Forever Nuts

“For almond lovers”? Pfft. This tea tastes like apple crumble or a delicious wholesome cookie, and for that reason I am INTO IT. What an awesome dessert tea! Needs nothing else added (in fact, adding kind of ruins it – I tried with some honey). I think my sample missed out on any decent-sized beetroot flakes, because I didn’t get the crazy pink cup that everyone remarks on! Mine was instead a lovely apricot shade.

(Yet another TassieTeaGirl sample.)

With a name like Forever Nuts I did imagine that this tea would contain more nuts than what it actually does. In appearance it is the same colour and consistently of chopped nuts which I suppose aids it’s name.

The apple pieces are tough and very dry which does not look very fresh. I can only spot a small amount of almond and cinnamon bark in the blend. Not very impressive so far. The smell is subtle with tones of dark spicy fruit at it’s best/strongest.

Once steeped the tea is deep pink in colour with a sweet, creamy and nutty scent. Like roasted almonds.

Hmmm… this is an… interesting… flavour. It tastes nutty, dry, sweet, fruity and tangy. I can’t taste any cinnamon or spice which was prominent in the raw scent. Every sip is a little different: fruit, nuts, candy, cake.

I’m still unsure about this one… it’s just different and I cannot decide if it’s a positive thing or not. My husband is undecided too.

Forever Nuts was one tea I was really looking forward to trying. I brewed this up on a dayshift after I brought a small sample of it from an even smaller sampler that I had bought at DAVIDs as a birthday present.

Now, I was expecting more than I got. I expected to be hit but a roasted, nutty flavor that filled my heart and stomach but I barely was able to detect a hint of nuts to it. And my entire strainer was full of them! I put it off as it being a more subtle tea, as you are not supposed to be overwhelmed by it as if you are standing in front of a bin of almonds and wrote down it would go good with a morning biscotti and to leave it at that.

A tin buy? Not warranted. If this tin is pretty? Ahhh… Maybe then. Just maybe.

Forever Nuts definitely caught me by surprise. First you taste cinnamon, then a hint of apple? It is slightly sweet but very light and calming. The taste of roasted nuts is delicious! The color is vibrant pink from the beet root. Nice before bed time. A tea everyone must try.

I really enjoy this one, a lot! BUT it doesn’t taste like nuts to me. More overpowered by the apples and cinnamon. But I really like the taste it brings! It is one of my favorites for a sweet treat.

I had a truly amazing cup of this on the bus home from work tonight. I put a serious pump of agave in it and steeped it for 6-8 minutes. unfortunately, i was on the bus and so the tsac stayed in the whole ride home and it started to get a little mroe heavy on the apple and the nuts kind of got lost. however, it was still amazing.

So far, this is my go-to dessert tea of choice after a savoury meal. I add a little bit of german rock sugar (Teavana) to it. The taste is apple-y and cinnamon-y, but I’m not sure if I can taste the nuts too much. I suppose it does taste a bit like the mini-doughnuts that you can get at festivals. The taste is powerful and juicy, almost more like you’ve added juice crystals to a hot cup rather than tea. Those who don’t stray far from traditional teas won’t like this probably, but I love it!

I went to bed last night with thoughts of jfinn1984’s review of Forever Nuts clamoring around my head. Of course, I had to have it first thing this morning. Decaf free, yet the shocking pink color helps to wake you up. It does smell like fall, a homey aroma that is soothing. Good taste, what’s not to love?

LOVE Forever Nuts! Tried it in a sample set I got for Christmas, and fell in love. Try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, a splash of banana liqueur, some banana chips, or a few chocolate chips to the steeper for an extra decadent treat. Liquid banana nut muffins anyone? I even add the soggy steeped goodies to smoothies!

I really wanted to like this tea, since it is so beautiful and fun looking, but I just did not! I found it not delicious enough, and something about it made me thirsty! Much prefer other David’s Teas such as Midsummer’s Night Dream and Exotica.

Not quite as nutty as I was hoping..
BUT IT’S DELICIOUS~ Believe the hype.
I can’t even describe the flavor. It’s amazing. Steeped, it smells like Apple Jacks cereal. A little nutty, but more beetroot and cinnamon. Not even too heavy on the apple. It tastes like the crumble on an apple crumble pie.

My only issue is that I’ve never really understood the point of herbal teas unless they have major health benefits.. and this one really doesn’t. I think I’m going to use this as a mixer with a plain tea. :)

This is one of the first teas that got me hooked on David’s Tea. It’s pretty much delicious all year round and looks pretty in my glass mug with its pink color. I love the combination of the nutty and fruity taste- sweet and delicious!!

I’ve been going through my Sweet Indulgence box set that my parents got me for Christmas, and have finally worked over to this tea. It smelt awesome, and then made myself a cup of it. Like most reviewers, I found it smelt completely different from its actual taste. The pink color is marvelous, and it has a beet taste to it alright (which is where the color comes from). The taste of the herbal tea reminded me of “sweet and sour” candies, more akin to sour keys. Mind you, it doesn’t taste like that at all.

The taste was a whole other experience. At the front, you have the sour taste from the beetroot. Then, you get the sweet nutty taste from the almond, apple, and cinnamon. When I first sipped it, I didn’t know how to feel. Now that the cup is done, I want more! It’s a tricky cup to figure out, and honestly reminds me of some of the crazy things that happen in life.

It’s outstanding what tea can remind me of!

This tea when I opened the bag smelled like Cinnabon. I couldn’t get over how sweet it smelled, but in a warm cinnamon way. I wanted to warm it up and eat it right away.
I steeped it and it turned bright pink, which I really didn’t expect at all! But it added some nice charm to it.
This tea mixes well with a bunch of different teas. I’ve only added it to Pumpkin Chai, but I have friends that have added it to a bunch of different ones and they have loved it.
This tea goes really on its own too. I’ll drink it when I want something sweet and want something different.
DavidsTea, why do you have to make so many awesome teas!?!

The smell of Forever Nuts is like a cool crisp caramel apple! I just adore the fact that this tea is mainly comprised of a collection of sweetened nuts. When brewed the water turns into a soft rose colour which is not what I expected. When hot, the tea has a crisp apple taste and does not need any sweetener, I prefer it all on it’s own. I would keep this tea in my cupboard since it is also a great tea to bring out when company is around as a conversation piece.

Oh my goodness. It smells like an apple crisp. With the granny smith apples, and an oatmeal, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon crumble on top. I was nervous about this one… after having a not so great experience with nuts in one of the past calendar tasters.

As for the taste, I had to add a bit of sweetener (I use agave) to really bring out the flavors. It’s delicious though! It really does taste like an apple crisp. I love it! It’s light and fresh and still incorporates the warmth of cinnamon on your tongue. Tasty tasty tasty!

This is my day #13 of the David’s Tea “24 Days of Tea” advent calendar.

Ommmmmmmmm nom nom nom nom. Super delicious – But I feel like THIS should be Mom’s Apple Pie, not the sham of a green tea offered by David. Anyway, in my opinion this tea is just not nutty enough to be named Forever Nuts. It is SO apple-y and cinnamon-y. But I do love it in its beautiful simplicity.
On an interesting note, I accidentally fell asleep while steeping it in my tumbler one night (whoops) but decided to drink it in the morning. THAT was Forever Nuts. It was so overly nutty that I could barely drink it (actually, I didn’t).
Another day, I was too tired to drink it and left it to steep in the fridge overnight, then put it in my fruit smoothie in the morning. Yum Yum Yum.
I should probably stop having this tea when I’m too tired to drink it.

This is not as nutty as it’s smells. Fear not, It’s more like the most delicious, reconforting apple pie I’ve ever tasted. With lots and lots of spices and crumbleness and nuts and very tart apples. Can’t wait to share this nice cuppa.

My second roll of the day turned up this one and I couldn’t be happier! So delicious, I love the almond flavor and I’m a girly-girl at heart. I love that it steeps up pink! squee! We’re almost out of this one, we need to restock soon!

This herbal tastes, comforting, a little spicy, and just a bit earthy. It reminds me of fresh baked goods..oatmeal cookies in particular, as others have mentioned. I’m not usually a huge fan of non-caffeinated teas, but this one just makes me happy. It has just enough flavour to avoid being either too watery tasting or too heavy and sweet. I can see myself drinking this at any time of the day or year, but I think it would be particularly soothing on a cool fall afternoon.
