aisling of tea drank Kanpe Tea by DAVIDsTEA

I was craving cold tea yesterday and I had just stopped into DavidsTea, so I made a pot of this. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it, that I work a few hundred feet from DavidsTea, but at no point do I get a break long enough to run out and get a cup >.<

Anyway, this tea intrigued me and, let’s face it, I’m a sucker for an interesting tin. I’m kind of in love. Iced, it’s nice and refreshing, but the spices work to somehow make it warm and comforting as well. It’s magic! Everyone should try this….yum.

I really want to try this one. I am hoping it will replace Pink Flamingo for me.

The girl in store tried to sell it to the ever so annoying chick behind me in line using that argument. The girl came in looking for Pink Flamingo, and left with Green and Fruity. o.O. Anyway, I dunno. I see a slight resemblance, but my favorite part of PF was the citrus, which I didn’t find in this tea. Still, it’s darn good! I wasn’t a fan of PF, and I ma a fan of this, so shrugs

Thanks for the info. I think I will give it a try and hope. I wish I could find a grapefruit tea like Pink Flamingo. Or I really hope they bring it back in the spring.

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!
