10 Tasting Notes

Vanilla Oolong from DAVIDsTEA

A solid oolong, with a nice, not overwhelming vanilla flavour. Not overly sweet.

Coffee Pu'erh from DAVIDsTEA
64

This tea brews into a very dark, almost opaque liquid. It tastes like earthy, well, coffee. Add a little bit of almond milk, and it’s a pretty good replacement for the real deal.

Blood Orange Pu'erh (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
88

I had a cup of this this afternoon. It has a beautiful red colour, and the heavy flavour of orange oil. Pu’erh is the base flavour, and it’s perfect with the bright oranges.

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
80

I really like this tea – the oolong flavour could be stronger, but it has a great peachy flavour, with apricot and almonds underneath. Would be a good iced tea, if it weren’t -15.

I would use a bit more tea and steep slightly longer than recommended.

Mango Diablo from DAVIDsTEA
83

I would love to try this iced. It’s pleasantly fruity, with a subtle, lingering heat.

Berry Good (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
76

This tea is nice, reminiscent of the company’s Bear Trap with a hint of pu’erh earthiness underneath. I would steep longer than the maximum recommended 7 minutes.

Super Ginger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
90

This super hot ginger tea is perfect for cold stormy days when you just don’t want to go outside.

Chocolate Orange (Oh Christmas Treat) from DAVIDsTEA
84

I really enjoy this tea. It’s like a Terry’s Chocolate Orange overlaid with a mild pu’erh. The earthiness and orange are perfect together. The brew is dark, and just slightly reddish brown.

Aloha Pu'erh from DAVIDsTEA
15

Dry leaves smelled like fish, brewed tea also tasted fishy. Oily film when brewed.

I was really disappointed in this tea. I love pu’erh, and was excited for this new flavour that I got as part of David’s new pu’erh collection. I am glad I didn’t have more than the sample size or I would have returned it.

Golden Pu-erh from DAVIDsTEA
77

This tea is terrific. It tastes mildly of mushrooms and disturbed earth. A nice, accessible pu’erh for the collection.
