23 Tasting Notes

Earl Grey (loose leaf) from Twinings
Orange Blossom from DAVIDsTEA
66

I had a sample of this last time I visited my local David’s Tea. Was deelish! Reminded me of an orange creamsicle.

Will definitely be going on my tea shopping list.

Matcha Matsu from DAVIDsTEA
96

I’ve recently fell in love with this tea, its so frothy and good!
Smells not so great though, unfortunately that’s my favourite part of drinking tea. I’ve tried it with some agave but I have to say I prefer this one without anything!

The caffeine boost is amazing! helps me get through my classes and practising without crashing.

Jumpy Monkey from DAVIDsTEA
21

Not overly impressed. It was ok, but really didn’t stand out to me at all. Maybe because I’ve indulged myself in the chocolatly teas?
Did give me a boost of energy though.
Not a tea that I would add to my collection any time soon.

Long Life Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
96

So I fiiiiinally got to try this tea, since my local David’s tea opened I’ve been trying to get a cup but I suppose its very popular because they always seem to be fresh out!
It was worth the wait, I enjoyed this tea so much!
Sort of fruity, very much a berry taste, but no enough to make it sickly.

Drank one with one spelda.

Jungle Ju Ju from DAVIDsTEA
Cherry Potion from DAVIDsTEA
86

I quite enjoyed this.
The smell is amazing, very sweet. The smell is very strong.
The taste was also stronger than expected. I can see why somebody who enjoys a more mild tea would find it a little too over powering. But I truly love a strong tea, especially anything that is fruity or sweet.

After reading the notes that other people had posted I was sort of afraid to try it. But it was one of the teas my dad got me for Christmas, and lucky I very much enjoyed it.

As usual, I drank it with one Splenda.

Orange Pekoe from Tetley
95

This is what we call " Nan tea" in Newfoundland, it’s basically the only tea the older people drink here, and the only orange pekoe they’ll drink is the Tetley. I grew up with this tea and as a child I assumed that this was the only tea available.
Since being home I’ve spent a great deal of time with my nan. One thing we have in common is drinking Tetley Orange Pekoe. I drank it the only way I have for years, with canned milk and sugar twin.

Chai Tea from President's Choice
62

Not too bad!
It just may get me through until I get back home after Christmas.

Mildly spicy, had the chai taste but is not really up to the standards that I’m accustomed to.
I boiled the water and drank it with one splenda.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying attention, and forgot the take the bag out and by the end of it, the tea was quite bitter.

Whisky White from DAVIDsTEA
91

Yet another one of David’s Tea that I love.

I found this tea to be very mellow, but could definitely taste the whiskey, and the macadamia and who doesn’t like a macadamia nut cookie? I tried it with some honey, for some reason I feel like this tea should taste a little sweet.

I’d almost like to try this as an iced tea.

Fantasy Island from DAVIDsTEA

Had a quick sample of this while I was at David’s today.
At a glance, its a wonderful, warm tea, only a tad spicy.

I felt like I should log it, but I would like to have an entire cup before I can decide if I really like it or not.

Love Tea #7 from DAVIDsTEA
98

I tried to do this tasting note all week but exams and making my Tardis Christmas ornament distracted me.
I loooved this tea!
Its super tasty! Added to my favourites, It’s nearly floral, yet fruity and warm.
An all over great tea!

Chai Tea from Tim Hortons
72

I have to admit, I’m not big on Tim Hortins Tea’s, I’m more into their coffee (which is highly addictive). That being said, I do enjoy this tea a great deal! It’s my go to tea for sickness, stress, and when I’m at my parents place (since there is no David’s Tea in that area)
I’m a big fan of Chai in general, I very much enjoy a good spicy hearty tea.

Personally, I find adding sugar or some honey makes it all the more lovely!

Carrot Cake from DAVIDsTEA
62

I’m glad I got a chance to try this tea out! Not quite the carrot cake taste I was looking for, I guess because I like the icing more than I like the cake. But it did have the spicyness to it that a carrot cake should have. I enjoyed it.
However it’s not my favourite, and I’m not sure if it’s something I’d drink much of.
It really didn’t live up to my “desert in tea form” expectations.

Toasted Walnut from DAVIDsTEA
34

I wasn’t too impressed with this one. It wasn’t a dump out for me, but I don’t think I’d buy it again. I am a big walnut fan, however I grew up in an out port community, so fishing was big, and for some reason the scent of this tea reminds me of the smell of the air around that time, almost like fish. Does any body else get that scent as well, or am I just a nutter?

Goji Pop from DAVIDsTEA
97

Just beautiful! Reminds me of summer with it’s fruit punchy taste and scent. Delicious and good for you? Can it be?

The after taste is quite different, its almost like there is something spicy underneath, I want to say cinnamon but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.

This tea shall be added to my favourites.

Buttered Rum (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
64

Had this tea on the way to orchestra today to kill my sweet craving! I did enjoy it, however it wasn’t what I expected. I expected more of a buttered rum toffee taste for some reason. So it wasn’t as sweet as I would have liked, even with the sweetener in it. But it did have a hint of the rum and butter taste that I was craving and did in fact take away my sweet craving. The smell however is amazing,

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
95

This was the first chocolate based tea I’ve tried, and I fell in love with it.
It just reminds me of Christmas, spicy and sweet! More sweet than spicy however, the perfect blend. Very much a winter tea, but I believe I could drink it all year round!

All in All a great tea!

Alpine Punch from DAVIDsTEA
78

Oh the warmth!

Such a great winter tea, really great for keeping warm for the winter months, I’d have to describe it as robust. Scent is warm and amazing.

Is also great on the second steep.

Movie Night from DAVIDsTEA
66

I did enjoy this tea, however I found the flavour did not match the scent, that is until I added some splenda. I found that once I added some sweetness it started to taste exactly how I wanted it, sweet and Carmel like. Without the splenda it has more of the green tea taste.

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA
61

lovely tea, great scent and lovely smell. Very reminiscent of a peppermint patty. I would, However, like a little more chocolate.

The Skinny (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
68

Great tea! Very calming, in both scent and taste. Really makes me feel better after eating a larger meal.

I’m all about the organic, but it keeps me from the “oh no, what have I eaten” moments. Therefore it’s amazing!

Chocolate Orange (Oh Christmas Treat) from DAVIDsTEA
100

I absolutely love this tea! I have a cup every morning on my way to class very reminiscent of Terry’s chocolate orange.

I’m a big chocolate lover and I’ve found that this is a great substitute for anybody wanted to stay away from sweets. Totally takes care of the craving!
