I love the look of this tea! I almost didn’t want to steep it, haha. I’m not a huge fan of straight whites, but I thought I’d give this one a go just to try it, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised! The employee at DT who served me said this tastes even better re-steeped, so I’ll have to give that a whirl later, as well.

I’ve recently gotten into a grapefruit kick… I loved this an iced tea! Tart, but not overly so, and very drinkable. Definitely going to be in the rotation!

Not really sure where I stand on fruit + mint in my tea, but this was good! Possibly better than Watermelon Mint. Very refreshing as an iced tea.

drank Grilled Pineapple by DAVIDsTEA

While I don’t like this one as much as my beloved Pineapple Oolong (rest in peace), this one was still delicious as an iced blend. Not sure how I’d like it hot (though I’m sure I’ll eventually try it, it is a flavoured green, after all), but this will definitely be in the iced tea rotation this summer.

I bought some Pineapple Oolong a couple of weeks ago in my local store. Discontinued already?

I think so… I haven’t been able to get any online for a while, and my store doesn’t have any. :(

I love, love, LOVE Darjeelings. I can find no fault with this one – my cup was HEAVENLY. I just wish this was around for longer.

drank Coconut Ice by DAVIDsTEA

This was a pleasant surprise! I’m not a huge lover of the coconut teas from DT (Coconut Oolong being the exception), but I had this iced today and it was pretty good! I think, if I ever have it again, to add some milk – this would be delicious as an iced latte! Also, I have to give it props for being organic!

drank Strawberry Colada by DAVIDsTEA

Hurrah, new summer teas! Had this one iced to go today, and- mmmmm, delicious! It definitely reminded me of Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait, which is okay, since I LOVE that one. A different flavour profile might be nice, but I won’t say no to another strawberry tea. You can taste the coconut, so it isn’t as tart as SRP. Definitely getting more of this one – it’s yummy on its own, and would, I think, be delightful as a mix for an, ahem, alcoholic beverage :)

Hurrah, another tea with passionfruit! This makes me happy! I don’t really need another green tea on my shelf, but alas, here it is. I don’t think I like this as much as Pink Passionfruit, but it’s still tasty. At least, it is hot. I haven’t iced it yet, which will be the ultimate test of a passionfruit tea. Again, this one is also a lot heavier for a green tea than I expected, which is kind of annoying.

drank Honey, I Dew by DAVIDsTEA

I wanted to like this one better than I did, but I don’t think any other honeydew tea will match my love for Honeydew Maté. Sigh. This was decent, but it’s a really heavy tea, so I barely got anything for my 10g sample, which also knocks down the rating a little. The tea was also really, really light, and I’m thinking I should have added more leaves to my bag. Maybe next time!

drank Organic The Glow by DAVIDsTEA

A weird inital gathering of ingredients, but since this (to me) smells (and kind of tastes) like an oatmeal cookie, I’ll forgive it. This is surprisingly good, and an excellent blend to have before bed. Also, yay, organic. Definitely will be keeping this one around.
