impact buzz all day; also to note, NO Heart palpitations!

Juggle Ju-Ju has a wonderful light papya flavour that allows this tea to remain drinkable as it cools and will definantly work this summer over ice. And it will leave me refreshed instead of feeling heavy and bloated on those extra hot summer days!

Needless to say I really suggest this tea to people who are caffine sensitive but would like a little “pick me up” on Monday morning. Well, anyone who wants a steady caffine flow in their system, without cravings, angst or your Doctor saying: “No”

The kids at the OSC (out of school care) center I work at had a little sip of my iced version of this tea today and are super excited for next week when they get to make sun tea with this delightful concoction!

evil laugh turning children away from pop one sip of herbal tea at a time!

I have only had this tea a few times, and each time I have enjoyed it. The mint is intense and continues to increase in intensity a times it cools.

Great in winter, really just great any time.

I enjoy this one because it does not need any sweetner! Excellent.

I first had this tea as a “take away tea” while purusing the selections at DavidsTea… I was in a rush to get to work and I have a feeling it was over steeped, but this tea has potential…

Second Tasting (yes, I was intrigued enough to purchase a 50g bag to take home): This tea is steeping beside me and I am taken back to Christmas’ baking mint fudge brownies and other spice chocolate delights. I can’t wait for it to cool enough to sip as I expect to be wowed!

Not overly keen, but it is still note worthy enough for me to consider a tin of the stuff the next time I am in the store…

This tea is so fragrant I actually breathed in the leaves and choked on them in the store, after a few giggles of embarassment I filled a small tin and wisked this one home for a taste test.

After following the directions for Black teas from Silk Roads I decided this time to steep the tea as little as possible and see what happens. The tea had a deep amber colour and the scent of fresh mangoes were intense enough to allude to enjoyable sipping… Not so much, I am starting to think that either a) I don’t like black teas or b) I just don’t like them from Silk Roads…

Here’s hoping it is “a” and not “b”

Not my most favourite tea, but for the tea connaisuer this tea is probably more up their alley.

Scent is fabulous! Even after it was steeped I truly enjoyed sitting in my favourite reading chair and sniffing the tea while ignoring the book I was reading at that time. But as for taste, if I wasn’t so against honey and sugar I am sure I could find more enjoyment in this tea if it was steeped less and sweetened with something.

Note: steep time is as suggested by Silk Roads

Ummm, I don’t think this tea was the one I had the day I left with an iced banana tea… When I steeped this one at home today it was nothing but chamomile, which will be great on those days I can’t sleep… but not a tasty tea I will go for – Bleck!

At first sip this tea was worth getting a little to take home.

It all started with rescuing a friend she was having some car trouble and was late getting to an Arbonne party so I picked her up and took her to the party… that is when I discovered some car trouble of my own… After her party and after the rad issue was delt with we popped over to Davids Tea and this was one of the samples for today. OMG! delish! I think it will be come my crutch on days I need a wake-up kick in the pants.

I can’t wait for that morning to arrive because this was a delish sample! And my 50g is sitting in my cupboard teasing me!

This hot raspberry coloured tea is great iced, though I think it would have gotten a better response if I had asked for “a hit of agave” because the first sip reminded me of Cherry Koolaid with no sugar! Bleck! but once the ice started melting and the tea became less concentrated, my opinion of this “take away” tea slowly changed.

I think it will be worth buying a 100g and savouring over ice this summer… and maybe if I steep it myself I might have an improved opinion.

All in all: Not bad, worth a second chance.

Not overly memorable, and was quickly forgotten.

Oh, I should have bought more than 50g! I have already had two glasses and I am considering steaping the rest of the bag to keep in the fridge. I will certianly get back to Davids Tea for another 100g+!!!

I think this tea may have been a miss-purchase, but I will find out when I taste it if it is the Banana tea I had iced one of the times I walked into Davids Tea

I sipped this as a sample when entering Davids Tea for the third time in less than a week and instantly asked for 100g to take home.

This tea is increadible!

With summer weather coming it will be great iced!

This was the first tea I left Davids Tea with, and although I forgot about the tea and ended up over steeping it I was still impressed enough to go back and purchase this tea for my shelf. It has now become a part of my week day morning ritual… Delish!

This was a purchase made under the suggestion of my favourite Tea Gal at David’s tea. I have never tried an oolong, and it took me a while to figure out how to steep it so that I can steep it again (a very expensive learning experience for the frugal at heart).

I was a little put off at how flavourless this tea was despite the “kick you in the face” scent of the leaves, but I really enjoy the colour the saffron leaves give to this tea, the beautiful golden colour is something to look at!

First I bought this tea for my brother, knowing he is a loose leaf tea guru and that he would appriciate the title it was worth the purchase.

Later I went back and purchased 100g (because the free tin is quit a bonus) and have not stopped sipping since. I am NOT a tea person, in fact before this tea the only time I had loose leaf was with my brother. That being said I sincerely hope that this tea is kept either as a seasonal item, or permenant item because when I run out I will be back for more!
