34 Tasting Notes

Maple Pecan Oolong from Butiki Teas
91

This is a nice cup of oolong. Not too sweet but does take care of the craving :) Love the balance of maple and pecans – yummy just right!

Pineapple Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
79

Gots me a free sample of this from a really nice girl at DAVIDs last evening. Woohoo free tea!!!

Well it smells like white wine to me when steeped hot. Am I the only one who thinks this? Probably lol! But it does. Anyway it is nice but I do find the oolong base a bit to light for my liking. With so many more oolongs to try, I probably won’t purchase again anytime soon.

Vanilla Orchid from DAVIDsTEA
92

Backlog:

So glad I popped into DAVID’s last evening and gave this a try. It is a really lovely tea. Creamy and not too floral. This cuppa hit the spot at work this morning so I will make sure my work tea drawer is stocked with this!

Cantaloupe & Cream from Butiki Teas
99

This is a beautiful cup of tea. I only wished I tried my sample before the postal rates went up for us in Canada :(. No matter, I will order this tea and many others from Butiki Teas because I love all the teas I have had from Stacy so far! I love how the cantaloupe is the first taste followed by the cream. It’s perfect!

Eight Candles from Della Terra Teas
90

This is a sweet cup of deliciousness! I wouldn’t have it as a everyday tea, but it’s a great go-to when craving sweets. Nice flavour balance and the caramel notes at the end of the sip is all kinds of yum!

Classic Apple Pie from Della Terra Teas
95

YUMMIES!!! Tastes just like homemade gooey apple pie! A very nice balance of cinnamon, apple, vanilla and pie crust. A must try fo sho!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie from Della Terra Teas
90

This is pretty good! Very strong on the cinnamon, at least I think so. A dash of sugar and a splash of soy milk helped take that edge off. Overall a pretty tasty tea.

Grapefruit Dragon from Butiki Teas
98

Backlog:

I’m truly in awe of this tea – truly a treat to drink! The tart taste of the grapefruit and the dragon well base were meant to be together. Love that hit of tartness on the tongue at the end of the sip, yet it has a sweetness to it that just goes perfectly with everything else. Another tea with a beautiful colour when steeped.

Creamy Eggnog from Butiki Teas
100

Ermergerd!!! First I want to send a big thank you to Stacy for being so nice and accommodating my anal organizational request :) I appreciate it!!
As for the tea please see my first word above. This is beyond delicious. The at-first subtle vanilla notes become more pronounced as it cools. And I do detect a creamy egg taste too! Beautiful colour once steeped. I cannot say enough good things about this tea! My only wish is that this tea will be available all year long.

Chocolate Rocket from DAVIDsTEA
95

I decided to grab a cup of this to go and I’m so glad I did! I love the raspberries and roasted chicory root. Just a very tasty Yerba mate! Will have to stock this one in my work drawer :)

Quangzhou Milk Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
77

Enjoying this cup much more this morning. Perhaps it’s because I let it steep for a tad longer than suggested. It’s quite tasty!

Toasty Almond from Tealish
97

Love this!! Very similar to DAVIDs Forever Nuts blend. But this one is a more real tasting nutty brew. I love apple and cinnamon flavours together. And this brew has them! Gonna try a cold brew of this which should be super yummy!!

Irish Breakfast from Tealish
100

This is a tea my hubby enjoys so this is really his review :) He likes a straight, strong black tea so this one fits the bill nicely for him. He adds a splash of milk and a pinch of sugar. He told me taste wise, its very bold. Any recommendations for other black teas along these lines would be appreciated!!!

Milk Oolong from Tealish
90

Now this is a nice milk oolong! I can taste buttery notes and a nice sweet milk after taste. Also has a bit of nuttiness to it.
I didn’t get these various tastes from my DAVIDs milk oolong. A very nice satsifying cup of tea before house cleaning :)

Some Velvet Morning from DAVIDsTEA
74

Needed this one this morning :) This time I added some agave syrup and that seemed to improve the taste for me.

Orange Marzipan Rooibos from Tealish
94

Backlogged cuppa from yesterday:
POW!! It is like an explosion of orange and almond goodness from the moment you smell this tea dry. And to me it tastes as good as it smells. I have not had a tea infused with orange and I really like it. Very comforting to me for some reason. Thankfully, it is not too overpowering but does seem to invigorate me! This would make a great tea to go to for an afternoon pick-me-up!

Kombucha Lychee Detox from Tealish
94

Oooh – this tea is divine! Cannot believe there are no previous tasting notes! Love the aroma and taste of the Lychee. Just a nice all around green tea that supposedly detoxes as well. Another re-purchase!

Earl Grey Cream from Tealish
93

Well, spent a fair chunk of change today at one of my favourite tea stores in Toronto – Tealish! This was one of my purchases. I am really starting to appreciate Earl Grey Creams. Tealish’s version has a lovely aroma and to me, just the right amount of bergamot. I don’t like letting it steep for too long. I find that it gets less creamy tasting if I do. This really is a yummy tasting Earl Grey Cream! Not too bergamot-y and not too creamy. Will mos def be repurchasing!!

Red Velvet Cake from DAVIDsTEA
94

Having a cuppa of this amazing tea whilst waiting to be waxed at my local The Ten Spot :)

The Glow from DAVIDsTEA
91

A backlogged cup as Steepster was not co-operating with me earlier :(. But a yummy cup it was none the less!!

Movie Night from DAVIDsTEA
62

Having another cup of this so-called tea (seriously cannot see any tea leaves) and I seem to be liking it taste-wise less and less. Perhaps the novelty has worn off.

The Glow from DAVIDsTEA
91

This is a delicious tea!! I guess this is what you would call a backlogged review as I had my cuppa after lunch this aft. It is a great balance of cinnamon and an apple flavour. Another DT that will be in my stash ongoing – YAY!

Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA
92

Love, love, LOVE this tea!!! There is something just so cozy about it! The smell, taste, even the colour just make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. To me, it tastes like apple crumble. And I love pink so win-win :) IMHO if you are going to try just one tea from DAVIDs, make it this one!!

Cookie Dough from DAVIDsTEA
78

Enjoying another yummy cup for my afternoon delight :0)
