So I’m sipping on this tea at work… I swear I get to enjoy more teas at work then home lately… Anyways when I opened my sample package the smell was an over whelming citrus, apple, mint. I immediately thought “yep, no way, this is an iced tea”. However being at work, and its winter, the option is hot. Therefore I’m drinking this hot and to be honest its not that bad. My original reaction, based on smell only, was an immediate no, thinking it would be a tart and minty tea mess. I’m happy to report its got a good apple like flavour with a hint of citrus and an undertone of light mint. The smell does throw me for a loop, however its not bad hot. It could of been worse.

I’m thinking for the remainder of my sample I will have to try this as an iced tea and see if I prefer it better that way. No recommendation as for me I personally am not fond of it, based on smell mainly and the taste doesn’t wow me, however if you like apple, citrus this could be great for you.

Flavors: Apple, Citrus, Mint

Open to Tea Swaps :)

I’m a 23 year old tea drinking travel enthusiast. Currently I am finishing my bachelor of tourism management degree, due to graduate June 2015. Along with travelling & tea, I LOVE dogs!

Currently I am a mom to 2 ‘fur babies’. I have a blue heeler border collie cross who will be 2 at the end of February 2015, and a 8 month old red heeler (born May, 2014). Technically the red is only half mine as she is really my fathers dog, however I take care of her about 70% of the time :). My dogs are my world! However someday I would love to have human children as well. My boyfriend of 5 years doesn’t understand my need for real babies and/or my obsession with tea!

As for tea, I have slowly become an addict over the past year. My addiction all started with my first purchase at DavidsTea, and well the rest is history… Lets just say I don’t drink much bagged tea anymore. It’s mostly loose leaf in my cupboard and overflowing to the counter.

I am still fairly new to tea, however I have come to discover that my favourite kinds are:
1. Rooibos
2. Herbal
3. Black (however just recently I’ve come to find these teas not as flavourful as I would like)

I mainly shop DavidsTea as I have not been able to branch myself out much further, however I am open to suggestions and also TEA SWAPS!

Rating scale:

1 to 25 —> Undrinkable. YUCK!

26 to 50 —> Really not a fan.

51 to 69 —> Decent. Not something I will need to keep on hand.

70 to 85 —> Yummmmm! Definitely drinkable and potential for permanent shelf stock.

86 to 100 —> AMAZING. Always keeping on stock on my shelf!!
