34 Tasting Notes

Pink Flamingo from DAVIDsTEA

Well this sounded great, smelled great, but when i drank it, I was dissapointed in the same way as when drinking forever nuts. The hibuscus just makes it way to strong and bitter regardless of water temp or steep time. I will be a lot more cautious when buying any teas with hibiscus! Therefore, I am witholding a ratin because if you like hibiscus this is great, otherwise it’s a trainwreck.

Southern Belle from DAVIDsTEA
97

This one’s a semi-sweet peach delight! The peach is just right, and certainly not overpowering and the yougurt adds a nice sweet touch to it. Quite happy with this one, I’ll most likely supplement my sample with a tin :). It’s like the Long Life Oolong but more relaxed and not as strong and overpowering. One of the ones that’ll be on my shelf constantly. Yummy!
EDIT: Definately got a tin! They also had a fresh arrival when I bought it and it’s just awesome. :)

Sleigh Ride from DAVIDsTEA

No matter how short I steep this or how little tea I use, I always end up with this rancidly strong cup of purple. Don’t get me wrong, the colour’s nice but it ends there. I don’t know what it is but I always get it really strong, spicy and gross. I’m not sure if it’s the cinnamon or something else but bleck this is terrible.
EDIT: I think this may be my preference despite the reviews similar to mine, but because of that chance I’m removing the rating and just keeping the review.

Exotica from DAVIDsTEA
97

Nice! With all these spicy combination and the perfect flavour of the lemongrass it’s like a sweet and sour lemon flavour, almost a hot spicy lemonade. Kind of hard to explain. It’s just this tart and sweet fruity lemon tea, a great addition to any tea collection. Just don;t steep it too long or the lemon takes over!

Orange Blossom from DAVIDsTEA
97

So, I’m pretty much a citrus freak and like teas with a strong citrus taste *and after smelling this it clearly had one) so I grabbed a sample and shortly after tasting it went back and bought a tin! It is a very nice creamy orange flavour and the rooibos is in the back (but not overpowering) making it just perfect. I sometimes add a little sugar because I find it just a tiny bit sour (almost non-existant) and if you’re in a funky mood, add some cream….makes it taste just like a creamsicle!

Cream of Earl Grey (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
89

A nice twist on a great classic. There was not a whole lot of “cream” however there is certainly a smooth creaminess to it. Just like the original, it has a sort-of dark taste, so I still add a bit of sugar but hold off the milk because of the vanilla. Overall, a very nice cream based earl grey. Whether you pick this or plain ol’ earl grey you’ll be all set for tea time!

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
84

It’s a good ooling tea, however I found the peach to be very mild. That might just be because I love peach and was expecting a huge punch of peach. But just overall, a very nice tea, and quite relaxing. For that reason I am still giving it a good rating and saying go ahead and try it. If you like peach, you’ll enjoy it.

Movie Night from DAVIDsTEA
94

One word, WOW! I bout a sample of this and I will definately going back for a tin! At first, it’s this sweet, almost nutty taste. This transforms into an spiced apple, with the popcorn taste present in the back and a kind of toffee/caramel sweetness which is hard to describe any other way then just plain delicious! David’s has had another great tea once again! Highly reccommended.

Toasted Walnut from DAVIDsTEA
67

Well…. At first, it’s just a sweet green tea, but then when you’re least expecting it the walnut smacks you in the face (or mouth?) and then comes the after taste (which is the best part!) it’s a nice sweet walnut, sweet taste with some sort of maple which is really quite delicious however the flavour is a little on the weak side, but still a decent tea. I just got a sample and I might go back and pick up a tin sometime this week. Orverall, not bad for a nice, sweet light tea. =)

Daydreamer from DAVIDsTEA
84

This tea isn’t jam-packed full of flavor like others from David’s, but what it does have is really good. It got the grassy, nutty taste of the Sencha and the mango adds a punch of fruit. It is very refreshing and not overpowering like some fruit teas. Very relaxing and recommended.
