Forever Nuts

Why oh why does it have to taste so good? Darn it. Every Davids Tea I try is awesome and yet soooo far away and hard to get. Ladykittykat did me a huge favor and sent me several teas that i didn’t include in my last order. And of course, I only got a sample of this one and I love it. Oh well. I need to drink the tea I have and then I can think of another mondo order.

2 heaping tsp/12 oz/8 min.

I think the mate tea that I got from DT was the last from that company that I had tried…..And that before that I was having trouble with the almost consistant graham cracker taste so I decided to just avoid it completely for a while and then slowly try them, like 1 a week.
Yes, I do taste a graham cracker taste, but it’s not really bothering me. I do taste the nutty taste, and I used my rock sugar to amp up the flavor. I think this would taste pretty good made as a tea latte, with regular milk, almond milk or some non dairy cream….
Not sure if I could actually buy this because while I do like it, I don’t think I could bear to have it more then maybe once in a great while. Hmm maybe my Dad would like it:)

Not a blend I would try again. Personally, I think it needs a new name. I was shocked to know it’s really not a nutty blend. The look, and the feel resemble what their name states. However, the flavours I get from it is more cinnamon and apple. Also, the smell reminds me of a cinnamon cookie of some sort.

I agree with some of the other tasting notes for this blend: it does remind me of just a glass of very, very weak apple cider, even though it turns into a beautiful red liquid when steeped. I would most likely pick their Toasted Walnut over this blend any day.

The second i smelt it I was sold. It smelt sweet and floral and had hints of all the spices I love. When first drinking i loved this tea, but over time my love has declined.

The first thing that upset me was the artificial flavoring on the packet. There are ways to get a tea like this to smell and taste great without having to add chemicals. That artificial flavoring also only ads sent it really doesn’t enhance the taste.

The tea actually tastes week for my liking. It is sweet and the smell is amazing, but it just doesn’t do it for me. Let me know what you think.

Okay, I think I really like this. I’ve smelled it a couple times before but have been put off because I know it’s a heavy tea and wouldn’t make that many cups. I finally bought some a few days ago and had a chance to try it this morning. I accidentally poured too much water into the teapot for the size mugs the beau and I were drinking from, so I ended up with 2 cups, one steeped at 4 or 5 minutes, and one steeped at 15 minutes. The first cup was lovely and mild, reminiscent of an apple crumble or some other yummy dessert. Really good! The second had a much stronger flavour that I can only assume was the beetroot. I also enjoyed this cuppa, but found it a little more tart than the first, the obvious result of leaving the tea in the pot so long. In general, I quite enjoyed this. The beau says it’s not a re-buy, but I think it might be, especially since Night Out has been discontinued (a travesty, by the way).

The smell of this in the tin (and, to a lesser degree, steeped) just makes me want to grab handfuls and eat it. It’s got a lovely sweet-slightly spicy-earthy-nutty smell that makes me so happy.

I know some people have issues with the pink from the beetroot, but I’m just happy it’s not from hibiscus. And I like that it gives it some colour, because I have a feeling that otherwise it’d just be slightly murky clear liquid, and that’s just sad.

The taste is interesting. I don’t pick up too much apple at first – mostly just a vaguely warm, sweet nuttiness. The spices aren’t hot, just warming. The earthy bitterness of the nuts goes well with the natural sweetness of everything else. Very delicate, almost weak, but next time I’ll try steeping it longer.

Mini-donuts, yes. I am going to have to agree with that review, because that is exactly what this tea tastes like to me. It’s delicious, and I am so glad that I ordered it because I need caffeine-free teas for nighttime. I didn’t think I liked herbal teas, but these last two have impressed me SO much.

I would definitely order this again, but now I want to try more herbals!

Wow. And WOW! This is really, really good. I can’t believe I put it off for so long…

It’s a neat tea, one that I can definitely share with my children. It’s caffeine-free and when it steeps, it turns a hot pink/red color. (Slightly murky though.) The “tea” is basically chunks of stuff. Almonds. Dried apples. Cinnamon bark. Other stuff. It looks lumpy. Anyway, I decided to go heavy on the tea and toward the lower end of their recommended steeping time. I put 1.5 times the amount of tea into the Breville. 205/5 min. It’s outstanding! It smells like an almond cookie straight out of the oven with warm applesauce. Like liquid comfort. It’s very sweet tasting and that sweetness increases as the tea cools. Actually, I’ve found that I really like this tea the longer it cools, around an hour after being made. It’s then that you can really taste the different flavors that are fused together in this cup of cookie heaven. I couldn’t drink it every night, but we’re ordering the large tin of it as it’s a winner in our home!

Free Forever Nuts for everyone! Yes, I would like to give a cup of this marvelous blend to everyone in the world!

No, it’s not nutty. It’s recomforting instead! I’ve just drank a little heavenly cinnamon blend with some apple and others aroma which make me think of… “Croustade aux pommes”. I don’t know how to say it in english, but it smell like that! Definitely it’s worth the buy. The only thing is that the "tea"a is heavy so… You have less tea for your money.

Forever-ever-ever-ever Nutsss!

I went to Davids today to refill my Tung Ting Vietnam tin. And left with 7 new teas. Oh boy. One of those teas being Forever Nuts, which the girl cajoled me into trying, despite my hatred of nuts. She even went so far as to say she thinks it will be added to my permanent collection. It actually smells quite good haha. Like an apple cinnamon pastry.

Yum, yum. Guess I’ll be eating my words. I may not like to eat nuts but man I’m enjoying drinking them. Added bonus – my entire kitchen smells like I’ve been baking delicious pastries :)

Update: The cooler it gets, the more the nutty taste comes out. But surprisingly it’s not ruining the tea for me. And perhaps I’m turning round on cinnamon in this one as well since the Stormy Night disaster.

Continuing my new habit of caffeine-free after seven. Had a tea party to unwind from work, and what is better for a tea party than pink tea? I do enjoy this blend, and I always forget how much. I just wish it wasn’t so heavy!

Another case of “I liked it but wouldn’t buy any more of it”.

The dry and steeping scent is of apple & cinnamon sweetened oatmeal or maybe apple crumble.

The taste is much the same, but weaker. I’d steep it for longer next time to see if that strengthens the flavor, as it was at 4 minutes it was a little watery.

It tastes mostly of apple, red apple flesh in this case, with a hint of cinnamon sweetness in the nose and a toasted flavor around the cheeks just as you finish your sip.

It’s much more an apple drink than anything else. Would likely be loved by those big on fruit tisanes, but I’m not one of those. Again, I think it’s good as a fruit tea but I, personally, wouldn’t get any more of it and will be trading a lot of it.

Intriguing, who knew nuts could make such a tasty tea! It as just a sample I had, but still enough to make me want more!

This deliciously nutty tisane brews an interesting pink color due to the inclusion of beet root.

The aroma makes this tisane very approachable for coffee drinkers, but it’s not strong enough for those who like their java black as it can be. Those who enjoy milk and sugar in their coffees may well like this cuppa.

I really enjoy this drink. Mostly hot, not as much iced. The aroma clearly reminds of a cinnabon or an oatmeal cookie, and the flavor is nutty with hints of sweetness which I presume comes from the beet root.

It is worth noting that you won’t get more than two flavorful steeps from Forever Nuts.

Give this one a try. You may well find a new favorite.

Had this last night after a scary incident of losing one of my cats (still a kitten really) for a couple hours. It looks like she slipped out the front door when I got home and I found her (after much searching) on the steps leading up the next floor (we rent a condo). She was curled up in a little ball and looked miserable. I felt horrible but I’m so glad she didn’t go far. She does have a microchip and a collar but still… Anyway so I needed a nice cup of tea to calm me down.

I really loved the flavor, nutty and a lovely bit of cinnamon (which I love in tea). I also love the color change, tea should be fun. :) I’m a big fan of sprinkles in flavored teas as well! I’d definitely love to have more of this on hand, it was enjoyable to drink.

You know those candied, roasted nuts that street vendors sell? Well, that’s exactly what this tea smells like.

Imagine if someone figured out a way to juice those candied nuts and then served that juice hot. That’s exactly what this tastes like.

It’s sweet, cinnamon-y, and delicious. As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s not a “tea”-tea (there are no actual tea leaves in the bled), but as an herbal, it’s simply outstanding.

I’ve gotten two coworkers addicted to this this stuff, too!

I took advantage of the valentine special and got 25g of Forever Nuts for free with my order. What a strange little tea. I do like it but it is really different. I sweetened it up a bit (as I often do with herbal teas). It has a few flavors going on at once that I honestly can’t dissect at 12am right now, I mean I read the simple ingredients but still… I saw some of the other posts about the taste of mini-donuts and apple cider. Maybe that’s what it tastes like? I may have to try a 2nd cup to decide. Either way, I like the taste for the most part. I would stock this for my friends who prefer herbal tea, since I mostly drink flavored black teas.

Looks like granola, smells like granola, tastes like granola. This tea is for hippies and mountain hikers! Kidding aside, it does taste like a warm mouthful of liquid granola. Almost oatmeal like but a little sweeter and more flavorful. It looks like there is hibiscus in this which I usually hate, but the sample I got didn’t have enough to ruin it for me. It leaves my mouth a little dry after each sip. I get a little bit of nuts in there, walnut I think and some cinnamon. It’s well done, the flavors all work together well in a nice balance, but it’s failing to catch my interest.

I just read the description… beets not hibiscus! No wonder it wasn’t bothering me! And even though I see it says almonds, my taste buds still say walnut.

This doesn’t smell or taste anything like nuts, but rather like apple crumble. I loooove it, and I hate most herbal teas. Might need to pick up a bag of this!

People seem to love this tea a lot more than I did. Had this last night. Smelled REALLY GOOD dry and I really just wanted to nom it up. After steeping though, meh. The nutty yumminess became sorta obnoxious sicky-sweetness. I’m not really one for herbals that aren’t minty, overall, so I’m not really target market, but yeah, not for me.
