Hopping right aboard the Eggnog Latte train, though to be fair I’ve been making my own eggnog lattes at home now for weeks – but I had to see what the fuss over DAVIDsTEA’s eggnog lattes was. And this came with a discovery; if I get off at Calendar Club at 12:30 and I don’t start at Sobey’s until after 2:30, I have just enough time to bus down to DAVIDsTEA, eat lunch and get a Tea To Go and the catch the bus to job number two! I may be exploiting this a lot, in the future…
Anyway, since VariaTEA has tried SO MANY DAMN KINDS I wanted to pick one she hasn’t tried; problem being most of the ones she’s tried are my favourite blends from DT. So I chose this; because I do really like this blend and because Cranberry Pear was her favourite (or one of them, at least) and so I thought this could kind of “piggy back” off that one.
So I walked in to DT and very firmly ordered this, and nothing else. YAY WILL POWER! The associate who made this even asked if I worked in the mall and when I inquired as to why he thought that he said something along the lines of "Well, you’re in here so much and you knew exactly what you wanted, which sounds like most mall employees_. Oops? I mean, I do work in a mall…
This was really good though: the ginger kind of blended in with the nutmeg in the eggnog and wasn’t super noticeable – you know, just kind of contributed to the general richness of it all. And then the pear poked through and added such a lovely, rich fruit note. So very thick and sweet and lovely! I was really happy with my choice, but then again that’s often the case when it comes to pear tea, and I knew I liked this one prior.

Yay!! I am glad you liked this one. Also, as I was reading two things happened: (1) I laughed because I have been asked the same thing by almost all the DAVIDs employees at the store I typically go to and (2) I realized I have still never tried this tea.

Ah, I was going to choose this one when I ordered my eggnog latte but switched to Apple Custard at the last minute. Glad it turned out well.
