33 Tasting Notes

Awake™ Full Leaf Tea from Tazo Tea
63

I think this tea is okay. I do put it through my Keurig so I am positive that makes a difference (rather than steeping myself). It’s more of a convenience tea when I’m feeling lazy haha. It’s quite strong and bitter, I have to put some agave in it to help balance it out a bit. I don’t mind the taste, I’m sure it would be great as an iced tea. But I do get a pretty astringent-y after taste with this tea. It’s just a little bitter for me! But…it’s still okay. I always get these tea if I go to Starbucks. My friends are Starbucks junkies but I don’t really drink coffee or enjoy anything else besides this or an Earl grey tea latte :)

Fantasy Island from DAVIDsTEA
99

This tea blew my mind. I’ve had it on my list for a long while now, but never really thought it appealed to me as much as other davids flavors. I was at DT today and wanted a latte, the girl working said to try fantasy island. I said yes I will try it! And then I was taken to a magical tropical awesome place. The latte was FANTASTIC let me tell you! I had to venture back to davidstea to get 50g after having my latte. Mmmmmm so delish. I’m thinking ill have to get a tin of this :) YUM!!

Ice Cream Cake from DAVIDsTEA
91

I like this one! Got to try this one from a friend who ordered it before it was sold out…(ALSO, it’s not even on the site anymore!!! Is it gone?) Anyway, I don’t really taste ice cream but I do like the flavour and the sweetness of this tea!

The Steeper - DAVIDsTEA from Teaware
96

I love this magical creation! Great for resteeping. And really just kinda fun to use :)

Eight Candles from Della Terra Teas
99

I looooooooove!!! First of all, it’s such a beautiful tea in the bag. The sprinkles and marshmallows make me smile. Then I take a sip. Yum!!! It’s so marshmallowy and awesome. I love it. I just downed a cup…glad I made this my first non davidstea to try :) next up is s’mores and cinnamon crackle. Can’t wait!!! I wish I ordered 40000oz instead of just 2. Haha!

Chocolate Orange (Oh Christmas Treat) from DAVIDsTEA
79

Yummmmmm!! I love this one. It’s also my first pu’erh. A very nice treat for me :)

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
74

Love this one. I wish the chocolate and the chili flavors were just a LITTLE more bold, but I love the kick this tea has! I maybe should have steeped longer.

Prairie Berry from DAVIDsTEA
75

Had to pick this one up because I’m a prairie girl, haha. Wish it had a bit more of the berry flavor, the smell was delicious but it didn’t quite come through strong enough in the taste! Still good though! I don’t have alot of berry/fruit flavor tea so I know I will drink this one!

Hot Lips (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
84
Pure Vanilla (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
67

Drinking this one before bed since it has no caffeine hehe. This ones nice, pretty simple. I can’t taste too much vanilla, but I’m still drinking and left the bag in to see what happens… It mostly just tastes like rooibos. Not bad though! I’m enjoying it. I’d love to try the DT vanilla oolong and compare the two for vanilla flavor though. This one doesn’t seem “true” vanilla to me! But I still like it.

Edit: it’s starting to taste like cough medicine?

Cocomint Cream from DAVIDsTEA
90

Yeaaahhhh! I knew I would love this tea. Got my big order in the mail today and this is the first one I tried. I love it. I used one of the agave sticks in it, coconut, and it was really sweet but it was delicious! I love the mix of coconut and mint. I love both of those! They go together perfectly in this tea :) a new favorite!

Sleigh Ride from DAVIDsTEA
84

Merry Christmas! This tea is very delicious! It smells (and looks) a lot like Forever Nuts…but it’s still very good. I’m not crazy for herbal teas, but this was a nice tea after all my festivities today. I got a 50g bag in my stocking. Very nice!

Nutcracker Sweet from Celestial Seasonings
59

I love the smell of this tea….but it’s actually not the greatest taste! Kinda weird. I’m glad it’s sweet enough on its own though! I dunno! I put two bags in my mug and it was pretty weak. Meh! Not bad, not amazing!

Green Tea with Ginseng & Honey from Arizona
94

I absolutely love this in the summer as an iced tea! Very light and refreshing taste! The mandarin orange version makes a great iced drink too!

Carrot Cake from DAVIDsTEA
85

My first oolong! I liked this tea! I don’t think it’s fully “carrot cake” but the taste is nice to me. It was a really light tea in color and flavor, but I enjoyed my cup! I will agree that the dry smell doesn’t smell like carrot cake at all, I can’t even really place the smell. But all in all, I liked the tea! I’m actually not really a carrot cake fan at all, haha, but I think that’s why I like the tea because I find the flavor extremely light and subtle. Nice! ….Any oolong recommendations would be appreciated!! (Online or davids since thats the only tea shop nearby!)

Edit: bumping this rating up because I think I’m starting to love this tea!

Oh Canada from DAVIDsTEA
96

I loooooove this tea! Maple syrup is always a win! And I live in Canada so I felt obligated to buy this tea. It’s very sweet but you can definitely taste the maple…and I love rooibos so I figured I couldn’t go wrong :) very tasty tea!

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
89

I really enjoy this one, a lot! BUT it doesn’t taste like nuts to me. More overpowered by the apples and cinnamon. But I really like the taste it brings! It is one of my favorites for a sweet treat.

Birthday Cake from DAVIDsTEA
99

I absolutely love this tea. I think this is the tea in my cupboard that I drink the most of. The smell of it alone is enough for me to love it! I am a rooibos fan and this blend is perfect. It’s like cake batter! Or a cupcake! Plus anything with cute little sprinkles is a win for me! And it’s my birthday so I’m drinking this tea ALL DAY! Woo!

Timolino from Teaware
96
Cream of Earl Grey (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
94

I absolutely love this earl grey. It’s still got a classic taste, but the touch of vanilla is where I fell in love here. It tastes so creamy and I did not add anything to my cup, and it tastes like I did! Yum! I’ve been having so many earl grey tea lattes lately that I kinda forgot about the “true” tea taste if you know what I mean. This cup was so enjoyable! Mmmmm!

Root Beer Float (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
85

Ah, root beer float. The dry smell of it repulsed me slightly but I’ve learned not to judge teas before I steep and drink :) I love this tea. It’s not too float-y to me, but very root beer!! I love it. Spot on. I think a latte would be super.

Buttered Rum (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
96

Ohhhh me loves this tea. It’s so creamy and buttery and rummy and good. I added some sweetener and a splash of milk, and it just added to the creamy goodness and I think it brought out the commute for me. Nom nom. Will have to add some rum sometime soon! This could be trouble! :)

Ceylon Star from DAVIDsTEA
79

Finally got around to trying this tea. I grabbed a bag since it was tea of the month, not really knowing what Ceylon or star anise was. But she showed me the tea and there was a star in it and my tea brain was like, “OMG A STAR SO CUTE” and I bought it haha. Surprisingly, I like it! It’s kind of weird to me, and new, because when I bring my cup to my mouth to take a sip, I smell the licorice scent…but then I don’t really taste it. It’s actually really nice though. It’s nice and creamy, and I can taste the coconut and a bit of white chocolate! It’s strange because all of the flavors are quite subtle, but I (think) I can taste them all. It’s a really nice tea and one I did not expect to enjoy judging by the smell! I’m glad I bought this tea and will enjoy the bag until it’s gone. I may even steep another cup right now. Yum! Weird to me, but yum nonetheless!

Amaretto from DAVIDsTEA
74

Yum. I really like this one :) I find it pretty intense all by itself! The flavor got even better once my cup got cooler. Very nice tea! Spot on amaretto in my opinion :)
