25 Tasting Notes

Pom Tango from DAVIDsTEA
74

this smells EXACTLY like mango madness… and tastes pretty much the same. seriously. except more caffeine and no added white tea benefits.. although its cheaper. hm.

Coconut Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
64
Mulberry Magic from DAVIDsTEA
84

Hmm. The smell wasn’t as strong for me as some other people described. It smells sweet and complex, and is a nice light tea. I wish it were a bit more nutty… anyhow, the health benefits are so great and it is pretty yummy, so it will have a place in my cupboard. Second steep is way weaker and I think a third would be hot water. Also, the vegetal after taste is not off-putting at all.

This tea is great. I love the hot-throat sensation… You can re-steep this 4+ times with success. It is an every day tea for me. Does anyone else feel that when they try a tea they like, they need to automatically get a tin of it, even if they can’t afford it and have around 10 cups left…. yup. Will power must be activated until I’ve totally run out. THEN A TIN WILL BE OBTAINED IMMEDIATELY.
… I’m not crazy.

Guayusa (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
35

OKAY SO. At first I liked this, but then I tried it again a few times and it kind of made me sick. Didn’t taste that good… then an hour later my stomach was killing me… probably unrelated to the tea, I did have some greasy pizza that day. Sigh, I bought a tin of this, so it will be around, maybe I will come back to it and re-discover my appreciation.

Genmaicha from DAVIDsTEA
81

What I expected: the sweet nutty taste that was described. What I got – a light, toasted rice-y flavour, not sweet, not bitter. I wasn’t sure about it at first, then I brewed it with cooler water (still warmer than room temp) a second time and it was great. The taste between the first and second infusion is definitely different imo, the second one being much lighter and less of a toasted rice-y after taste. I think it is something that will grow on me.

Chocolate Orange (Oh Christmas Treat) from DAVIDsTEA
100

If you look up this tea and think, “yeah, but I doubt it really tastes like a creamy chocolate orange” YOU ARE WRONG. The smell is EXACTLY what I hoped for. Tasted amazing, especially with a bit of vanilla almond milk. MMMMM.

Coco Chai Rooibos from DAVIDsTEA
74
Crème de Menthe from DAVIDsTEA
100

OH NO this tea will be gone soon… with all its smooth creamy minty joys… gotta stock up, or I’ll regret it :C

Ceylon Star from DAVIDsTEA
77

I liked it but wouldn’t buy it again – when smelling it, the white chocolate smell seems to interupt everything and leave a bad smell in my nose. I had a cup before going to bed last night and I tasted sweetness, chocolate is definitely there… But I find it clashes with the other ingredients – that’s weird for me to say, because I love chocolate.

Cocoa Canela from DAVIDsTEA
61

Definitely like Chocolate Rocket more, but I did buy 50g of this (I thought I’d definitely love it) sooo I must finish that before stocking up on my favourite…
The smell, I dislike. The taste is sweet and chocolate-y, and kind of fruit-y. Not what I expected. However it does get the mate job done. I wouldn’t buy it again.

Birthday Cake from 52teas
Crème de Menthe from DAVIDsTEA
100

I actually really love this, especially with a bit of almond milk – i say ‘naturally’ because it took a little getting used to. It’s very creamy-tasting and i LOVE that gentle after-taste, very comforting. Kinda… nutty? I always have a bit of this.

Toasted Walnut from DAVIDsTEA
67

This tea is delicious but I would’t buy it regularly due to the artificial flavouring. Light, sweet, walnutty taste. Mmmmm. I could drink 3 or 4 cups at once.

Banana Dream Pie (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
55

This one is okay. It definitely tastes like bananas, although it wasn’t as tasty as I was expecting. I can’t help but feel it somewhat tastes like old bananas, although it doesn’t stop me from drinking it (is that weird?).

Jumpy Monkey from DAVIDsTEA
1

I hate this. It has a nasty taste – as if you steeped hay from a horse’s barn. No chocolate or coffee taste at all.

Hot Lips (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
78

I really enjoy this tea, but the cinnamon can be a little strong. I recommend a brew of 3 minutes. It doesn’t taste like green tea at all…

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
74

I’m not a huge Chai fan but this one is great. It does have a spicy kick, and smells chocolate-y. It can be quite strong but no bad aftertaste if you choose to brew it longer.

Exotica from DAVIDsTEA
99

I love this and I often drink it when I want something caffeine-free. Regardless of the advertisement, the taste isn’t really strange – it is sweet and mildly spicey. I mostly taste coconut and cinnamon. Definitely worth the buy.

Mango Madness from DAVIDsTEA
59

Not my favourite. I got it as a gift and tried it iced and it just has the worst aftertaste if it’s steeped too long. A light fruit taste.

Cocomint Cream from DAVIDsTEA
88
Buttered Rum (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
88
Chocolate Rocket from DAVIDsTEA
100

I drink this every single morning, and it is probably the sweetest tea I enjoy. The raspberries are prominent.
