aisling of tea drank Buddha's Blend by DAVIDsTEA

Guh. I didn’t think I’d like this, I avoided it due to hibiscus, but…guh. I took a sniff at the store, thank goodness my wife asked to sniff it! Wednesday we brought home 10 grams and today I went back for a tin. It’s fruity and light and I cannot wait to try it iced!

I was so ready to pass this by but now you’ve got me reconsidering!

Yeah, this smelled a lot better in the store than I was expecting. Only bought it because I want to try everything – haven’t given it a shot yet though!

I think the white hibiscus is different that the hibiscus in other teas. It really give this tea a fruity flavour. I enjoy it a lot. May buy a tin.

Interesting. I know I have a few to give a try to on my next visit.

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
