This tea is quite good and does live up to the name! The rooibos base is prefect for this blend because it supports the sweeter flavors so we’ll and you do taste it a bit on the back end and it’s not completely covered up. As for the chai flavor, it is actually there! A lot of DTs flavored chais tend to be cinnamon heavy and not really a chai (smores chai for example although I love that one). This one is definitely chai though! I get a little mix of cinnamon, ginger and cloves and then a heavy sweetness that does actually taste like candy corn! It’s got that cloying caramely/vanilla note that sticks to the tongue that I often associate with candy corn which I was pleasantly surprised by! Just like real candy corn, this is not the kind of flavor profile I would reach for daily, but it is so fun for Halloween when my sweet tooth comes around! I made some for my boyfriend when we did a scary movie night and he loves it too.

I’m always fairly active on steepster but it’s been ages since I’ve actually logged on and reviewed something. My mom gifted a few bags of this for Christmas (I think 3?) because it was on sale but I had never tried it before since DT stores are closed in the states and when I make purchases I typically only stock up on teas that are already my faves. But oh my word this tea is utterly divine! I’ve been drinking it all year and finally reached the end of my first bag today :( I will really have to savor the last two bags and pray that DT brings this one back next summer (I think this was from their 2024 collection and I can’t remember if they offered it this summer or not!) So anyways this tea is so good that I was inspired to write a review!

I really don’t CRAVE fruity iced teas outside of the summer months unless I’m really in the mood for it but wow is this tea different. I’m currently in my campus library sipping this on a blustery october day and it’s just perfect . The base for this tea is perfect. It’s a NICE, almost malty black tea blend, very bold but the perfect balance with the other flavors so that one doesn’t overpower the other. It tastes like you took this black tea, steeped it, and melted a rocket pop directly into it. The flavor is so spot on. It is nice and sweet without being cloying or masking the tea, and you get a nice fruit flavor. I would say the blue raspberry is most prominent and then you get a nice support from the cherry. I’m not sure how much lemon I’m getting but I do get a tiny citrus zing at the end, it’s just not as strong as the other flavors. My first time making this I just did it traditionally iced, but my favorite way to make it is to cold brew, stick it in the fridge for 24 hours, and you have a bold, sweet, tea that tastes exactly like a rocket pop. I think im gonna try it with a squeeze of lemon juice next time and see if that ups the lemon flavor! But honestly it doesn’t even need that, it is just perfect as is.

This is a sencha green tea with walnuts, maple sugar and natural maple flavoring and is one of my favorite maple teas. It’s got such a nice buttery and grassy flavor from the sencha with a nutty walnut flavor and subtle taste of maple. I love that the maple is there without it tasting sweet at all and it’s a very very pure tasting maple rather than being artificial. This is such an amazing tea and I continue to love Churchill’s blends!

This is one of the new throwback teas from DAVIDsTEA and the only one I ordered because it intrigued me the most. This tea is pretty decent! On it’s own, the apple and white chocolate are the most overpowering, making it very sweet. Almost undrinkable sweet. Since then I’ve tried it as both a hot and iced latte and it was really good! The milk cuts the sweetness so it isn’t completely unbearable and it also masks the apple flavor so you’re left with a sweet, white chocolate and vanilla flavor that is very reminiscent of a confetti buttercream frosting. It’s also a little bit oily from the white chocolate which almost gives it a buttercream mouth feel.I’d say it’s pretty close to it’s name. I’ll definitely enjoy the rest of what I have but I probably won’t buy more because it’s a very weighted tea so you don’t get a lot of loose leaf for your buck. Overall it’s worth a try for people who like dessert teas!

I know this statement is highly overused but this Bigelow blend is like Christmas in a cup. I’ve been on a holiday fix lately so I broke into my stockpile of Vanilla Chai. Yum this blend gets better every time. You get the bold, malty flavor of the black tea base and it’s not hidden by the other flavors like some other Vanilla Chai teas I have tried.in fact, the fa flavors balance each tperfectly. You get a nice creaminess from the vanilla, the spice from the cinommon, clove, and nutmeg, and the black tea fla or. This is one of those chairs that I will never stop loving and I highly recommend it.

Just bought some of this tea to try and it is delicious. You can’t really taste the green tea too much, so this would be good for someone who doesn’t really like the taste of green tea. The flavor is light, slightly sweet, buttery, and mapley. It kind of tastes like skinny pop. I will definitely be stocking up this one. It’s amazing how they actually get it to taste a little like popcorn!
