Glitter & Gold from DAVIDsTEA

Call me a Hufflepuff, call me a girl, call me whatever you want, but when something sparkles it makes me like it. (Unless it has anything to do with Twilight.) So this tea had me just sitting and staring at it, and oops, I let the first one steep way too long. I didn’t dare try it with a ten minute steep, so I dumped it all out and tried again. This one was much better, and is, like everyone else has said, a really nice sweet cinnamon black tea. I can’t wait to try this one as a latte using some cinnamon spiked milk!

Glad to make you smile! I’m a librarian and still shudder anytime someone asks for something related to that series.

Goodness. That’s like a top executive chef being asked to make Kraft Dinner.

Bio

An avid tea addict in the GTA, Ontario, Canada. I’m always looking for new teas and new tea addicted friends!

My preference is loose leaf of all varieties, however the occasional bagged tea can come along and charm me. Flavoured or straight, there is a good chance that I will be falling in love.

My ratings system is based on the smiley faces above the ratings scale.

0-10 — This tea didn’t get past the initial sip process. I just couldn’t bring myself to drink more, I found it so horrible.

11-50 — It made it past first sips, but as I drank a bit more I realized I really wasn’t enjoying the tea, and would never drink it again.

51-60 — I probably made it through the cup, but won’t be trying another one.

61-69 — Either it’s a mystery tea and I can’t decide if I like it or not, or it is one that I felt was purely adequate.

70-85 — These are the teas that I appreciate and/or like. If they are falling in this area they are ones that I would definitely re-buy, however are not ones that I must always have on hand. The good, but not the amazing.

86-94 — These are the favourites. My cupboard feels empty if they aren’t inside.

95-100 — Tea perfection!
