drank Bananas Foster by 52teas
24 tasting notes

Just had my first cup of this one. Had half of it hot and then had a meeting so I finished the last half cooled off to room temp.

Like the other reviews say, this one tastes much more like cinnamon when hot. The banana came out as it cooled. It leaves a wonderful aftertaste in your mouth of banana baked goodness well after you are done too. You can still taste the black tea predominantly in the blend but it is still a nice balance between black tea – cinnamon – banana. I do not notice the other flavours but it could be due to my short steep times or it could be what is rounding the taste of the brew. I usually do not like black tea steeped for too long but I will try it out next time.

drank Chocolate Orange by DAVIDsTEA
24 tasting notes

This is one where I asked for a whole tin filled even before trying it. It came up to 154 grams. I love chocolate and orange so much that I was confident I’d like it no matter what. I wasn’t disappointed and did enjoy it quite a bit. Very rich chocolate and orange flavours. Nothing mistaken or muddled about it.

My only complaint was if I used too much tea and did a long steep, I would start to get an aritificial, almost chemical taste pop up in the orange flavour. This normally doesn’t occur when I steep it right though.

drank Lime Gelato by DAVIDsTEA

This one is much like advertised. Lime and cream with some green tea kick.

I like how the flavour flows. It comes through immediately rather than on the aftertaste. I find that the creaminess doesn’t come through on a cold steep. So steep hot first and flash freeze is the best for me when I want this one cold.

drank Malted ChocoMaté by 52teas
24 tasting notes

I bought this as part of my first order ever from 52teas. I had gotten two bags.

On my first cup of this blend I was sort of underwhelmed. I oversteeped it a bit and had too much mate flavour. Then I tried it again the next day, studied the flavour more and how the whole cup felt when finishing it and it showed me more of its wonder. I could pick out the hints of malt and chocolate but what really stood out is how smooth this one is. Frank seems to know how to make his blends really flow well. I did this again the next day and before I knew it, I was missing it and/or looking forward to it.

I had gifted my second bag to a friend who loves tea as well and have more coming for myself in the mail.

drank Cotton Candy Black Tea by 52teas

Very tasty blend. Sweet and sugary satisfying. I have yet to try it iced. I like it better than pancake breakfast. I feel that this one get bitter really fast with an oversteep.

drank Pink Flamingo by DAVIDsTEA
24 tasting notes

I feel this tea was really well done. I enjoy it both iced and hot and the flavour takes you in many different directions. (Not nearly as much as Exotica!)

It has the sour and tart flavour or grapefruit but without the bitterness to go along with it. It has kick but still smooth to drink. I find it very enjoyable. Careful on steeping too long!!

drank Salted Caramel by DAVIDsTEA
24 tasting notes

This tea is good. Nothing bad to say about it. Maybe that the flavour could be more memorable but it is just so right. Sweet to start; the salt at the end makes you think that the flavour of the sweet has ended, but it is that ending is what makes it so fulfilling to drink because you can pinpoint it.

drank Gold Rush by DAVIDsTEA

This one left me disappointed. I tried it in store once and it was great. I bought a tin but it never tasted as good or rich after. Maybe I just prefer more bold flavours as I felt this one was really subtle.

I did like eating the mulberries after steeping. :)

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more

drank Mulberry Magic by DAVIDsTEA

This one is so great. I used to drink multiple cups a day until I started venturing out to other teas. I still go back occasionally and remember why I love it so much. It is naturally sweet and has a full flavour from the nuts that is slightly vegetal.
