30 Tasting Notes

Banana Nut Bread from DAVIDsTEA
90

Its been a while! wow! I am still trying to use up all of my teas so i can stock up on some Christmas/winter teas! This one is a very nice light tea. I love it! Banana, nut, and currents! A great fall treat! Highly recommended! I have lots of reviews coming this week! Good night

Stormy Night (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

Had this one to go while i was downtown yesterday! The lady asked if i wanted milk and i said yes. She put about half a cup of milk in it. Next time I will say no…
Anyway, it was a cold cloudy day, so this was just what i needed.
Fabulously delicious and creamy. I may have to get some of this later on this year! Awesome!

Green and Fruity from DAVIDsTEA
90

blended with bamboozled. Still trying to use up all of my teas before teavana opens in a couple weeks. SO i used up my green and fruity and i have a little bit of bambooled left.
These two teas actually taste really nice together. Nice and smooth! Aewsome! Happy Thanksgiving (to those in Canada) and good night!

Persian Apple (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

Got this when I bought samples of the fall collection. It has been sitting in my cupboard since then but i finally decided to try it. And i was pleasantly surprised. Tastes very apply and green tea-y. I can also taste some floral notes which is nice. I probably wont buy this one again but i will enjoy it while i have it! :)

EDIT- as i drink this tea more, the less i like it. It tastes to rosey and not good. I have changed my mind. Its also quite sour, reminding me of that HORRIBLE perfect pear tea.

Blueberry Kona Pop Tea Blend from Teavana
90

Got this as a sample from an online order I placed this summer.
I am slowly trying to use up all of my fruity/iced teas that I have left from the summer. I also have pledged NOT to buy anymore tea until I have used up all of the ones I have. So, this tea is really nice.

Dry leaf nose: Pineapple, blueberry, rooibos.

Taste: Mostly blueberry, a little bit of pineapple.

I really do like the taste of this tea (iced). I haven’t tried it hot yet, and since my sample is gone I probably wont.

I may pick up a bit of this one when the TEAVANA store opens near me this fall. But, I am more excited to try their new GLOBAL TREASURES COLLECTION first. Maybe I will wait until next summer to pick it up.

But, nonetheless, this is still a great tea and I really enjoyed it. Have a great day ;)
EDIT- added a rating

Mudslide from Teaopia

hmmmm…. Im not too sure about this one.

Tastes very similar to Banana Nut Bread from DT. But the thing Im having trouble with is that I cant taste the chocolate. All i can taste is the banana and the walnut. Anyway, I was hoping for more of a rich chocolate banana flavor. Regardless, it still tastes good. Not great. Its a nice fall tea but I don’t think I would re-purchase this.
Oh well its still a nice tea.
EDIT- Im not going to rate some of my teas. Mostly because I cant decide on where the rating will stand. And especially with this one I am really not sure how much I like it.

Indian Summer from DAVIDsTEA
68

I am quite confused as to why this tea is in the FALL collection.
First of all, it is title Indian SUMMER, not Indian FALL. Also, the taste of this tea reminds in no way, of fall.
I’m not saying I don’t like this tea, because do, but to me it doesn’t fit with this collection.
Anyway,

Taste- very fruity, watermelon, apples.

Dry leaf nose- ^

I don’t really taste any white tea. I mostly just taste apple.
I am not super impressed with this tea, nor will I be buying again. I am just a bit confused as to why this tea made it into the fall collection. I would have much preferred maybe Mom’s Apple Pie to be apart of the collection rather than this one.

Please excuse my rambling.
So, in conclusion, this tea tastes fine, but not outstanding. Also it tastes very fruit punchy and this tea does make a great iced tea. But is just a bit out of season. I would have liked it better if it were in the SUMMER collection :)

Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Toasted Marshmallow from DAVIDsTEA
96

Okay, so, here is number 2 for the fall collection.
First of all- I steeped this tea for 4.5 minutes and it is quite weak. So would suggest maybe 5-5.5 minutes.
Dry Leaf Smell- cinnamon, and marshmallow pieces
Taste: Mostly cinnamon, with the sweetness from the marshmallows- no sweetener needed here!
Colour- Foggy brown.

This tea tastes almost tastes exact same as it smells- which to me is great because it will give you a good idea whether you will like the tea or not.

In conclusion, this tea is great for the fall time and it almost resembles a cinnamon chai. I really like this one and will most likely re-purchase it before the fall comes to an end. However, I don’t think this really tastes like toasted marshmallows, but it is tasty none the less. Have a great night.

Banana Nut Bread from DAVIDsTEA
90

FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL DONE- CHECK
PERFECT WARMING FALL TEA TO END THE NIGHT- CHECK

This tea really does taste like freshly baked BANANA NUT BREAD. I extremely enjoy this tea and I am pleasantly surprised at how good it tastes.

Taste: Almonds and banana mostly. With subtle flavors of other ingredients.
This one i actually steeped for 10 minutes because it was still weak even after 7min.

Dry leaf smell: Like bananas.

Looks like; trail mix

Color: light yellow/brown
So glad I picked this one up and just tried it. I can tell it will be great for after dinner(dessert) in the fall time.
Thank you DAVIDs TEA
P.S> Next I will review Indian Summer next on my jouney through the DAVIDs TEA fall collection of teas.
Goodnigight everyone!

Bamboozled from DAVIDsTEA
100

Had this one iced with a spicy dinner. It is very smooth and cooling.
Still really love this one.

Btw, lots of tea reviews coming up over the weekend!!

Goodnight

Mother's Little Helper (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
62

This tea is great for before bed.
Having just starting school things tend to get a bit stressful- so, I whipped up a cup of this tea.

Smell: Peppermint, lemongrass
Taste: ^
Color: Pink
I really do enjoy this tea occasionally because of the nice peppermint falvour, however, I cant see myself re-purchasing this tea, just because the taste is not very memorable IMO.
Goodnight.

EDIT- this tea is also a bit to sour for me i originally gave it a 74 but now i am reconsidering my rating….

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA
100

This is, as they say in the description, the best chocolate/desert tea.
It tastes just like after eight chocolates. The perfect blend of chocolate and mint- one of my favorite combos! It just- is great!
Its a very dark warm wintery tea. I have only had it hot and am scared to try it iced as it may not taste good. I have just run out!!!! Yikes- like I said in my last note, I do not usually re-purchase, but I will be with this one. Maybe not right away, I will probably buy it during the winter colder season.

Alpine Punch from DAVIDsTEA
79

I bought this one in stores a little while back and have tried it many times. I was running low and only had enough for one cup left, so I decided to have it last night.
Obviously this is a winter blend – considering the name.
Its a very comforting and warm tea. It does have a very wintery taste to.
I don’t know, this one is difficult to explain. It tastes pretty much how the name and description describe it.
This one I will not be repurchasing. However, that doesn’t mean anything. I don’t usually repurchase teas, mostly because DAVIDs TEA always has new tea coming out, and I , to try the new ones.
I will be doing reviews on the teas from the fall collection soon, so stay tuned!

Bear Trap from DAVIDsTEA
94

I really like this tea iced. I tried it hot first and immediately put it over ice.
It was overly fruity hot- but just right iced. Didnt need any sweetner.

Perfect Pear from DAVIDsTEA
8

Ummm——- woooo this one is super sour, and tart.

The taste- I could barley taste the pear- I could taste some apple though.
Way, way to sour for me.

The smell- Like sour keys.

The color- Yellow.

This one is just not good.

Blueberry Jam (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
59

Ehh, definitely not my favorite. Its not the best hot, and I just never got around to trying it iced. I had it in the morning a couple times- before I ran out of my 25g bag.

I would not re-purchase this tea.

Taste- BLUEBERRY, THE BLACK TEA, AND THE OTHER BERRIES. It too fruity for a breakfast tea for me. (Well, I’m guessing it’s a breakfast tea- because of the name)

Smell- Mostly the blueberries.

Colour- light brown / Purple.

In conclusion- This is an okay tea but not one I will be stocking up on.

Main Squeeze from DAVIDsTEA
30

I just picked this up a couple days ago.

Smell- like orange pop.

Taste- nothing like the smell. I really didn’t like this tea. It just tasted like mate with a tiny hint of orange.

Bamboozled from DAVIDsTEA
100

Its so awesome!

One of the greatest iced teas from DAVIDs TEA!!

The taste- Very, Very similar to Mango Madness ( also from DAVIDs)
Very refreshing and cooling

The color- light yellow- white

Smell- light, refreshing- like mango madness

very fruity!!!!
My fav iced tea at the moment—— and only tea rated 100 on my account! :)

Wild Orange Blossom from Teavana
84

OMG— all the things i ordered from TEAVANA taste like a tea from DAVIDs, which sucks, because I waited 2.5 weeks :(

Anyway- it tastes very similar to MID SUMMER NIGHTS DREAM (from DAVIDs TEA)

The taste: Very fruity (ORANGey – is that a word :P??) Nice iced- have yet to try it hot but will soon

I think I will wait until I get the youthberry tea- and blend it with this one. :D

The color – orange – “duh”

The smell: Nice- refreshing- orangey :)

Mac

Strawberry Lemonade Herbal Tea from Teavana
67

I ordered this in a recent teavana order and realized that it smells exactly like GOGI POP from DAVIDs TEA, which is quite unfortunate. I do still like this tea. But if you live in CANADA, then just get gogi pop from DAVIDs.

The taste: A bit sour from the lemons. And nice and sweet from the strawberry’s. This is basically the ultimate fruity iced tea.

The colour- very, very light pink.

The smell- Exactly like GOGI POP. ;)

Great tea- but wont be re-purchasing as i can basically just get this at my local DAVIDs TEA.

Luscious Watermelon from DAVIDsTEA
81

This one is awesome! I love the really juicy, fruity, fresh flavor. Maybe not good enough to re-purchase, but the 25g bag i got with the summer collection was great! The summer collection was a bit of a disappointment as a whole though. The perfect pear was just: (has own review-up soon) lets not go into that.
Strawberry shortcake- no thanks!!
Swampwater- pretty good.
Tropicalia- awesome!

So ya- this was a my fav of the summer collection.

Mac

Kiwi's Big Adventure from DAVIDsTEA
93

Awesome iced.
I love this tea iced. I got a sample of it from a friend and I really liked it. I haven’t bought anymore- next time ;).

This one is really cooling and subtly fruity! It’s just nice on a hot summer day! If you like this he, you will like bamboozled! That ones great too!
