36 Tasting Notes

Chocolate Orange (Oh Christmas Treat) from DAVIDsTEA
100
Cream Irish Breakfast from Great Wall Tea Company
86

Can I just say that I LOVE the flavour of Assam?

I’m a bit of a “straight up” person when it comes to tea, but this one I’ll add about half a pack of cane sugar to (I know, living on the edge here). The flavours come together with the perfect amount of sweetness and the creaminess is definitely there. I love this tea in the morning because of the wake-me-up factor. And I really appreciate the simplicity of this tea in that it doesn’t have a lot of things added to it and yet it is so delicious.

Autumn Breeze from Teaopia
82

It tastes exactly like it smells: amazingly-fruity-flowery-deliciousness.

I love this tea in the evenings because I find it relaxes me and has the right amount of sweetness to give me that perfect end to my day. The flavour of the honeybush mixes well with the papaya and the aroma of the tea is very inviting, something to curl up with for sure.

This is the only tea I have from Teaopia, as I don’t really like Teaopia, but this was one I HAD to go back and buy more of because I liked it that much.

Lady Londonderry from Great Wall Tea Company
81
Carrot Cake from DAVIDsTEA
72
Sencha Pear (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
76

Tried it in store and loved the flavour. The pear was so light and refreshing. I was already planning on buying a bunch of other blends so this one didn’t make the cut, but sometime soon I’ll have to buy a small bag.

Jumpy Monkey from DAVIDsTEA
56

My first mate. I used to really like this tea. I recently had it again and now it’s turned into a “meh” kind of tea.

Snow Bunny (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
78

I was a bit disappointed by my first few cups of this tea. It was not banana bread. But then I realized what my problem was: not enough bits of banana and nuts were going into my cup. Problem solved. Not really following the bunny connection though…

Spiced Carob (organic) / Dr. Chocolate from DAVIDsTEA
79
Southern Belle from DAVIDsTEA
95

Stevia scares me. All my previous experiences with it have left me with a funny taste in my mouth and even less of a desire to find a healthy sugar alternative. So I was apprehensive of this tea. But, the yogurt bits drew me in so I bought a small bag. Turns out stevia CAN work well as a sweetener. The yogurt bits melt and create a kind of filminess in the tea, which is kinda weird. But everything else. The smell. The taste. It’s like making (terrible looking) lattice top peach pies in the summer all over again. K, now I want peach pie…guess I’ll just have to have a cup of this!

The Earl's Garden from DAVIDsTEA
74

I like Earl Grey, but to be honest, I can usually take it or leave it. But this version of Earl Grey is more interesting than plain-old regular Earl Grey. I like the floral notes and the sweetness of the fruit was a nice surprise. It actually tastes as delicious as it smells. A keeper.

Sleigh Ride from DAVIDsTEA
81

When I went to the store I smelled this tea and was confused because I had come into the store to replenish my Forever Nuts stash. It’s basically a fancier, winterier version of Forever Nuts. Really yummy, resteeped great, and relaxed me so well the other night that I was falling asleep while drinking it.

Chocolate Chili Chai from DAVIDsTEA
73

I’m not really a fan of chai. But this one is subtle enough that I like it. Plus it has chocolate, so how could you go wrong?

Forbidden Fruit from DAVIDsTEA
65
Toasted Walnut from DAVIDsTEA
94

I’m a green tea girl at heart. But lately I’ve been sticking more to blacks because I just need more caffeine. This tea reminded me why I love green tea so much. The nuts (subtle which is what I like) and the fruit balance each other out perfectly. I like to crumble the larger chunks of walnut into smaller pieces so that the walnuts last longer and because honestly, can you actually “steep” the flavour out of a walnut? And if you can, wouldn’t it work better if it was in smaller pieces? But that’s just me. Anyway. I had to buy a big tin.

Mint Chocolate Rooibos from DAVIDsTEA
83

One of the best blends of mint chocolate rooibos I’ve had. The proportion of chocolate to mint is just right. I think it’s the addition of vanilla that pushes it over the line from good to great.

Love Tea #7 from DAVIDsTEA
74
Green & Fruity from DAVIDsTEA
95

I. Adore. Green rooibos!!!!!!!

Since I require copious amounts of caffeine to get through my day, I sometimes forget about my rooibos blends. And every time I go back to this one I remember just why I love it. The earthiness of the green rooibos combined with all the sweetness from the different kinds of fruit results in this amazing combination of refreshing-relaxing-tropical vacationness.

Movie Night from DAVIDsTEA
78

Tea with popcorn? What will they think of next…

I love apple, so this tea definitely gets points for that. However, I was disappointed at the amount (rather, lack of amount) of green tea in it.

Still, a delicious drink. They could probably benefit from removing the green tea altogether so that people don’t get disappointed from how little is in it and add something else like caramel bits.

Crème de Menthe from DAVIDsTEA
63

I wasn’t sure of buying it because it kinda smells like mouthwash, but I got it anyway because I was curious. The creme de menthe flavour is definitely there, and I think that in order to enjoy the tea you have to really like that flavour. But because it has that huge hit of caffeine and refreshing mint it is a really great morning tea.

Happy Kombucha from DAVIDsTEA
59

There is nothing more amusing than pouring some tea leaves into your infuser to discover a chunk of pineapple the size of your thumb. Decently pleasing tea, not one I’d buy again though. It was my first time having kombucha though, so maybe it was just the kombucha not going over well.

Jessie's Tea from DAVIDsTEA
94

I actually bought this tea on a whim for a Jessie. She let me try some and I had to go buy a tin. So. Good. A fantastic evening tea because the lavender is so relaxing. And the coconut is a perfect combination. I’d never think to combine coconut and lavender, because they seem like such different flavours but it works so well and produces a unexpected subtle but sweet flavour.

Oh Canada from DAVIDsTEA
87

Not only does it taste delicious, but it smells amazing too. I tried to eat the maple leaves after I steeped the tea…not so much. However, if you eat them before you steep it, they’re just like candy :D
