59 Tasting Notes

Cinnamon Rooibos Chai from DAVIDsTEA
74

A pretty good tea, but too much cinnamon…I feel like this tea is “missing something”. I prefer Coco chai rooibos from DAVIDs.

Tropicalia from DAVIDsTEA
85

“Dad, my tea tastes like a piña colada!”
“Did you put rum in it?”
“No…”
“Then it doesn’t taste like a piña colada.”

This tea is nice, refreshing an summery. No hibiscus, so not tart aftertaste. Also, the coconut is not overused (I have so many teas with coconut I’m getting a little sick of them, but not this tea). This is my second favorite tea of the summer collection (after Mango fruit punch, of course).

Pink Passionfruit from DAVIDsTEA
80

I have no idea what actual Passionfruit tastes like, so my rating is not based on anything like that.

I can tell DAVID’S is being very careful with the hibiscus in this tea..as long as you only steep it for 4-5 min, it’s not overpowering. Over all this is a nice, summery and fruity tea with a little tart aftertaste to it. However, being the lover of sweet over tart iced teas, I prefer Mango fruit punch or tropicalia over this tea. It’s still good, though.

Coconut Grove from DAVIDsTEA
73

I don’t know why, but I prefer this tea hot as opposed to iced…I like my iced teas to be stronger and more fruitier I suppose.

Anyways, this tea is nice and light and the coconut and vanilla worked really well with the white tea. I like it. However, I probably won’t pick anymore up for a while because I’m getting all coconut-ed out.

Mint Julep from DAVIDsTEA
73

This one tastes mainly like rooibos and black tea..I get a bit of coconut but hardly any mint taste. Also, I’m not big on lemon mixed with black tea… I guess this one is not for me.

Mango Fruit Punch from DAVIDsTEA
92

Oh my goodness…this tea is delicious!
It tastes so fruity, and “Mango Fruit punch” is definitely the right name for this tea. I was not disappointed! I will definitely be picking up a full tin of this.

Be warned though…the 25 gram bag I got in the summer collection will only make 2 cups of iced tea(4 cups of hot, but I couldn’t imagine this tea being all that good hot) because the pieces are so heavy.

Raspberry Royale from Bigelow
59

Not really big on black teas with fruit, so I didn’t really care for this tea. Also, I found it too artificial tasting.

Creme Brulee from DAVIDsTEA
61

I didn’t think this tastes anything like creme brûlée to be honest…just rooibos.

Orange Pekoe (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
77

I bought 50 grams of this tea for my mom for Mother’s Day. She only drinks plain black tea and I think she’ll like this. It’s a nice, simple black tea.

Bravissimo from DAVIDsTEA
88

This tea has many “layers” to it; from the first cup I had, I was first hit with chamomile, then peppermint, and lastly a subtle aftertaste of licorice. I like it! But I must make sure to have it more so in the evening, because chamomile makes me sleepy. Also, I can definitely see this being something I rush to when I am sick.

Green Tea Plus Glow from Tetley
75

A Nice, light green tea that my co worker gave me. I like it, although with Tetley I find you gotta make sure not to overstep your tea. 1 minute I find is plenty, and the bag can easily be reused again.

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA
77

A slightly sweet black tea that my co worker gave me to try. It’s pretty good! But, I’m not big on chocolate teas in general (even though I like chocolate, weird eh?) so I dunno if I would purchase any.

Coco Chai Rooibos from DAVIDsTEA
84

Yummy!
I didn’t expect to like this one; it came as a sample when I was stocking up on tea online (boo you DAVID’s for not having honey bush lemon ginger in stores! :( ). I expected this tea to be grossly spicy, but instead it tastes like…baking! It works wonderfully as a latté or straight up. It’s on my shopping list for when I am no longer poor.

Coconut Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
78

My co-worker gave this tea to me and its really nice. I like how it’s only flavored with JUST coconut and not a whole bunch of other ingredients. It’s nice and simple :)

White Tiger (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
74
All The Raj from DAVIDsTEA
62
Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
70

I’m glad that the peppercorns and spicier ingredients are mellow. This is definetely chocolate-y tasting, and while I do like chocolate, I think chocolate teas aren’t my thing. However, for those people who like that sort of thing, I definately reccomend this tea for you.

Silk Dragon Jasmine (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
89

Not usually one for “flavoured” green tea, but this one is awesome!

Chrysanthemum Flowers from DAVIDsTEA
72

I can see why some people wouldn’t care for this tea. It is very flowery and that is not for everyone. However, I enjoy this tea and I love the fact that you don;t have to worry about over-steeping it. Also, it looks really pretty brewing up in the infuser.

Banana Dream Pie (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
75
Cookie Dough from DAVIDsTEA

Cocomint Cream from DAVIDsTEA

Alpine Punch from DAVIDsTEA

Profile

Bio

I used to be a coffee drinker, but it started to hurt my stomach so I switched to tea. A friend of mine introduced me to DAVID’s TEA and I couldn’t stop after that!

How I rate teas goes as following:

1-49: Teas I won’t buy again. Either the taste is discusting to me, or it’s too bland, etc.

50-59: Teas I wouldn’t buy; they are not terribly disgusting, but I just don’t care for them.

60-69: I’ll finish the cup and even the bag/tin, but I wouldn’t buy again-these teas are “lacking something”.

70-79:Teas that are pretty good and ones I might buy again. Usually these teas are ones I have to be “in the mood for” and drink occasionally.

80-89: Very good teas: ones I’m often in the mood for and drink often. Ones that are often in my stash :)

90-99: Favourite must-have teas!

100: I have yet to find the perfect tea :)
