5 Tasting Notes

Almond Rooibos from The Tea Haus
95

What a pleasant surprise! I received this in the mail from a friend as a birthday gift, actually an alternative to a $5 birthday card. I have a lot of rooibos in my cupboard and am often disappointed that the rooibos overpowers the other flavour. Not here. I thought the almond complimented and brought out the rooibos for a nice refreshing tea. The almond wasn’t overpowering or artificial tasting either. I can’t wait to try another tea from Tea Haus!

Green and Fruity from DAVIDsTEA
82

This was my first experience with green rooibos and definitely not my last! I much prefer green to red when it comes to rooibos. This makes an AWESOME iced tea.

Alpine Punch from DAVIDsTEA
94

Gorgeous tea. I received the Winter Collection for Christmas and this tea was the first in the package to be used up. Fruity, nutty, spicy, yum. Makes a GREAT tea latte. I really hope David’s keeps this one as one of their regular teas and don’t just save it for the holidays.

MatéVana Herbal Tea from Teavana
96

Hands down one of my all time faves. I discovered it on my maiden voyage to Teavana in Chicago about 6 years ago. I’m in Canada and there’s no Teavana here (yet!) so the last time I went to Buffalo, NY I stocked up. Just finished the last of it the other day. Sniff. Thankfully I’m focusing on caffeine-free now, which this is not. But I will always consider it my first love. And if anyone knows of a good alternative to this tea at either Teaopia, David’s or any other Canadian chains PLEASE let me know!!

Bengal Spice from Celestial Seasonings
75

My bagged tea day are pretty well a thing of the passed but this one is still a favourite of mine. It’s a good caffeine free alternative to chai, with the cinnamon, cardomom, etc. flavours. It’s great with milk or as a tea latte. I shared some with my best friend’s daughter when she was 2 1/2. She called it “Tiger tea” because of the tiger on the box. And so Tiger tea shall forever be its name.
