42 Tasting Notes

Cream of Earl Grey (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
The Skinny (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
69

Tastes like orange/citrus drink. Definitely a flavour not everyone will like, because I think it’s kind of unusual and I’m not sure what to think about it. I’m drinking it right now. It’s okay I guess… it’s fairly pricy. I was told it was good for weight loss from a friend. I think it’s just the placebo effect but I do find myself fuller and less likely to eat when drinking the tea. Maybe it’s just me.

Traditional Yerba Mate (bottled) from Guayaki
94

This is SO addicting. I’m kind of sad it’s $3 a bottle on campus but whatever. It’s worth a treat now and then. It’s subtle and sweet and has a deep mate taste as well, it’s not sickly sweet. It just has a deep, robust, earthy flavour you expect from a roasted mate. My favourite.

Midsummer Night's Dream from DAVIDsTEA
35

Tastes way too citrusy. I like citrus, but this felt like you shoved a bunch of lemon and orange peels into the tea. It was very bitter the one I got from the store and I’m not sure if I’ll try it again. I think I’ll stick to my other citrus teas for now.

Toasted Walnut from DAVIDsTEA
78

It definitely has the hint of pineapple since it’s got a tangy aftertaste. It definitely tastes like walnut and coconut. It’s a good tea for a rainy day or a winter night… a-la “chestnuts roasting on an open fire!” feel except it’s walnuts, lol. It’s good without sweetening it and I prefer this one hot since it’s nice and nutty.

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
88

I love this hot! So good with cream and agave. I think it tastes fairly “almond-ey”. It’s misleading title because almonds aren’t really nuts. (They’re in the peach family!) So my boyfriend who is deathly allergic to nuts can have this tea. I can taste a hint of apple and cinnamon but not overpowering. It’s a good tea and I love the pinkness! :P

Matcha Matsu from DAVIDsTEA
88

I try a lot of different matchas in my life, this one hits the spot. Whisk it properly with the matcha whisk and you’re good to go. Add some agave nectar (or a sweetener) for a sweet-latte mixed with some milk and ice. I do like my matcha cold so yeah. It’s definitely got a deep flavour compared to the regular matcha from DAVIDsTEA. If you don’t add sugar or cream it kind of tastes fishy? Like seaweed? Blech.

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
54

I guess I was expecting more of a spicy flavour? I had a chocolate bar from Rocky Mountain that had chili in it, and I guess I was expecting it in this tea. (How unrealistic.) It tastes like a chocolately chai. Nothing really special to me, but it’s probably not one of my favourite teas. Tastes alright with some cream and agave mixed in, hot, of course.

Quangzhou Milk Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
81

I like this tea but it’s pricy so I have it once in a while for a treat. Definitely tastes like oolong, and it has a creamy scent both dry and when steeped. You get the kick of “creaminess” when you first drink it but then it kind of fades away.

Jessie's Tea from DAVIDsTEA
77

I LOVE lavender and I really don’t taste it in here too much. It’s more coconutty than it is ~lavender. I guess I was expecting a kick-in-the-face lavender taste. It’s still tasty and I like it served warm or cold.

Cold 911 from DAVIDsTEA
86

Really tastes like a herbal tea. I don’t quite like it, but it did soothe the throat. (Though I think most teas do that effect?) It’s also kind of pricy. So I bought it at the store in a ready-to-go cup instead.

Organic Mocha Mint Yerba Mate from Mate Factor
79

Delicious tea. I buy it on campus (or used to). It tastes like a mocha/coffee drink without the repulsive overbearing coffee taste. Actually it tastes closer to a minty hot chocolate. Either way, it’s a delicious treat especially for the winter months. I don’t think I can drink this in the summer. It’s really good with cream and sugar mixed in.

Turkish Delight from DAVIDsTEA
73

I am absolutely gutted they discontinued this tea. Admittedly I didn’t taste any of the nuts promised in this tea, it strongly tasted tangy and apple-ey, but I still loved it. It didn’t taste like apple juice but it was definitely an apple-centric tea. I wish I bought a bag before they discontinued it.

Luscious Watermelon from DAVIDsTEA
100

My favourite tea from DAVIDsTEA. DELICIOUS! I cannot emphasize it enough. I’ve never tried it hot, but this is freakin’ fantastic when it’s iced! It reminds me of summer. I can see myself sipping this beside the pool, haha. Very good. You taste the watermelon, the melon and strawberries. Overall a delicious blend, my co-worker doesn’t like fruity teas but she likes this one. I’m sad it’s limited edition so I’m going to be buying a tin or two soon!

Thai Tea from Tisanes Herbal Tea Drink
Happy Kombucha from DAVIDsTEA
76

Smells deliciously of fruit, and when steeped it tastes and smells like “fuzzy peach” candy. Very good. I prefer this warm, but it’s equally as good when iced. (I’m a huge fan of iced tea!) Even my picky boyfriend likes this tea a whole lot. I don’t think I could drink it everyday, but when I want a peachy picker-upper, this is what I’ll get.

Honeybee from DAVIDsTEA
90

Smells strongly of honey, if you’re a honey fan you’ll like it. It tastes exactly as it sounds, with a hint of green mate mixed in. I highly recommend! It’s good both warm and iced.

Roasted Maté from DAVIDsTEA
100

Delicious. I buy an (overpriced) mate tea on campus, but I found the perfect substitute! I make this iced, btw. I brew according to the package (or sometimes I just carelessly steep it), if you steep it longer it has a delicious earthy mate flavour. I add some agave sometimes to make it the “iced tea” drink I like, but it’s delicious without the sweetener. I just prefer this cold. ;)
